Naive question on casting 500+ fatigue spells
Some spells, the most exhausting of which seem to be Army of Lead IIRC, require upwards of 500 fatigue.
I think you start to die when your fatigue hits 200, right? Anyone know how much more fatigue you can take before dying, or does this depend on something from situation to situation?
Well in any case, I think AoL needs 7 gems and takes 700 fatigue. Even if you have a 9-earth pretender with earth boots and a tome of gaia, won't he or she still die when casting this spell? Ditto for other spells of similar type? And so no "normal" (non-pretender) mage could ever hope to cast this or similar spells without suiciding? Or am I missing something?

Communion is what you're missing.

Re: Naive question on casting 500+ fatigue spells
If you give your earth-9 pretender ~13 gems (or less or more depending on the magic scale) he should be below 100 fatigue after casting Army of Lead. No communion or Earth Boots needed.

No mage will ever cast a spell that will bring them above 200 fatigue. The only times that they will cast these spells is when they have enough gems and skill to bring the fatigue down to 200 or lower. |

Re: Naive question on casting 500+ fatigue spells
thank you -- excuse the re-question, but...
Isn't 1 gem the maximum for reducing fatigue?
That is: I thought that only 1 gem could be used to boost virtual power in fatigue reduction?

I'm not that clear on fatigue reduction by gems.
What I've understood is that you get a "basic" divide in fatigue of (Your level - Spell Level)+1
So an Earth-9 guy casting AoLead (E7) will get 700/3=233, still too high.
Then how many gems can you spend and what do they do ? The spell costs 7 gems, why do you propose 6 more ? |
