| Also note that, in battle, mages **may only expend as many gems at once as their level in that path**. For example, ??Earthquake?? is a {{path>E4}} spell that costs {{gems>3E}}. An ??Oracle of the Ancients?? may have {{path>E4}} (four levels as an earth mage), in which case they can cast the spell, possibly spending the maximum {{gems>4E}} to reduce the Fatigue they accrue. If the Oracle has only {{path>E3}}, however, they cannot cast the spell; they may only spend {{gems>3E}} at once, so they cannot spend a fourth earth gem to close the level gap. | Also note that, in battle, mages **may only expend as many gems at once as their level in that path**.

| | ==== Scales (for Combat Magic) ==== |
| | |
| | {{:misc:scales:magic.png?nolink }}{{ :misc:scales:drain.png?nolink}} Combat Magic is **easier to cast** in a land whose [[Scales]] are tipped towards Magic. Each "point" of Magic decreases the **Fatigue** cost for spells by an additive 10%. Likewise, a land tipped towards Drain increases the Fatigue cost by an additive 10% per point. |
| | |
| | Magic and Drain Scales also have an effect on Magic Resistance, albeit a small one. A point of Magic **decreases** Magic Resistance by half a point (rounded down), so {{scales>M2}} and {{scales>M3}} lower Magic Resistance by 1, while {{:misc:scales:magic.png?15&nolink}}4 and {{:misc:scales:magic.png?15&nolink}}5 lower Magic Resistance by 2. Likewise, Drain does the opposite; {{scales>D2}} and {{scales>D3}} raise Magic Resistance by 1, while {{:misc:scales:drain.png?15&nolink}}4 and {{:misc:scales:drain.png?15&nolink}}5 raise Magic Resistance by 2. |
| =====Casting Rituals===== | =====Casting Rituals===== |
| **Rituals** are different from spells in combat. Cast on the strategic map, they are elaborate (for the mages) and time-consuming, taking an entire turn and requiring one or more [[gems]]. They also have to be cast at a [[Laboratory]]. | **Rituals** are different from spells in combat.
