Spells (Origins)

Template:Spell Cross-References

Spells give mages the ability to devastate their foes and to protect and heal their allies. Spells are used by mages instead of talents. Mage spells include the class-based Arcane, Arcane Warrior, Blood Mage, Shapeshifter, Spirit Healer schools in addition to the four main schools of magic: Primal, Creation, Spirit, and Entropy. The downloadable content Warden's Keep also adds the Power of Blood school.

Additional Threat Generated Info

See Also Threat.

Many spells generate threat on hit/activation. In addition to the threat number found in spell mechanics description, any damage dealt by the spell will generate additional threat. This additional threat is based on the damage amount in relation to an enemy's maximum health. E.g., dealing 50 damage to an enemy with 100 hit points will generate 50 points of threat -- 100 * (damage/enemy health at fully healed hitpoints).
