Editing Magic

'''Magic''' is a combat skill in Winds of Valen. It features the use of wands and staves, each imbued with one of three elements, and is often paired with warding armour.

== How to Train Magic ==

* Equip a wand or staff that requires the Magic skill.
* Be in an '''Offensive stance''' (change this in the Stance tab, default hotkey: '''V''').

Once a wand or staff is equipped, click on an enemy to attack. Magic weapons draw from an internal energy pool (recharged with [[Essence]]) rather than consuming ammo like arrows.

=== Benefits of Training ===

* Improves accuracy and damage dealt with Magic weapons.
* Unlocks stronger wands and staves.

=== Experience ===

* 25% of the experience gained from damage dealt is also applied to Health.
* Higher level enemies give more experience.

== Elemental Effects ==
Every wand and staff is tied to one of three elements, each with its own on-hit effect:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Element !! Effect
|-
| '''Fire''' || Applies a Burn: deals a total of 15% of the hit's damage over time, decaying as it ticks. Staves apply a longer Burn duration than wands.
|-
| '''Ice''' || Applies a Chilled effect that slows the target's movement speed; higher-tier weapons apply a stronger slow.
|-
| '''Lightning''' || Builds Static Charges on the caster with each hit. At maximum charges, the next attack consumes them all to trigger an additional hit dealing 50% of the first hit's damage.

== Wands & Staves ==

Wands and staves are charged with [[Essence]] rather than requiring ammunition. The [[Birch Ice Wand]] applies a 25% slow and the [[Willow Ice Wand]] a 30% slow on hit (the [[Carved Ice Wand]]'s exact slow isn't confirmed yet). Ice and Lightning currently top out at the Carved tier; only Fire has a staff-tier weapon so far, dropped by [[Fire Lich]].
