Tips & Tricks

  • Crystal tomes are impeccably scary in an open field. They can deal up to 240 damage per cast, enough to one-shot most characters venturing into the Depths.
  • Living spells work similarly to the player Foxfire spell. It creates a living spell entity, which must have a direct path to a hostile target. If you are in melee range with a tome in a corridor, most of the living spells will be unable to hit you. But unlike the foxfire spell, living spells can spawn behind the player (radius-2 of the walking tome), so a corridor is not foolproof.
    • If needed, you can attack a living spell, which will destroy it before it gets the chance to cast itself.
  • Silence works on walking tomes, preventing them from casting at all.

History

  • Walking crystal tomes were added in 0.28.
