**Note I am from England so I spell things the English way eg
Meter = metre
color = colour
honor = honour
etc
also there is this:
in the UK the first floor of a building is called the ground floor , while
the next is ground floor , then the next is 3rd floor , etc different
from the American version where the ground floor is the first floor
hence:
USA ----> UK
1st floor = ground floor
2nd floor = first floor
3rd floor = 2nd floor
and so on , though I have tried to incorporate both or use a get around
of up a level instead to avoid confusion.
Introduction
On the back of the box UK at least it says 96 unique skills which is a bit
of a lie since
some are duplicated more than once , however with so many I thought hmm
somebody
ought to tell you all about it , and since its a boring bank holiday where
nothing is open
(shops etc) I thought I'd share my thoughts since its been a year or so
since I've
written anything to FAQ sites whilst using them extensively (FAQ sites). Its
something
to do and gives you the low down on the skills before committing points to
them , though
you can learn spells and skills via other means by doing quests or finding
the spell book
though you should refer the the image not what the text says for the spell
since I've had
multiple instances of the curse spell one was curse , another fear etc.
Everything here is listed as my opinion only the stats are taken from ingame
screens so
are reasonably accurate , I am open to second opinions via email which I
shall add to the
end of each skill if I receive them. Though don't expect frequent updates.

Level1 = 10% chance of double dagger damage
required Level 1
Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)
Level2 = 20% chance of double dagger damage
required Level 5
Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)
Level3 = 30% chance of double dagger damage

Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)
Level5 = 50% chance of double dagger damage
required Level 17
Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)
Effect:
Using dagger class weapons you get a chance or getting 200% damage when you
hit an enemy
as obvious from the above stats the higher the skill points in this skill
the higher the chance of a
backstab attempt.
Usefulness : 2/10
Comments:
A bit iffy really in that the usage is pretty dubious , and that in divinity
the highest
damage knife/ dagger type weapons I've ever found did a damage of 59 and
expending 5 skill points just to get a 50% chance of double damage is a
waste.
the warrior specialist skills are MUCH more worthy of points than this.
Since
putting just one or two onto one of the other skills reduces the recovery
time by
around 3 (say for sword) with for a typical Bastard sword will make its
recovery
time 7 rather than 10. Since a bastard sword usually averages around 40-69
(or more) a single swing of that + whatever your offence + strength
currently
is does more damage than an average dagger WITH backstab damage. Its useful
at the start when you are terribly weak but you get strong pretty quick in
this game.
Added to the fact that other warrior specialist skills increase the damage
done
of the weapon such as sword adding a % on top this skill isn't useful.

Effect
Unlock some of the doors in divinity some doors CANNOT be picked no matter
what your
Level , say the Verdistis doors which lead to the thieves / assassins guild
and or plot locked
doors such as Dr Elrath's when you get booted out.
Usefulness 5/10
Comments:
Female survivor starts with one point on this skill
The usefulness of this skill is dependent on what you want in the game ,
with one or two
Levels you can open many many doors , and some chests , but to get Baud's
tea for killing
the talking tree , or the dragon armour belt you NEED Level 5 of this skill.
Rather than say
spend 5 skill points on this skill however you can often find armour or
weapons that give you
+1 in this skill for free.
However rather than spend all the skill points you can save the skill points
for Level 5 by
equipment during my last 3 games in divinity I must have gotten 4 items
(separate) which
let me use this skill thus saving me from putting on all those points
myself.
the usefulness isn't all that high I reckon other than for some vital things
such as the dragon
armour belt and bauds tea which require you to have 5 Levels in this skill.
I would also recommend that if you use this skill regularly that you do not
reveal Tingalf's
scam until very late in the game since Tingalf consistently has lock picks
to buy , while
Mzenpak only sometimes has them while other traders very rarely have
them.Also Tingalf
is nicely placed nearby to the arsmagicana teleporter while Mzenpak is miles
away in Verdistis.

Usefulness 1/10
Comments
A bit iffy if you ask me since nearly all NPCs* will trade with you and that
money is really
really prevailant in divinity and that you can collect so much booty that
you can sell if for
loads , other than using it to cure victims of the plague by giving it to a
victim then stealing
it back off them, and to join the thieves guild I found this really
worthless. If you really want
to join the thieves guild find a piece of equipment that has this attached
to it. Also anybody
who is important and has some good stuff is usually at a high Level say
kroxy so you can't
steal off them anyway.

usefulness 1/10
Comments
This is pretty worthless why you may ask its because there are very very few
traps in this game ,
and the ones that there are mainly spider mines and trail bombs , spider
mines you can run away
from.Just listen for a hatching sound when you hear it run and you can evade
it. Trail bombs are
used lots by thugs , only the ones with swords though , not the ones with
scythes or cross bows,
you can spot when they use them by the fact that they pause for a
moment.Since you'll be busy
trying to kill them , you aren't going to stop and disarm it anyway they use
them agressively so that
you are already triggering it when they lay it and thus are unavoidable.
As an added problem for this skill is that traps do fire damage spider mines
AND trail bombs so
that if you have a high resistance say 100 to fire you won't take much
damage from these anyway.
Alternatives
Running from traps
Spotting thug trail bomb planting and keeping away from that area
Level1 = set traps with these stats:
Spider mines = 20 damage (fire damage)
Trail bombs = 20 damage (fire damage)
Death scorpions = Level 100 (physical attack + random poison damage)
required Level 5

Level2 = set traps with these stats:

Level3 = set traps with these stats:

Trail bombs = 60 damage (fire damage)
Death scorpions = Level 300 (physical attack + random poison damage)
required Level 17

