There is also the arcane siphon stat on some items that will give your character a chance to not use any power when casting a spell. Other than +focus and some minotaur relic bonuses, there are no modifiers that reduce the cost of casted spells though Cave Shamans do have an a debuff that increases the power cost of spells cast by their enemies. Using the same example again, if a focus caster was casting a level 45 spell that cost 70 power and that spell was in a line that the caster only had +30 composite spec in, and they had a fully repaired +50 all focus spells staff equipped they would use 65 power so getting some reduction but not the full 80% due to the spell’s level being higher than their composite spec. So just make sure your focus staff is equipped, fully repaired, and that your composite specialization of the spell’s skill line is above the spell’s level to get that full 80% power cost reduction. These days, one doesn’t have to worry as much about having the right Focus specialization or +level stat, as almost all focus staffs have a +50 to all magic lines. line, the staff’s condition is 100%, and your character’s composite specialization level is higher than the spell’s level then the power cost is reduced to 80% of the delved power cost.Ĭontinuing the example, a 70 power cost spell now only costs 56 power with the (fully repaired) focus staff equipped and a higher composite spec. When a focus staff is equipped, has a focus stat that is higher level than the spell being cast, is of the right spec. Can you provide insight into the factors that go into how much a spell costs and how much or little using a mace/shield over a staff affects different types of spells? Thank you.įirst, a quick reminder on what classes are set as a "focus caster" (note: a focus caster is not the same as a list caster for example a Valewalker is a list caster, but not a focus caster): AlbionĪs that old grab bag states, if you do not have a focus staff equipped and are casting a spell on a focus caster your power cost will be increased by 120% of the spell’s normal power cost value.įor example, a spell that costs 70 power (in the delve) will cost 84 power when not using a focus staff on a focus caster.
