Completing the [[Mebbeth]] line of quests (once The Nameless One (TNO) actually becomes a mage) and more importantly, extracting the [[Teachings of Zerthimon]] from [[Dak'kon]]'s [[Unbroken Circle of Zerthimon]] inventory item, and other quests that TNO can do only as a mage, will yield enough XP to get TNO to eighth level Mage <u>without leveling up in any other way</u>.

Revision as of 09:39, 21 March 2016

Spells are offensive and defensive abilities. In Planescape: Torment, they follow Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) rules – a mage must rest to replenish each spell used; priest spells are gained automatically.

Advancing as a mage can be quite easy. Mages require less XP to level up, and there are many mage-oriented quests. Completing Old Mebbeth's quests, learning more about the teachings of Zerthimon from Dak'kon, and completing other mage-only quests will yield enough XP for TNO to become a level 8 mage without leveling up in any other way.

Priest spells

Unlike Mage spells, priest spells don't require scrolls and items to learn. Instead, priests learn spells automatically as they level up. Fall-from-Grace is the only priest companion and, as such, the only one capable of learning these spells.

Notes

During the extended animation of spells such as Elysium's Tears and Cloudkill, enemy movement is halted and the player cannot issue new commands to player characters, but movement commands already issued will be executed; the player can use this "free movement" advantage (especially against ranged enemies), but beware of sending characters to potentially dangerous locations while casting of such spells.

During these animations, the Damage over Time of spells such as Swarm Curse will continue ticking, but then stop halfway through, for damage that is delivered sooner but reduced in total.
