ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Ok not really sure if this is a bug... Playing at a lich necro. I sided with the Grand Corruptor and went to clear Zigur with his cohorts. After killing every Ziguranth I tried to kill the Corruptor himself. However no spell I tried on him could hurt him or his 1 remaining cohort. They remained gree...

Navar Kazakh Probably the most powerful character I ever played. Have been playing since late last year with a couple months break in between. Some notes: 1. two major keys to success: 1) high damage and 2) high shields Since this is an archmage, this basically translated into primarily maxing spel...

The shadow crypt issue was moot, anyways, thanks to the bone shield bug. Just for your info, I faced the same issue. But upon casting Disperse Magic to dispel the Rak'Shor cultist's bone shield sustain, a few moments later he did summon my doomed shade. But DG has already mentioned this bug has bee...

Erm yah..Evouga is right. Sorry for the misleading statement about damage potential. Forgot my archmage had about +60%-80% arcane damage on...

After Crystal Focus is applied, the staff loses the Command Staff ability.

Which as mentioned by someone else sounds appropriate since the Crystal Focus is an artifact of the Spellblaze.

Sorry for repeating this, but it seems my previous question seemed buried under other responses and forgotten... I command-staffed a dragonbone staff to Arcane damage, then applied Crystal Focus to it. What I got back was disappointingly a staff with just +10% arcane damage. So basically the origina...

Can you tell how Aether Beam and Breach work, exactly? Description is very vague. Aether Beam creates a user-placed node that fires radial beams of arcane rays over several turns, hits foes around it causing arcane damage and has a 25% chance of silencing them. However when foes walk into the node,...

Armor is useful for Archmages, I think, in two places - Dreadfell ambush and Grushnak (fighter pride) entrances. You can leave without otherwise. If you just need to drain mana, just cast some expensive spell (like displacement shield). Or put on Light shield. Or even better, just flee immediately,...

The heavy armor is kinda alt build with it though. I'm deliberately stacking fatigue, in hopes that like tri-beam will be enough for most damage sources. Of course, I've got the more expensive stuff if needed, but for most anything, I'm hoping late game, I can get the cheaper spells to be expensive...

I command-staffed a dragonbone staff to Arcane damage, then applied Crystal Focus to it. What I got back was disappointingly a staff with just +10% arcane damage. So basically the original plain dragonbone staff's +30% arcane damage was reduced to just +10% by the crystal. However if the original dr...
