The [[Spellcasting]] skill determines how proficient a character is at casting [[spell]]s from memory. A higher Spellcasting level gives your character more spell levels, increases your max [[MP]], and slightly improves [[spell power]] of your spells. It has a minor effect on [[spell success]] rate too, but increasing skill in a spell's individual magic schools is better for raising its success rate.

Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The Spellcasting skill determines how proficient a character is at casting spells from memory. A higher Spellcasting level gives your character more spell levels and increases your max MP. It also has a minor effect on your spell power and spell success rate, but increasing skill in a spell's individual magic schools has a greater effect on both attributes.

Note that the max MP increase granted by Spellcasting is not cumulative with that of Invocations; only the highest of the two is used. For this purpose, Spellcasting is twice as effective.

History

  • Prior to 0.12, this skill had a hidden cost in experience points which was +30%; all species had their aptitudes adjusted to account for this.