Level4 = set traps with these stats:
Spider mines = 80 damage (fire damage)
Trail bombs = 80 damage (fire damage)
Death scorpions = Level 400 (physical attack + random poison damage)
required Level 23
Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)*
Level5 = set traps with these stats:
Spider mines = 100 damage (fire damage)
Trail bombs = 100 damage (fire damage)
Death scorpions = Level 500 (physical attack + random poison damage)
required Level 29
Mana used at this Level 0 (passive)*
*the game stat says they cost Mana but it doesn't only the item you use
Effect:
Spider mines plants an egg which only YOU can see and enemies hostile to you
can set
off , it hatches and is like a little ball which bounces towards the enemy
nearby which does
spread damage so that not only the target but those closeby are hurt.
Trail bombs bury several mounds of explosive powder which explode when an
enemy or
you move close to it , enemies can take damage from one or mutiple mounds ,
it also
does spread damage so that more than one enemy can be hurt (this includes
YOU too
so if you use them aggressively you'll be caught in the blast).
I would note that trail bombs AND spider mines inflict fire damage so that
enemies with
say 100 resistance (excluding you) won't be hurt by trail bombs or spider
mines it'll
explode but won't do anything.
Death Scorpions , releases an allied steel scorpion which is hard as nails
and has ALOT of
health , one on one they can take on anything other than say dragon riders ,
or bosses enmasse
they are unstoppable. The enemies they kill give YOU the experience if you
are within a certain
range.They also do some poison damage and death scorpions die after a
'while' , when I say
that I mean I'm not sure , since if you release them and use a bed you die ,
however if you
follow it you can follow it all day and night.Death Scorpions however seem
especially vulnerable
to lightening ,well they are made from steel , but (yours at least) seem
invulnerable to poison
and fire.The only major problem associated with death scorpions is the
weight at 40 each
10 of them will suck up 400 of your weight allowance, a good method to use
them is to buy
in bulk. Use the separate items command (ctrl) to drop them in piles of 10
and have a teleport
stone nearby , if you set-up a homebase near arsmagicana then you don't need
to do this.You
can teleport in buy them off Tingalf and teleport back into the fray.
Usefulness 10/10
Comments
The usefulness is purely in the death scorpions at Level 1 they can pretty
much rip through
anything without too much trouble although when enemies are massed around a
single one
they can hold their ground but not always say against mountain trolls.
Unfortunately this
has one pretty major side effect in that battles mostly become boring in
that if you see anything
that looks tough you just release a few of them and the battle is over esp
if combined with
a shadows spell or potion.
I would also recommend that if you use this skill regularly that you do not
reveal tingalf's
scam until vert late in the game since Tingalf consistently has traps to buy
, while Mzenpak
only sometimes has them while other traders very rarely have them.Also
Tingalf is nicely placed
nearby to the arsmagicana teleporter while Mzenpak is miles away in
verdisis.

insignificant
anyway.
Usefulness 3/10
Comments
Its gonna save you ALOT of stamina potions depending on your style of play
mine is to
run everywhere because walking is far far too slow in this game , if you are
a sniper
and use a bow a great deal (recommended) they you'll like one or two one
this.Since
you fire off a couple shots run back fire some more and run back etc repeat
as required.

Makes you vanish in 'dark areas' ie indoors in dungeons and at night ,
costs 0 Mana to cost
and sustain , instead it eats away at your stamina bar which means at high

you can stay unseen for quite some time. You become visible the second you
step into light
say outsight or do something like attack somebody pick up an item etc.
Usefulness 3/10
Comments
Not all that good , since this is very limited by the fact that you can only
use it in certain
conditions and with the 1.0034 patch you have NO warning of day and night
cycles all
of a sudden it becomes day or night previously you'd get dawn and dusk sort
of thing now
you don't , however its sucks up you stamina NOT your Mana which is a good
point
though fade from sight is MUCH MUCH better for being invisible than this.

Effect - Makes your weapon apply poison damage when it hits , reducing the

Usefulness 3.5/10
Comments
This is semi useful and costly in that you have to go buy poison apply it
and then use it the
problem with this is that poison isn't all that effective against enemies in
health terms it might
stop them chasing you for a while while they jerk from the effects of poison
but it becomes
very useless later on and if used often you might run huge poison bills.
Though you can get
free poison from the cellar Dr Elrath rents and also from the Orc cave where
it is stored.This
partners kind of well with heavens gift since you can get alot of poison
from using that spell.
Alternatives
Poison damage
Poison arrows
Poison grenades , ie if you throw bottles of poison from the inventory at
enemies sometimes
they break , heck if you drop poison flasks and try to pick them up they
break poisoning
you.

usefulness : 5/10
Comments
Fairly useful but not that much in that I made it through 3 games with only
one Level on
this which I started with as a female survivor.Since you can use items right
away and
get more cash for them if you sell them , but my style of play is to find a
good weapon
(bastard sword +4stun + 3poison damage + 4 death blow +3 offence!) rather
than
keep changing.The alternative is to go to a trader say and pay them 100 gold
to identify
items for you, since items which are valuable usually are Level 2-5 it
generally pays for itself
to ask people to identify items for you.
You can get this skill free from:
Marcus at the rivertown market after finding the his wares and betraying
tingalf.

Usefulness 5/10 (with diminishing usefulness)
Comments
Its usage is pretty limited to combining health (red) and Mana (blue) to
form restoration
potions which are MUCH better for you for example.
Minor healing use it and it gives you 40 health
Minor restoration use it and it gives you 40% back of health + Mana,
While you are a weakling this matters very little since 40 health is a
significant part of your
health bar, but when you get around Level 30-40 your health bar gets pretty
big either via
charms , constitution or via equipment or otherwise. 40 health points is
nothing.If or rather
when you have 1000+ health points a single minor restoration = 400 health +
400 Mana
vs 40 health and 40 Mana if used separately , saving you 18 potions to
recover this amount
and alot of weight to boot.
I'd also comment that herbs are a finite resource though theres lots and
lots of them I
Managed to strip most of northern rivertown of everything mushrooms , herbs
etc.
I would also note that when mixing potions at level 2 you can mix potions of
the same size
and also of a differing size the result that occurs is the smaller sized
potion.Ie if you mix a
minor healing with a super magic you will get a minor restoration. Super
sized restoration
potions however are a bit of a waste in that a normal one will heal you
completely anyway
so the effect is wasted.
To use an augmentor when you have the skill level drag and drop a minor or a
normal
potion over the augmentor plant.Though if you can use augmentors its a bit
iffy anyway
since you can just drag large empty flasks over herbs directly to make
potions of the
larger variety.

