Spellbook.png Book of Air
Primary school Air
A primer on the elemental magics of Air. Particularly dedicated students have found themselves convinced of their own ability to fly, with tragic results.

Spells

Tile Spell Type Level

Airstrike.png c - Airstrike Air 4


Use

Air Magic has a variety of applications, and this book is no exception:

  • Swiftness allows you to outrun most foes while zapping them with Shock, and tougher foes can usually be manoeuvred into position for a double-zap.
  • Airstrike is a useful spell for elemental specialists who lack the means to deal with enemies immune to their attacks. It is also useful for summoners, as they can fire past their summoned creatures without fear.

Further reading

The Book of the Sky, Book of Storms, and Book of Lightning contain more advanced Air Magic.
