|detail = Usage: CAST MISSILES <target 1> [target 2] [target 3] [target 4]
Raise a hand and cast a spell that will release a barrage of four magic missiles at a target of
choice. You can choose a target for each missile, if you so like. For any remaining missiles with
no target, they will strike your last hit mark.
|cooldown =
|target = Both players and NPCs
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Reflection}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Reflection
|description = Create a distracting illusion of yourself
|syntax = CAST REFLECTION [target]
|detail = Create an illusion of yourself or another that will protect you against certain attacks.
Each time it is cast, the ability will consume a charge that will take time to recover. Only one
charge may recover at a time. Once you use three charges, you will be unable to cast any further
reflections.
|cooldown = 15 seconds per
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Arcaneskin}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Arcaneskin
|description = Draw an ethereal cloak to guard you from harm
|syntax = CAST ARCANESKIN
|detail = A thin layer of protective magic on your body will absorb some damage from physical
attacks, helping you resist blunt and cutting damage.
The strength of the damage resistance offered by this ability will increase the more you learn in
Arcanism.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Flight}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Flight
|description = A spell to allow you control of the skies
|syntax = CAST FLIGHT        LAND
|detail = Manipulate the air around you to ascend into the skies above.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Mark}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Mark
|description = Mark a target with a battlefield designation
|syntax = CAST MARK <target> <SKULL/ORB/SQUARE/TRIANGLE/STAR>
|detail = Mark a target with an illusory symbol, making them visible across the battlefield for
some time. The target can then be targetted using the name of the symbol marking them. You can only
have one marker in existence at a time.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Manatap}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Manatap
|description = Tap into your reserves to restore some mana
|syntax = CAST MANATAP <10-1000>
|detail =
Through sheer force of will, you can replenish your mana reserves. This will deplete your willpower
proportional to how much mana you choose to recover.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Countercurrent}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Countercurrent
|description = Protect yourself from venoms
|syntax = CAST COUNTERCURRENT
|detail = Wrap a thin current of energy around your body, giving you a 2% chance to wick away a
venom before it pierces your skin. If you are channeling a skill or action, then this chance is
increased to 20%.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Illusion}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Illusion
|description = Conjure an illusion of your choice
|syntax = CAST ILLUSION <illusion>        CAST ILLUSION AT <target> <illusion>
|detail = A mainstay of magicians everywhere, simple illusions can astound your allies and confound
your enemies.
Note: You can add a new line into your illusion by using the tag $nl within the text, however you
may only do this once.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Dispel}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Dispel
|description = Destroy traces of magic
|syntax = CAST DISPEL HERE        CAST DISPEL <aegis> <glyph>        CAST DISPEL <glyph>
|detail = Undo the spellwork that has left any lingering effects in a location. This will not
dispel glyphs unless they are specifically targetted, and dispelling your own glyphs will not
consume your equilibrium.
It will also dispel any elemental phenomena that has been cast by you within the world at large.
You can also cast the dispel upon an aegis to remove the specified glyph from it, though the
protective magic of the aegis will make this process take some time.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Vivacity}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Vivacity
|description = A lively body improves your boar tattoo
|syntax = CAST VIVACITY [target]

|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Ensorcell}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Ensorcell
|description = Enact an arcane aegis in your location
|syntax = CAST ENSORCELL <aegis>
|detail = An aegis typically needs to be attuned to the land so that it can draw upon the mana it
needs to operate its defences - but a mage has ways around this. By giving it a constant supply of
mana from your own reserves, you can have the aegis' defences work wherever you happen to be
holding it. This is a channeled operation and most other actions will interrupt the process.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Chromatics}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Chromatics
|description = Infuse your illusions with vibrant color
|syntax = CAST ILLUSION [AT <target>] COLOUR:<colour> <text>
|detail =
While little more than a parlour trick, chromatic illusions can astound those present with vivid
color. There is an increase in equilibrium cost for this effect.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|River}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = River
|description = Create a forceful tide of arcane magic
|syntax = CAST RIVER <direction>
|detail = You may draw upon the aether around you to create a persistent, flowing magical force in
your location, constantly pushing anyone present, up to five rooms away in a line. There is a delay
between each movement push.
This spell is negated by the density defense, though the presence of one of your clarity glyphs in
the target's room will give it a chance to bypass this.
The river will end after a short duration, or if the rift it creates is destroyed by being attacked.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|MirrorDelay}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = MirrorDelay
|description = Have a reflection appear after a given delay
|syntax = CAST REFLECTION [3-10 seconds]
|detail =
This ability adds the extra functionality of having a cast reflection appear after a delay to the
Reflection skill.
