Spells
Strategy
- Many Alchemy spells can be considered as "side" spells. They often have a major limitation, but come with strong/useful effects to compensate.
- For example, Irradiate has only 1 range, and can only be used a few times in a row safely, but can otherwise tear apart enemies. Most of the poison-themed spells do little against foes with poison resistance, but are great against foes without.
- There's no Alchemy spell above level 6, but spells like Irradiate, Yara's Violent Unravelling, and Eringya's Noxious Bog are useful for the entire 3-rune game.
- Most of Alchemist's starting spells are strong, but don't do much against foes with poison resistance. Sticky Flame can be used to take out rPois monsters, though it's quite a high level for a starting school spell.