Effect : under the health bar at the top of the screen it displays a list of

Usefulness 2/10
Comments: Not all that useful in that there is a simple fact in divinity if
you can't kill it
get some more experience come back and then try to kill it , its more useful
for mages
than warriors since you might want to switch spells , but warriors mainly
cave in the
heads of enemies and you can't really do much else about that!.
The sight rating is semi useful though especially on enemies that blind you
so that you
can kill them at long range before they can use blind spells on you (for
some reason
blinding spells are bugged and last forever).
This skill is a bit bugged though in that sometimes resistances are not
shown even
if the creature is weak , you have to do something else like cast withering
curse on them
before their resistances are shown.
There is a general guide to resistances I shall explain briefly:
#1 Undead (say zombies corpses etc) are :
Vulnerable
to fire and lightining
Resistant to :
Spritual damage
poison
#2 Living stuff , creatures humans etc vulnerable to poison , fire lighting
and spiritual
Vulnerable
to fire spiritual , poison and lightening

Comments
This is 100% useless in that there are no enemies that use invisibility I
have
yet encountered in this game enemies don't go invisble instead they use
blind
spells on YOU so you can't see them AND they can still attack you. In
divinity
it being a penalty of invisibility that you can't attack while invisble.

Comments
If you don't want an enemy to see you use something that makes you invisible
although you can't attack them you can evade them or do something such as
release death scorpions. Also that using hand to hand is so much faster than
blinding enemies since blinding is a temporary state , death is semi
permanent
(in divinity). Its less useful if you use hand to hand since you have to go
right next
to them and attack which unless you have level 5 in this skill they can
still see
you, If you are hit by an arrow and can't see where it came from you can
still feel
it in yer back can't you and as such enemies will approach the direction the
attack came from.

Comments
Bit iffy this one in that you have to get hit to have the poison effect on
the enemy
and such effects are limited to few enemies zombies and other super natural
enemies
won't flinch at this.Also that the idea in combat is NOT to get hit (ie
stick points onto
agility).
This is also worthless for sniper types who choose bows since they just
don't get into
hand to hand combat much and the need to constantly recharge is a pain.

a skull appear above you and curses an enemy.
Usefulness 3/10
Comments :
Not too useful as mages who face you will attest to , since it takes a while
to cast this
spell and its so much quicker to use something much much more lethal say
lightening
elemental strike etc than to wither them then use another spell on them when
in that
time period you could have used two spells.

Effect : Animal statuette effect but using the body of a slain enemy which
cannot attack anything
Usefulness 1/10
Comments:
Rather dubious again in that you can get statuettes for 3000 gold in this
game
which use no Mana , weigh nothing and can be used repeatedly (at the cost of
100% stamina). Also your body does not go inert this just morphs you into
the
shape of the corpse. And you are not dragged back to your body , you just
change
back there and then.
Alternatives
Animal statuettes
Spider being most useful since many enemies consider the spider to be an
ally and will not
attack the spider form , however allies to your normal human form will
attack it.

Gives you longer sight range which is useful for archers and for exploration
, this can be
stacked with items which increase sight items which are often named watcher
this and
that.I would note that if you want to increase your sight you should choose
elven sight instead
as ranger sight +1 to your current sight Level while elven sight +3 each
time meaning it is
x3 as effective as this skill (btw you ought to download the 1.0034 patch
since the sight
stacking abilities are real messed up in that such that you can end up with

that the only way to restore it is to use +1 on this or another sight

Comments pretty useful if you ask me but it broadly depends upon your style
of play
if you are a sneaky invisible everywhere type who uses scorpions on
everything in sight
this does NOT matter since nobody will target you anyway.While if you are a
jump in
sword swinging type or an archer then this will matter as folks try their
spells on you.
Against normal enemies its rather pointless but when against mages , and
demons
and other nasty supernatural things it starts to get useful , though perhaps
its too
low in how much it adds to your resistances. I was way in the 125s for each
resistance
before I even got to the end of the game via charms.

Best used on conjurers and other things that can summon stuff , you can

for
you. You have to do this on some of the things YOU summon to get them to
follow
you else they just stand around if there are no enemies requiring a
re-summon
= more Mana used.
I'd also note that resurrected creatures who kill stuff DO NOT give you
experience
even though they are allied to you so in effect they can end up stealing
your
experience points if you use this alot.

Effect : makes a sparkly swirl which drops an item (usually gold or healing

usefulness : 5/10
Comments:
Again this is dependent upon your play style its usage diminishes however in
that there is
tons of gold in the game anyway. I would also note that the Mana usage is a
bit misleading
in that quite often you will get potions that restore your Mana = free usage
of this skill.
This skill partners extremely well with one Level in alchemy because more
often than not
you get healing and magic potions , so that you can combine them to form
restoration potions
which are much much better than the individual sum of their effects.
I'd take note though that you can spend ALL day using this skill and not get
what you want
it uses some random factor to decide what you get which I don't know what it
is based upon
(CPU temp? )and sometimes you get a very good streak (I once got 3 golden
charms in a row)
so you have to spend a while to get what you want. Also because of its semi
free nature it
means that there is little need to use a bed , use it , combine the healing
and magic
potions you inevitably get and use the potion , no need to sleep.I would
also say that if you
have this skill gold is no longer a problem. There is no need to go back and
forth to Geoff or
another merchant , you can just cast it over and over and over , using the
magic potions it
creates to restore your Mana and to sell the potions you don't need.
I would also say that what I got can vary it might have something to do with
your current level
also since when using it at level 57 I used to get lots of good stuff even
with just one level
on this skill.

