Introduction to Magic in TSS

Like most systems in TSS, the magic system is fairly unique. If not entirely ‘specific’ to TSS, it incorporates many tried and well loved features of other magic systems into one complete system. Because Mages will be very powerful, as they should be, the huge thing to keep in mind is balance. Mages were not found around every corner and under every stone. They were a fairly rare breed, and thus we do not want to see TSS overrun with magettes.

In an attempt to control this somewhat, the magic system at first will be pretty brutal to the character. But as they grow, they will be come more powerful and the character more enjoyable. With the system set up, many people will likely not make it past level 20 as a magic user if they do not –really- want to be one.

Those that do will be highly rewarded with a powerful and versatile character. When I say the system will be brutal, I do not mean that players will hate to be magic users, it will just be a bit of a challenge at the start. Though the magic system is –different- than any other a player may have used before, there are a lot of familiar elements that they will identify with and that will help them grasp the system better.

Magic is meant to be something special. It is meant to be something that is worked for and earned. Much like in the times of wizards, it took ages upon ages for a mage to truly come into their own. It will not take so long in TSS, but the first 20 levels will definitely be the maker of the mage.


Who Can Use Magic?

Since every race is a creation of one of the Gods, they all have the ability to use Magic. The question is, how. The Wiki will provide a list of the classes that can use magic, and what type of magic they will use. There are subclasses within each class and the subclass that a character is will depend on the player’s choice of kits. Kits play a major part in defining your character and allowing you to make the decisions on what your character will do.

What are some unique things about Magic in TSS?

Aside from the fact that magic has a solid explanation of its existence, you should check out the wiki to learn about schools, spell types, how all classes in Xaltoria use magic and last but not least - Mage Towers.
