| ===== Magic ===== | ===== Magic ===== |
| |
| ==== National Spells ==== | ==== Magic Access ==== |
| |
| ***??Holy Pyre??:** Evocation 4 {{path>F2}}. A situational side-grade to ??Falling Fires?? that lets some of your weaker Mages deal a lot of damage to Undead and Demons. It's also a decent alternative to ??Fireball?? in that it **isn't** a missile spell and thus has a much higher likelihood of hitting the enemy. | At a glance, LA Marignon has access to the following paths for rituals and forging: |
| |
| ***??Contact Harbinger??:** Conj 6 {{gems>25S}} {{path>S4}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??x1): LA Marginon does not get enough Astral to summon //any// of the Angels watching it, so consider [[Empowerment]] or design your [[Pretender]] with this in mind. As an {{path>A3H2}} Angel, the Harbinger is a strong and useful thug that can be wherever you need it to be. | **Elemental** |
| | * {{path>F3}} on Goetic Masters |
| | * {{path>A2}} on Royal Navigators |
| | * {{path>W2}} on Royal Navigators, {{path>W7}} via ??Water Bracelet??, ??Robe of the Sea??, ??Sea King's Court?? and [[elemental royalty#queens-of-elemental-water | Queen of Elemental Water]] |
| | * {{path>E1}} on Goetic Adepts and Masters |
| |
| ***??Bind Harlequin??:** Blood 1 {{gems>1B}} {{path>B1}} (summon {{:nations:la:marignon:Demon_jester.png?nolink}} ??Demon Jester??x1): Gives you a "Morale-booster" for your Demons, who could also be used to counteract the -1 Morale penalty for having living and undead/demonic things in the same squad (if you somehow need to do that). Marignon has out-of-the-box ??Devil?? summoners that the Jester can keep up with, but these Devils are generally better off in their own squad anyway. | **Sorceries** |
| | * {{path>S2}} on Royal Navigators, {{path>S3}} via ??Starshine Skullcap?? |
| | * No reliable {{misc:magic:nature.png?14&nolink}}nature access. 20% chance on Plague Doctors |
| | * No recruitable {{misc:magic:death.png?14&nolink}}death access |
| | * {{path>B3}} on Goetic Masters, realistically as much blood as required via [[empowering]] and boosters. |
| |
| ***??Heavenly Wrath??:** Conj 7 {{gems>35S}} {{path>S3F1}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_fury.png?nolink}} ??Angel of Fury??x1): This one is certainly the easiest Angel for LA Marignon to summon, but it requires an ultra-rare {{path>S2}} Goetic Master and the ??Starshine Skullcap?? for native summoning, and you don't even get Magic paths for your trouble. | In combat, all the elements can be brought into communions, though earth and fire communions require slave-expensive sabbaths. |
| |
| ***??Angelic Host??:** Conj 7 {{gems>50S}} {{path>S5}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:Arch_angel.png?nolink}} ??Arch Angel??x1 {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_the_Host.png?nolink}} ??Angel of the Host??x6): An {{path>F4H3}} Angel with a big flaming sword & a small entourage of smaller big-flaming-sword-users. | Due to the ease of blood empowerment, ??Reascendance?? is an accessible (though research-intensive) route into {{path>D3}}. |
| |
| ***??Heavenly Choir??:** Conj 9 {{gems>144S}} {{path>S7F2}} (summon {{:nations:ma:marignon:Seraph.png?nolink}} ??Seraph??x1 {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_the_Heavenly_Choir.png?nolink}} ??Angel of the Heavenly Choir??x9 {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??x3): An {{path>F4A4S4H4}} Angel with a large entourage of smaller angels that could be made more-useful with ??Divine Name??; the Harbingers are Harbingers, while the Angels of the Heavenly Choir can be made into excellent Commander-Priests. | ==== National Spells ==== |
| | |
| ***??Reascendance??:** Blood 7 {{gems>88B}} {{path>B4S1}} (summon {{:nations:la:marignon:Fallen_angel.png?nolink}} ??Fallen Angel??x1): An {{path>F3D3B3}} Arch Angel with a Fear Aura and a more-sinister sword, this summon does a great job at breaking you into Death. Its HP is a bit low for thugging, however, especially since it can be relatively-easily counter-thugged due to having no Natural Protection & two weaknesses. | |
| ==== Magic Access ==== | |
| | |
| Create communions with Blood cultists with Fire plus some Earth and astral, and Astral Navigators with their Air, Astral and Water. | |
| |
| The best path you can boost is blood making the 3 pure boosters to make a blood mage {{path>B6}} if you not just empower like normal. | **Combat** |