Comments
Health comes back for free its ok but only if you have all the time in the
world think
about it to use a restoration potion takes what 0.3 seconds with 1000 hit
points you
get 400 hit points back. Imagine if you had 2 health and had 5 points on
this skill
it'd take 1000 seconds for you to heal back to 1000 health points or there
abouts.
600 seconds is 10 minutes so you'd have to stand there for just over 15
minutes.
Which for me is terribly boring since in those 15 minutes you could have run
to a
bed teleported to a bed / shop and used a potion just to save 100 or so
gold? or
heck just used restoration spell instead. Much more time and skill point
effective
if you ask me to go to the bed buy a potion or even mix some potions
yourself , the
gold saved is insignificant since there is well over 400K of gold in this
game just
via normal means. Via resurect kill method you can get too much gold none of
the merchants in the game ever have any gold left.

Coments
Since you can find some pretty nasty stuff in game morning stars etc which
already do
120 damage , getting 50 - 90% ontop of this for 180 damage or 220 damage at
max Levels
is quite alot and if you connect , you can kill most things in rivertown
with one or two hits.
Maces also have the advantage that they are one handed weapons so you can
use this
with shield expertise and or use the charms on the shield you hold.
An interesting fact to note is that maces are not limited in damage by the
damage
values on the status windows since this is a hand to hand weapon your
strength
also counts towards the damage factors that are applied. If you want to do
some
serious damage get a mace even a poor quality low damage one drink 4-5 super
strength potions and that mace can do max 30 damage can do well in excess of
600 points of damage per hit.

Pretty much the same as sword in mainly reducing time to swing this weapon ,
though
you can find some obsenely damaging axe in the game from the executioner in
the cellar
of stormfist castle for example .Or perhaps on of the axes on the slasher
axe quest.Lots
of axes lots of choice , however a major disadvantage of this is that the
bigger axes are
two handed weapons meaning you can't carry a shield.Which means that charms
on
shields do not give benefit and nor do any modifiers attached to them and
that you don't
get the 30 odd chance of absorbing damage.
Axes are not limited in damage by the damage values on the status windows
since this is a hand to hand weapon your strength also counts towards the
damage factors
that are applied. If you want to do some serious damage get an axe even
a hand axe drink 4-5 super strength potions and watch the axe no matter
what
kind do that do max 30 damage can do well in excess of 600 points of damage
per hit.

though
hammers seem rare in divinity and even then don't come in too many flavours,
I'd note
that hammers require two hands so that if you use this you lose shield

Hammers are a hand to hand weapon and the damage inflicted is affected by
strength
such that boosting your strength via bless / potions or leveling up can
increase the
damage if not the speed of this weapon a significant amount.

Not a bad skill marred by the fact that there aren't particularly many
spears in the
game so you choice is limited and that you can use it as a long ranged
weapon
unlike bows or crossbows which negate your shield bonuses. Though sometimes
I've lost the spear on enemies , the spear although it doesn't tell you of
this fact
returns to your hand. Also any weapon bonuses are NOT applied when throwing
spear say if you have 3 frost throwing your spear will NOT apply this bonus.
However
to throw the spear you must have a spear as your active skill.
I'd recommend a bow over this with hot keys to change from a close hand to
hand
weapon to the bow since bows can do well over 150 damage as standard and
fire
pretty darned quickly as compared to the slow spear throwing.
Spears in hand to hand mode damage can be affected by your strength so that
if you
drink plenty of super strength before combat you can do some serious damage
well
inexcess of the max damage rating for the spear.

Highly useful if you can find a partner bow to go with this , with weakbows
such as
short bows its not that useful but with lethal or razor sharp long bows it
gets very
nice ie you can do 100 damage per second or more if you can find the bow.
The
nastiest bow I've ever had did 189 damage , partnered with the elven skill
of true shot
it is great and can avoid lots of hand to hand combat.
However a serious weakness of bows is that the damage is largely fixed ie
unless you partner this with the ranger skill true shot or some other bow
skill
the damage max is what you get. Ie a bow with a damage rating of 29-149
will not do more than 149 damage. While a sword with boosted sword expertise
and strength increases can do well in excess of the rated figures when you
put the cursor over the sword , your choice. This can be augmented by
finding
a fast bow which is relatively easy.

This is somewhat useless to certain characters such as large axe wielding ,
two
handed sword / hammer users. Since those require both hands you can't carry
a shield.Its rather more effective to boost the power of your combat weapon
by
choosing another specialised skill since the damage potency is just 66 max
1/4 times , wheras a good sword and +5 on your other primary weapon skill
can average at 100-200 per hit EACH time.

Not too sure on this skill since hit chance seems dependent on many things
ie its easier
to hit non moving targets , and targets moving directly towards you than
across your path
and also clustered targets.I found that +2 or 3 Levels to this skill made me
hit more often
sometimes and miss as much other times.

A good skill at last , unfortunately the damage done by this weapon bears
little resemblance
to the bow you are using so you can use this with a short bow and still do
masses of damage
the best way to use this skill is up close and personal sort of. If you use
this skill on enemies
just after the splitting point of the arrows the enemy can be hit by all of
the split arrows.
On things like imps you can do upwards of 400 damage on them in one go ,
unfortunately
this is a slow skill and requires a recovery of about 25 , when with skills
put towards bows
you can get high damage (169+) at high speed.Since its better to kill an
enemy than
hurt it I'd personally prefer that since an enemy with 1% health left can
still do 100% of
its damage potential.While a dead enemy can do you 0% damage.
Anyway if you want to hurt a group of enemies and seriously go for explosive
arrows which
gives a nasty shockwave and can damage multiple enemies all the same.

Makes arrows poisonous which is the only way you can make them poisonous
since the poison damage skill only works on close combat weapons and not
arrows. Against enemies such as lizards and beasties its alright then it
gets much
less useful as time goes on especially against undead bosses etc since they
are
less affected by poison than anything else.

