To balance automatic casting and give players incentives to manually cast spells in some cases, rather than relying on auto-casting at all times.To give players incentives to use some of the weaker spells in the game since they have more Charges and are probably more suitable for auto-casting teams.To alleviate the issues with mana that I mentioned above.The goals of the new Charge system are as follows: For example, the “Arcane” buff now causes the next spell a creature casts to consume no Charges, and then the Arcane buff is removed. Aside from that, there are plenty of traits, spells, and other effects that interact with the new Charge system to allow you to regenerate your Charges in battle. You can also sometimes find some in-realm objects and events that will restore your creatures’ Charges. Instead, they will fully replenish when you leave your current realm. When a Spell Gem runs out of Charges, it can’t be cast anymore until you replenish those Charges.Ĭharges do not replenish after battle. After a creature casts a spell – whether manually or automatically – a Charge is consumed. The more powerful the spell, the fewer Charges the gem probably has. Therefore, the mana stat has been removed from Siralim Ultimate in favor of a new resource system for casting spells: Charges.Įach spell gem has a certain number of Charges. Overall, the mana system was virtually impossible to balance in order for it to “feel good” to play with. It also felt strange that mana didn’t increase as your creatures leveled up while all other stats did… so while your creatures might someday have 5 trillion health, they’d still have the same ~25 mana that they started with at level 1. Most creatures had such small mana pools that they could only cast 1 or 2 spells per battle, while others had such low mana that they couldn’t cast certain spells at all. The old mana system never really worked out at all. Reverse Polarity (Sorcery) – Target’s debuffs are converted to random buffs.īlastwave (Chaos) – Enemies take a small amount of damage, or a massive amount of damage if they are Burned. Madness (Nature) – Target and the caster take a devastating amount of damage.įlood of Darkness (Death) – Enemies that are Cursed attack their allies at random. This spell casts a number of times equal to the number of times your creatures have resurrected in the current battle. Schism (Life) – Enemies take a moderate amount of damage. Here are five new spells that you’ll see in Siralim Ultimate – one for each class: New Spellsįirst things first: there are over 100 new spells for you to use in Siralim Ultimate! Most of these are a bit more niche than the original spells, and I hope they’ll unlock new and exciting play-styles for you to try. Much like Artifacts, Spell Gems will have some serious quality-of-life improvements compared to how they worked in the previous games. Welcome to the first dev blog of 2020!