| | * Evocation 4 {{path>F2}}: **??Holy Pyre??**\\ A situational side-grade to ??Falling Fires?? that is somewhat difficult more difficult to cast with LA Marignon's mages than MA Marignon's. It is a decent alternative to ??Fireball?? in that it is **not** a missile spell, and thus has a much higher likelihood of hitting the enemy. |
| |
| Climbing waster with its too boosters makes a ??Royal Navigator?? {{path>W5}} for water queens. | **Rituals** |
| | * Conjuration 6 {{path>S4}} for {{gems>25S}}: **??Contact Harbinger??** ( {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??×1)\\ LA Marginon does not get enough Astral to summon //any// of the Angels watching it, meaning empowerment or [[pretender]] assistance is essentially required to access this. As an {{path>A3H2}} Angel, the Harbinger provides access to magic-phase thuggery and a mobile alternative to communions for casting high-air combat magic. |
| | * Conjuration 7 {{path>S3F1}} for {{gems>35S}}: **??Heavenly Wrath??** ( {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_fury.png?nolink}} ??Angel of Fury??×1)\\ A thug chassis that cannot bless itself. Comes with a potent anti-undead/demon weapon and decent combat stats, but is hindered by its lack of paths. |
| | * Conjuration 7 {{path>S5}} for {{gems>50S}}: **??Angelic Host??** ( {{:nations:ma:marignon:Arch_angel.png?nolink}} ??Arch Angel??×1 + {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_the_Host.png?nolink}} ??Angel of the Host??(unit)×6)\\ An {{path>F4H3}} Angel with a big flaming sword & a small entourage of smaller big-flaming-sword-users. |
| | * Conjuration 9 {{path>S7F2}} for {{gems>144S}}: **??Heavenly Choir??** ( {{:nations:ma:marignon:Seraph.png?nolink}} ??Seraph??×1 {{:nations:ma:marignon:angel_of_the_Heavenly_Choir.png?nolink}} + ??Angel of the Heavenly Choir??(unit)×9 + {{:nations:ma:marignon:Harbinger.png?nolink}} ??Harbinger??(unit)×3)\\ An {{path>F4A4S4H4}} Angel with a large entourage of smaller angels that could be made more-useful with ??Divine Name??; the Harbingers are the same as those summoned by ??Contact Harbinger??, while the Angels of the Heavenly Choir can be made into excellent commanders. |
| |
| To grow in Earth, Air, Nature, and Astral. You have to empower with the rare gems or build a pretender to forge boosters. Summoning ??Troll Shaman??s, ??Ivy King??s, ??Troll King??s, ??Harbinger??s and or ??Faery Queen??s for magic diversity. | * Blood 1 {{path>B1}} for {{gems>1B}}: **??Bind Harlequin??:** ( {{:nations:la:marignon:Demon_jester.png?nolink}} ??Demon Jester??×1)\\ A standard-bearing demon, though this quality is really only useful for demons as mixed undead and non-undead squads take a -1 morale penalty by default. Extremely cheap compared to the generic ??Devil??, but mage turn-intensive and a good deal weaker. |
| | * Blood 7 {{path>B4S1}} for {{gems>88B}}: **??Reascendance??** ( {{:nations:la:marignon:Fallen_angel.png?nolink}} ??Fallen Angel??×1)\\ An {{path>F3D3B3}} Arch Angel with a fear aura and a more-sinister sword, this summon is an excellent way to break into death. However, it is somewhat fragile for supercombatant duty, being both a magic being and a demon. |
| |
| ??Fallen Angel??s is a national way to break you into Death, and 1 of the 5 [[Arch Devils]] can help you climbed astral if not on pretender. | |

| ===National Discount Items=== | ===National Discount Items=== |
| Booth had gone up in price Significantly after Illwinter realized how busted and abusable the items actually are, At least for LA Marignon, that national Discount makes the item capable to be considered, at least more so than the even more ludicrous price other nations have to pay. | |
| |
| ***??Soul Contract??**: Construction 2 {{gems>72B4F}} {{path>B3F1}}. A situational way to spend your early Slaves. Conjures a devil every turn for as long as you keep the commander alive. \\ You have to make sure that paper stays in your possession for a long time to earn those slaves back instead of summoning 10 devils normally, or save it for vampires. Can be hard to keep due to a chance of being attacked by horrors and stealing that paper. | * Construction 2 {{path>B3F1}} for {{gems>72B4F}}: **??Soul Contract??**\\ A situational way to spend your early Slaves.

| | * Construction 4 {{path>B2}} for {{gems>32B}}: **??Lifelong Protection??**\\ Summons 2 ??Imp??s every round of each battle. Excellent for generating chaff and highly scale-able. Cancerous on ??Assassin??s. |
| ***??Lifelong Protection??**: Construction 4 {{gems>32B}} {{path>B2}}. Summons 2 ??Imp??s every round of each battle. They are a flying harassing option and often the ??Summon Imps?? spell is Very fatiguing and slow to cast for a user. The imps do not stay after combat, like most other battle summons. | |