I'd recommend this against all of the other types except maybe explosive
arrow damage
since it is effective against everything that you can face , if you get a
good random spread
since arrows are pretty deadly anyway this makes them more so. Against
normal enemies
who have normal vulnerabilities it makes them extra deadly but against
resistant enemies
it gives a chance of giving a random shot to their most vulnerable bit.
Spiritual damage is applied AFTER your initial damage applied so if you kill
an enemy on
the first hit no spiritual damage will be applied , why would it be if they
are dead?.

Not too useful in that there aren't exactly that many enemies in this game
that use
arrows or bolts or stuff fired from bows and the damage they do isn't
exactly life threatening
unless you are at a very low Level. But if you are at a low Level you won't
have the
Levels to build up this skill and therefore this skill is useless in that by
the time
you get to the Levels to reduce the damage arrows are not a problem if you
have
around 80-130 agility. And on that note agility is much much more worthy in
that
agility also increases your offence and defence so much by about Level 40ish
stuff that
hits you like thug bolts which make this obvious do no damage anyway.
if you are REALLY afraid of arrows run each time one is fired he'll probably
miss
you.
Not that I'd recommend reflect missiles but I'd recommend that skill over
this one.

This is a fascimilie of what dragon/lizard fanatics use ,its alright and
does spread damage
which is ok but even at maximum Level just doesn't do enough damage compared
to how
much it costs in skill points and 1 Mana per 'arrow'. Since you can already
find bows from
Geoff which can do 100 damage and some which do 150 damage and some rarer
bows which
can do 169 damage bows are pretty awesome already explosive arrows or not.
Though this is dependent on the enemy and his/her resistances since this
inflicts fire damage
so that using it on something with high fire resistance will do squat.Much
like when you get
your own high fire resistance and or defence / agility fanatic bombs from
lizards and dragons
rarely if ever hurt you (say 100+ on fire resistance).

Just one Level of this is enough as it will repair up to 60% of the item
durability
anything more is rather dubious value since items only need 1 on the
durability
scale to be able to be used and multiple repairs won't break items as in
other
RPGs. Of which the only one I can recall where self repair could ruin items
was
Ultima Underworld which was years ago. You can also repair stuff that is
equipped
click to use this skill for a hammer and anvil to appear then click on the
equipped
item in the equipment list or inventory.
This will save you a ton of gold since for good items it can cost upwards of
4000
gold to repair them and also you might not exactly have the opportunity to
pop
out to geoff's place to get repairs done in the middle of the dark
forest.Though
teleporters and many traders will repair things for you. I'd note if you
want more
gold for your wares repair it first then sell it , cost you an insignificant
amount
of mana for the extra gold.

Semi useful semi not in that it only boosts what armour you have so that
if you find a great set then you get a bonus ontop of that reducing the
damage
that is done to you. The problem is that you have to be a user of armour and
that later on at high agility levels your defence becomes so high that you
almost
never get hit which makes this ability moot. Better to avoid a bullet than
to take
less damage from it eh?

Not too useful since at high agility levels you rarely get hit and for
25% damage to be significant you have to let something nasty hit
you say do 1000 damage to you to get a 25% chance of 250 damage.
Which isn't really worth it in my mind. I would also note that the chance
is a bit too low maybe my CPU was having a bad day but I stood about
all day getting hit and the enemy who was doing the hitting did not
take any damage.

Add charms to weapons in the 1.0034 patch you can only apply as many charms
as the weapon has slots. Which can boost your abilities a bit , so that to
gain
health / Mana etc you don't need to have bonus points awarded when going up
levels. This is particularly useful for warriors and mages , in that mages
get less
health per bonus point added to constitution and warriors get less Mana on
each point added to the intelligence value. While adding charms say a gold
charm that gives a very large Mana bonus gives +100 magic to a warrior and
a mage.This can save an awful lot of levelling up though it seems to take
ages
to find things that will accept lots of charms (4-5).
However I'd not be putting gold or silver charms on items you don't want to
keep
and to keep a stash of gold charms for the final set of equipment that you
will
use.
An excellent way to find charms is to use the resurrect kill resurrect kill
trick
as described in the resurrect skill since you get a ton of charms and quite
often
a ton of equipment that can use such charms. So many gold charms that you
can afford to waste them on items you'll probably throw away. Though adding
of charms does boost the weapon bonuses this is not reflected in the selling
price of the equipment as it stays pretty much the same.

Sort of like starwars Jedi Knight II expansion pack where you throw your
light sabre
but with the weapon currently in your hand , your weapon is thrown and does
the%
damage of your weapon in hand to hand. Though I'll note that any bonuses
such as
frost are NOT applied to the target ,. which makes this skill more of a long
range weapon
easily replicated by usage of a bow (which will probably do more damage).
This skill can be gotten free by doing the quests for the warriors guild ,
guild master
who will teach it to you after the second quest,
I would also note you can throw you weapon as far as you can see even beyond
enemies sight range though they will come towards the direction they were
hit
from.I mean if somebody threw a rock onto the back of your head you'd turn
round wouldn't you?.
Also there is a huge danger to this skill in that if you throw it a long way
away
and miss because you don't apply any damage and you have to wait for it to
return.During which you are completely prone and frozen in the cast
spell/magic
pose , as any beat em up player will tell you such recovery time is
dangerous.
This skill can be a substitute for spear expertise and is probably better
than that
since you can throw anything handy rather than just spears.
As with bows the weakness of this weapon is in dense forest since the weapon
returns
on the first thing it hits be it a tree a building or another enemy that
gets in the way.

bit dubious as to its worth in that you can only use this on things you can
see , and if you can see them why not walk up to them and do it the normal
way ie hand to hand , the only real bonus of this is when you have extreme
sight range. Such that you can hit enemies far far away , though this also
relies upon the requirement to have a high damage rating otherwise a bow
does just as well. So its like hand to hand but the enemy can't hit you back
ie a bow. But then its pretty much identical to boomerang but boomerang
is probably better.

