Triggering antimagic encounter

[Susramanian]

I got to 15 as a berserker using no scrolls, but wandering around the wilderness produces nothing. I took Imbue Item as an escort quest reward, which gave me a mana bar. Did that screw me?

You can check the encounter triggering code by opening mod/data/general/encounters/arda-west.lua.

Code: Select all

	special_filter = function(self)
		local p = game.player
		if p.level < 15 then return false end
		if p:attr("casted_spells") then return false end
		if p:attr("used_magic_devices") then return false end
		if p:knowTalent(p.T_TELEPORT_ANGOLWEN) then return false end
		if p:attr("angolwen_access") then return false end
		return true
	end,

You can search for the the "casted_spells" and "used_magic_devices" variables in the tome folder and find that magic devices have a "is_magic_device" flag, whereas talents that have "is_spell" count against you. The "is_spell" variable is actually set for the entire talent type/category, so you can identify which talents qualify there. It looks like only scrolls and wands are considered magic devices for now (I think activated artifacts should be included, eg. Ring of Ulmo).

Finally, if you can access Angolwen you have demonstrated a friendly attitude to those accursed magic users, which I am guessing is what actually did you in.

I was able to understand where to find info on objects (and thank DarkGod you can still use potions...) but I'm not clear on where to find spell info. In particular, are Hymns and Chants considered to be spells?

[darkgod]

Are considered spells:
* All magic spells
* All divine talents
* All corruption talents

[Charlatan73]

is there a particular area of the wilderness you have to wander?
Am level 15, am confident I met the criteria.

* All magic spells

* All corruption talents

Out of curiosity, why the corruptions?

[darkgod]

corruptions are "evil" magic. It works of the magic stat

[Sirrocco]

The skills of the Cursed class all run off of Willpower or Strength, and the word "magic" doesn't show up in any of the text descriptions. Are they offensive to the antimagic types? I'd thought they were, but if "uses the magic stat" is the criteria....

[darkgod]

They are not spells

[Sirrocco]

*blinks*

Right. Total reading/comprehension fail on my part. Thank you.

I suppose I haven't yet unlocked the class that uses corruptions.

So just to make completely crystal clear--selecting magical abilities/hyms/chants as a reward, but not using them, does NOT violate the quest?

Thanks!

I was able to get the antimagic quest with a hymn and an imbue item reward with no problem.