Please see AB ARCANISM REFLECTION for more information on this skill.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Soar}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Soar
|description = Fly into the sky and past barriers
|syntax = CAST SOAR <dir>
|detail = A variation on flight, you can position yourself to fly in a direction of your choice,
taking you into the skies above the room in your targeted direction.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Phantasm}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Phantasm
|description = A lingering illusion
|syntax = CAST PHANTASM <illusion>        CAST PHANTASM ON AEGIS <illusion>
|detail = Form a lingering phantasm from the local energies that will persist for a few minutes
before dissipating. Anyone who enters a room with a phantasm attached to it will see the illusion
upon entry. Only one phantasm can exist in the room, and subsequent casts will overwrite the
previous.
The phantasm can also be attached to an attuned crystal aegis, where it will persist forever or
until dispelled. It will only be shown to targets of the aegis in this situation.
The dispel ability can be used to remove a phantasm prematurely.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Colourspray}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Colourspray
|description = Release a spray of blinding colour
|syntax = CAST COLOURSPRAY <target 1> <target 2> <target 3>
|detail =
Release a spray of coloured light at your given targets. The blinding light will sting their eyes,
lowering their physical accuracy by 15% for a short duration.
You must target exactly three people with this spell, no more or less.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Mirage}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Mirage
|description = Cloak the identities of all present
|syntax = CAST MIRAGE
|detail = Drawing upon your mastery of illusioncraft, you may create a powerful mirage that will
mask the presence of all in your location. Such an illusion will not prevent anyone from attacking
others should they know they are there. The Dispel ability can remove a mirage.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Attunement}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Attunement
|description = Secure an aegis within your city
|syntax = ATTUNE AEGIS HERE        DAMPEN AEGIS        CEDE AEGIS <org>
|detail = In an impressive feat of spellcraft, you can attach a crystal aegis to the land around
you. By attuning it to the leylines that course all throughout the continent, you can keep the
aegis permanently supplied with the energy it needs to keep its defences activated. Such an act
takes a considerable length of time, and requires your utmost concentration. Once attuned in place,
the aegis cannot be moved. You cannot attune an aegis to a room if there is another attuned aegis
already placed within a two-room distance.
An attuned aegis will only have four of its glyphs activated when set up in this state. Within a
city, the help of its pylon can further increase it to all six. During a period of stable activity
of the leylines however, an attuned aegis will become dormant due to a lack of energy. Please see
AB REFINING FLUXATIONS for more information.
To remove an aegis, you can focus on dampening its connection to the leylines. This act will take a
much shorter time than attuning, but your utmost concentration is still required. As a mage, you
can perform this feat significantly faster than the Survival skill equivalent. Once completed, the
crystal aegis will shatter into pieces, destroying it completely.
You can also cede ownership of an aegis to any organisation, so long as the aegis has been attuned
upon a location that belongs to that organisation. Once the ownership has been ceded, the aegis
will instead attack enemies of that organisation, instead of your personal enemies.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required =
}}
{{Anchor|Observation}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Observation
|description = Detect those who trespass upon its location
|syntax = TRACE OBSERVATION        TRACE OBSERVATION ONTO <aegis>
|detail =
Type: Triggered
The observation glyph will alert you when it is triggered, informing you of the location and who
did it.
If traced onto an attuned aegis, this glyph will alert the owner of the aegis when a caravan passes
through its location (HELP PRODUCTION).
If traced onto an attuned aegis that also has its ownership set to an organisation, the observation
glyph will instead make an alert over that organisation's channel.
|cooldown =
|target =
|required = 1 topaz dust
}}
{{Anchor|Glyphs}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Glyphs
|description = Trace arcane glyphs in your location
|syntax =
|detail = Glyphs are arcane inscriptions traced through the air with gem dust and infused with mana.
Each glyph has a different effect depending on the pattern traced and the gem dust used to create
it.
There are currently two types of glyphs: persistent glyphs, and triggered glyphs. Persistent glyphs
will last for a short duration and impose a constant effect upon their location, until they fade
from their magic being depleted. Triggered glyphs will hang in the air until an enemy of yours
enters the location, at which point their effect will trigger and the glyph will shatter as its
magic depletes. The clarity defence will protect an enemy from being affected by most triggered
glyphs.
Each room can only contain two glyphs, for any more than that would cause the magics to disrupt
each other. Both glyphs must be different.
Glyphs can additionally be traced onto the facet of a crystal aegis, instead of in the air. When
upon an aegis, glyphs will be permanently powered and no longer fade. Some glyphs may have a
different effect when upon an aegis. An aegis can exist alongside glyphs traced in the room.