This is more like it in that 100% of the time per hit (close combat only)
you apply
spiritual damage (makes a washing sound) which can boost weapons by a great
deal especially against normal mortal enemies. Though it requires quite a
high level
to be used to the max I reckon this is worth more than lightening / fire or
poison
cus of the 100% hit effect. Combined with fire lightening , poison and stun
everything
except for bosses which have resistances to everything most of the time ,
hand to hand
combat becomes incredibly easy.
Spiritual damage is applied AFTER your initial damage applied so if you kill
an enemy on
the first hit no spiritual damage will be applied , why would it be if they
are dead?.

Not too useful in that as with evade arrows, arrows do not form that much
used against you anyway and that arrows don't tend to do much damage
(unless you annoy an elf), also that it requires far too high a level for it
to
be used at maximum ability since by that time nobody uses arrows against
you. When you get to around level 40 most enemies use hand to hand or
blow guns. Though it is interesting to watch things fly back though if they
move the missile will probably miss.
And when this skill says missiles it means things like meteors , axes ,
knives arrows , bolts etc things that explode when they hit you or near
abouts you are NOT reflected.

The usefulness of this depends on how your random number generator in the
CPU is
feeling , at max levels you sometimes barely ever get it at all sometimes it
happens
over and over again so that you can kill the toughest of enemies easily.
Does not work
for ranged weapons only hand to hand close combat!. A better idea would be
to find a
weapon in game that does deathblow which I usually find many. I am pretty
sure this
is NOT a cumulative skill in that if you have deathblow as a skill and have
a weapon
with this attached as a bonus you don't have a 10% chance of deathblow.

Of dubious usage again except for certain situations when you have very very
long eye sight and very strong hand to hand ability so you can warp in and
kill
them before they can use their more damaging attacks. Such situations
include
Mutated toads (before they cast the bugged blind spell on you that lasts
forever)
Lizard/Dragon fanatics (they hand to hand is weaker than long range)
Steel archers
Conjurers
Shaman
This partners extremely well with weapons with the frost bonus attached to
them
since if you don't kill the enemy within the first 2 blows you don't have to
worry
excessively about retaliation.

Effect - as above causes spikes which pulsate 3 times (hence the damage
factor) to appear out of the ground , upgrades to this skill cause a bigger
spike cluster to appear.
Usefulness 7/10
Comments
This is a non targeted spell so hostiles who walk across the spikes suffer
damage
, the problem is though at levels 1 and 2 you have to cast it just before an
enemy
walks over the patch of ground (unless they are still) to get x3 damage.
Since
with the small spike patch they might walk off that patch and only get one
or two
hits. This matters less when at higher levels since the patch is pretty big
, though
mana vs damage I reckon anything above level 3 in this skill is wasted on
single
enemies since the patch is so large the enemy misses most of it and you can
cast
level 3 2.5 times for the mana cost of a level 5 strike.
However level 3+ has is uses ever been surrounded ? not a warrior so what do
you
do? , you cast it right at your feet, the Spikes cannot harm you or your
allies
and at level 4 or 5 cover an area just smaller than the warrior's swirl.
Such that
it works a treat as a swirl attack substitute .Coupled with the very high
damage
at high levels and that it hits 3 times AND that it is a physical attack
much like
a hand held weapon (and not subject to resistances) its great.I would also
add
that each spike can hit more than one enemy so that if a bunch are standing
in a
tight spot cast this spell and there is a good chance it will hurt
everything in that
spot.
This also being a non specific target spell means that if you are invisible
through
whatever means (other than blinding your enemy) you are not revealed. And
that
this spell can be cast repeatedly and quickly also , I'd also note that
when starting
out this is fairly useful in that when starting your offence level is so
poor that you
miss more often than you hit , while this gives a good hit chance.Along with
that
it allows you to keep your distance!.

This has very limited use , I can think of 3 occasions you might want to use
it ,
ie for levers behind locked gates (not common) , for items stuck inside
walls
and for the restoration spell book in the Rivertown market sewers.
This can also be used in place of lock pick in 'some' areas such as the
vampire
in Rivertown you can use telekinesis (level 3) to pull the lever to open the
gate
rather than having lock pick 2 to open the gate. Also to steal from shop
keepers
in Rivertown market who kick you out of their back rooms.
Though to get the restoration book you can alternatively use teleporter
stone
throwing trick or if you get something stuck inside a wall , find a piece of
kit
which gives this bonus rather than wasting your skills on this since it has
verra
limited usage.
However the throw teleporter stone everywhere trick has been fixed in the
1.0034
patch so that you can't throw the stones everywhere like bits of land which
are
above or below your current level of land say the dwarven forest.

Comments
This is the swirl attack but using magic instead of hand to hand , which is
useful
if you are not a warrior and get swamped with enemies which can easily
happen
sometimes (esp with conjurers).Though as a warrior you have a perfectly good
mana free (but stamina cost which is essentially free) alternative which can
do more
damage with the correct weapons.
An important thing to note is that the discs are NOT indestructible when I
say this
I mean that when you cast this spell with no enemies around they swirl all
the way
to the edge of the screen.However when used on enemies they break after
inflicting
a certain (at least 300 or so) damage and vanish. Such that when in a big
crowd it
might not have the desired effect or killing or severely hurting enemies
around you
just the ones closest to you.

Summons 5 steel skeletons in a wall to fight for you , more as a blocking
force than anything
since they can inflict only tiny amounts of damage , just so you can get
away even at high levels
they are pretty mediocre and if you want them to follow you , you need aura
of command.
Beware though don't try to use them against things like death/dread knights
/ Liches / Imp mages
/imp summoners as the lightening attack kills them real quick.
The bonus rating is +5 per level one skeleton gets at level 2 it gets +10
towards one of its resistances
and so on which is pretty insignificant. If you want this then you will have
to invest a ton of skill points
into the skills that go with this , namely master summoner (for extra levels
for a bit more attack, armour
defence and hit points) , and transfer powers , for transfer powers you also
need to be pretty beefy for
it to gave a major effect.

