First off, a mage must have their body be a recipient of mana itself.
Seek out the court magician with his mana fountain, and plead to be baptized. You might get rejected, you might not.
If you receive the blessing, congratulations! You can now absorb mana from leylines!
Next, you must learn how to read. Surprising if you got this far without reading! You will also need to achieve some rudimentary arcyne knowledge.
You will need to raise your arcyne skill to atleast one, either from gazing upon another mage's Arcyne Sigil, being an apprentice of a mage making arcane items, or by practicing making some yourself. Transmuting stones into amethysts is a great way to practice up to that starting level.
After you've achieved your basics, you may make your first grimoire!
| |
||||
Scroll x 6 Gem, Essence or Magic rock x 1 |
1. Add all the scrolls to the hide. 2. Add the Gem, Essence or Magic Rock. |
The quality of your grimoire will depend on which material you used to finish it, and the quality impacts how many spellpoints you receive whilst studying it.
| Quality | Materials | |
| Horrible | Magic stone +4 and lower | |
| Beginner | Magic stone +5 to +9 | |
| Apprentice | Magic stone +10 and above | |
| Adept | Every gem except saffiras and amethysts | |
| Expert | Saffiras | |
| Master | Tier 3 Melded Essence | |
| Legendary | Tier 4 Melded Essence |
To get started, we will need either an arcyne dagger or infused chalk.
| Crafting Difficulty | How to Build | ||
| Infused Chalk | Add cinnabar to a regular mana potion. | ||
| Limited Infused Chalk | Add manabloom powder to a small primordial quartz. | ||
