Crimson Tactics Spells
Crimson Tactics features a full fledged Magic System. Moreover, each spell in the game can be cast in a variety of different ways.
Normal Cast
This is the standard cast in the game. It deals 1x Damage, consumes 1x Mana and hits a single target.
Intense Cast
Intense cast deals 1.5x Damage but consumes 2x Mana.
Triple Cast
A Triple Cast of a spell deals 0.67x Damage but is cast thrice and consumes 2x Mana. This is great for spells that have a low accuracy rate.
Cross Cast
A Cross Cast is a multi tile cast that deals 0.5x Damage to units in each tile and also consumes 2.5x Mana. This makes the spell an AOE attack.
Block Cast
Similar to the Cross Cast but this deals 0.67x Damage while consuming 2.5x Mana.
Philosopher's Cast
The Philosopher's Cast is reminiscent of the Arithmetician class abilities from FFT. This cast allows the unit to deal damage based on different stats like WT, Elevation, Experience and Level, and the stats can be targeted using numbers (Prime, Multiples of 2, 3 and 5).
Note: Damage and Mana Values are not final and are subject to balance changes.