A highly useful skill early on since it gives you time to escape or kill the
enemy without
chance of retaliation , for the period that they are frozen for. This is a
much better alternative
to energy cage since this can be learnt relatively early and does damage as
well as
preventing the enemy from moving/retaliating. This skill is sometimes bugged
though
in that enemies while frozen will still attack moving as an ice sculpture.
However if
you want to freeze everything easily just find a weapon with the frost bonus
on it ,
though this just freezes the enemy on striking them and does not do freeze
damage
like the spell.
There is something reminiscent of SNES rival turf in this though in that you
can freeze an enemy with low hit points and wait for him to thaw. They'll
thaw and stay alive for
a second or two then realise they are dead. Much like SNES rival turf if you
beat up
an enemy enough they'd fall over with 0 hit points they'd get up and realise
they were
dead.

This is what mutated spiders and imp mages use on you , fires slow
projectiles that can be
outrun and resisted with high resistance levels , Its usefulness is
undermined by the high
levels required to get this sort of damage since enemies start getting
resistances which
really reduces the effectiveness of this spell.
Due to the slow speed of casting and damaging the enemy one of the other
elemental powers
is better than this skill , though this in itself is slightly better than
meteor and lightening alone
since you get both types of damage and don't need to spend double the skill
points for situations
when an enemy is resistant to a particular power. Nor do you need to switch
powers for such an
event where an enemy is resistant.

Comments
This is exactly what dark corpses and dark zombies as well as the Stormfist
castle
guardian uses , casts a big cloud which lingers longer as levels increase
its useful early
on against weak enemies but once resistances come into play then it loses
its usefulness.
However against vulnerable enemies it can slow them down a little so you can
make your
escape.This can be replicated by using poison items , ie find a barrel of
poison , open it
stick it in your inventory , when you see something nasty open your
inventory and
throw it out. Ditto with poison flasks. You can also kill friendlies with
this without them
turning hostile use this spell where they stand say Geoff or Tingalf and
cast away.
They get seriously hurt by this spell and nobody blames you at all for them
dying
however such characters ought to be kept alive since they give zip
experience
and are more useful selling you stuff.

This power is SUPPOSED to make the rats the only things enemies focus on
inreality
the distract some enemies while some still attack you , since the rats do no
damage
it can be assumed this is something to distract while you run away. Summon
skeletal
wall is MUCH more effective for this so is going invisible since the rats
even at level 5 are
weak and last seconds in a crowded melee if that.If you keep summoning when
you have
already summoned the maximum number of rats a rat that was previously
summoned
dies.You also need to use aura of command if you want rats to follow you
around
which is equally worthless.
Alternatives:
if you want a summoning power summon skeletons instead the steel variety at
least
they can fight back , costs more mana though.

Comments
A skill you can get real quick by the level requirements of this skill ,
though this is more of a
skill to be used then you run away rather than being used as an attacking
force which
scorpions and death knights might be considered to be.Since the skeletons
although
very cheap to summon are weak , do very little damage and last a very short
time in battle.
To get the to follow you as a posse you must use aura of command on each
skeleton ,
recasting above your limit kills the most recently summoned skeleton
outright.

receive 20 hit points from
the enemy , then 12 etc .As opposed to 30% each and every time of their max
health.
Usefulness 5/10
Comments
This skill is best used at the start of combat since the enemy has most
health , this also works
on summoned stuff and if you don't have restoration you can heal yourself
using conjurers
by draining what they summon. This skill is NOT a lethal skill in that you
can keep draining and
draining the enemy but they will be left with 1 hit point left since
Divinity does not allow fractions
Though restoration is much better if you ask me guaranteed return but no
damage applied.
of health points you can drain them no more and have to kill them via other
means.

If you use summons a great deal then this is for you , however if you don't
this is
worthless , however considering that the stuff you can summon is pretty weak
and
still weak with this at max level summoning is a bit of an iffy path to
take. Especially
when there are much better skills and creatures you can use to aid you in
combat
death scorpions for example.

Kills summoned creatures , ie a cheapo way to 'send' them back where they
came from , though if I were you I'd probably just aura of command them .
You can get this skill free from Corenna the summoner , and more often than
not it is a bonus skill attached to the dragon armour set .The problem with
this
is that killing via hand to hand is so much faster than flicking via spells
,
unless you are a mage. Also in combat summoners should be killed first
to prevent them summoning more stuff to attack you rather than focusing
your attention on the summoned creatures themselves. Don't be shy summoners
and conjurers are NOT like pain elementals from Doom II they do not release
enemies when they die.

Usefulness 8/10
Comments
There is NO need to use this in the entire game , except for monster
harvesting
combined with wisdom can help you push the level of your character to 53+
(the most I even got in game was 53).Here is what you do , kill an enemy
resurrect him , walk about 10 screens away , then go back he'll be hostile
again so you can kill him again for experience again and again. Best used
with a circuit say the dark forest just north of the talking tree. The Dark
Zombies
there provide 5K experience at level 40ish so its good hunting , you can set
up a
circuit of kill / resurrect and keep going round and round to get more and
more
levels.
A better trick though is to use it early , kill the orcs with death
scorpions or something
then resurrect them , use aura of command to lead them nearby the orc
teleporter,
teleport out , go back , release scorpions , lather rinse repeat. Doing this
I got to level
30 within 2 hours of getting out of Aleroth.
Of course you need level 16 for one level (and one only!) of resurrect ,
however you
might be able to get it earlier by finding or buying a piece of equipment
which has
this spell as a bonus.
Possible the BEST place to do this is as a warrior (mages and survivors will
struggle) , is to get captain Mitox's missions explosives or poison doesn't
matter. Activate the teleporter in the destroyed village , then use a shadow
potion to get into the cheif orc's hut , kill him get the scroll and run
towards
the teleporter , activate and teleport out. now go an activate the
teleporter
outside Ars Magicana. Find a powerful weapon preferably one with life drain
on it , there is usually an expensive one in the armour shop in Rivertown
market
just above Elrath's house.Teleport to the destroyed village , now run around
leading
enemies in circles until you can get a fair number of orcs (40-60 is
possible)
now get surrounded , just take the beating you get , and use the swirl
attack
which with a drain modifier on it will give you back the health. Now kill
the stragglers
and resurrect them.
Resurrect them all and teleport to Ars magicana for healing and to get back
stamina.
Teleport back and they will be hostile again kill and repeat , until you get
to around l
evel 20 then you can do the same thing with the orc teleporter.Leading the
(tough)
elite orcs and orc chiefs to nearby the teleporter , if you spend a couple
hours at this
you can gain levels incredibly quick. Just put a level on Alchemy and mix
the healing
and magic potions often and it almost pays for itself in terms of mana.
The elite orcs are the best as they give consistently good experience
(5000+)
all the way up to level 43 .If you have trouble dealing with so many orcs
try
to get the magical lock picks for increased agility. Also orcs are pretty
vulnerable
to any damage bonus you attach to your weapons so look for spiritual /
lightning
etc to apply more damage.
Once you get the levels for wisdom add them on along with augment damage
and spiritual damage since this will help you clean out enemies in no time
and up to level 28 you can get 1 level per visit. Then onwards from that
you can get once every 4 or 5 visits then more visits are required , though
you will end up with a TON of treasure and a TON of Gold charms. Since
the Elite orcs around the Orc village often drop gold charms since you kill
them and they drop treasure each time you can make a packet. You want
to teleport regularly to Ars Magicana to sell off the excess stuff , since
each
trip can net at least 5000 gold per trip so much that Geoff keeps running
out
of gold!.
Though resurrect is bugged in that when you go back the enemies that you
bought back to life have their original stats.
Though this requires an enormous amount of mana you can just find something
which can take a few charms and put on one of the gold charms for mana
bonus. It doesn't matter using this technique you get so many gold charms.
Just remember every 5 or so levels you get not to resurrect things that
don't
give you experience anymore , say giant orcs don't give you any experience
at level 30.
Also if you struggle to take them out you can always trap the entire area
after you resurrect the enemies , trap the area with trail bombs (NOT
scorps)
teleport back in if you placed them correctly enemies will be caught in the
blast and be severely hurt. Just remember to place them with care or
YOU WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE BLAST.
If you want to be cheaper , find a drain sword and a life leech sword and
alternate when you are hurt use the life leech sword when you are low
on mana use the drain sword. just remember to keep lots of restoration
potions handy. I managed to lure well over 100 orcs to the orc teleporter
costing me around 2000 odd mana per trip which did pay for itself though.
Just remember NOT to leave dead bodies lying around since they vanish
and NOT to sleep since they sometimes vanish , you can heal and get
mana back by the potions they drop and sell the stuff the drop to buy
more potions.
A final word is that using this technique will see experience bombs quite
frequently such that a rare event becomes common in these circumstances.
Lets say you get an exp bomb every 100 kills that’s one each time you
teleport in.
I would note that for non warriors there are alternatives:
Deathly discs, this however is not a patch upon the warrior swirl attack
in that the swirl attack does damage to all around him (even if his sword
breaks during the swirl which is invariably will if you get a big enough
crowd).While deathly discs break (even at max levels) after only inflicting
a few hundred points of damage.
Hell spikes is also a good alternative for the swirl attack , though as
these
two powers are magical attacks it drains your mana much much more than
the warrior and the swirl attack. This is compensated though by the fact
that
warriors do not have as much mana as survivors or mages with the same
intelligence points.

Usefulness 5/10 early on and for weak mages 2/10 for powerful non mages
Comment
Only really useful early on when its 50ish damage rating can do some harm
while later on relegated to a delaying ability since it can't hurt enemies
enough.
I'd note it acts much like a death knight in that it does hand to hand and
casts
lightning spells against enemies. You need aura of command if you want it to
follow
you.Later on when you become a beefy warrior (which nearly everybody does
even when I play a mage since mana always runs out) , it becomes less useful
since you can deal out a ton of damage anyway. Though as said before its
distractional abilities might be your cup of tea , note that even with
master
summoner and other summoning bonus skills it does not become significantly
more powerful.

This can be learnt for free when you meet a dragon , though as a ghost
enemies will ignore you completely. There are however some disadvantages
in that your sight range is very very short almost as poor as you start the
game with if not worse. You lose 100% of your stamina when you use this
so be wary of this.
More than one level of this is a waste though since the marsh that instantly
kills you in the land of the dead might seem massive but it isn’t. If you
use
fade from sight and walk across you can get within 1 screen of the black
ring island with the fort entrance on it. You can even try this nifty trick
throw a teleporter stone when you get right to the edge of the death
marsh , you can just about get it onto the end of the jetty.

Summons a giant floating eye which is controlled independently while your
body
stays where it is.
Usefulness 2.5/10
Comments
What a cheapo skill it uses the same sprite (enlarged) of the eye of the
Cyclops,
its usefulness is hampered by one major flaw in this in that the eye that is
generated
cannot see into areas that you have never been before so that those areas
remain black
and you can't know what is in them. If it did see into the shroud it'd score
much better
but if you've been there and cleaned out the area its pretty useless.

Doesn't do what it says on the tin just slows enemies down for a while so
that they
can still walk and attack and stuff but just not as fast. And only enemies
on the screen
so that if somebody wanders in from the side of the screen they are NOT
affected.
Choose something more lethal instead.

Effect Causes a lightning bolt to hit an enemy and bounce off as many
enemies
as there are on screen. Would be terribly useful for the resurrect trick
except that
you can't do that in the land of the dead since resurrected (imps at least)
give
poor experience and do not turn hostile.
Usefulness 0/10
Comments
By the time you can use this skill everything you will face is resistant to
lightning
attacks so therefore this skill is completely useless , it'd be great in
crowds earlier
on though.
