Boost Magic Power?

[ΛƘ 420]

I have a talisman that "Boosts Magic Power by 50%". What does this mean exactly? Thanks.

It means that your magic power increases by 50% and when I say "your" I mean your wizards. So say, you start a match with 180 magic power, after you activate this talisman you will have 270.

Magic Power governs the strength of your wizard's Magic Bolt, Subversion, and Magic Attack spells. It also governs your wizard's resistance to Magic Attack spells and how quickly your wizard overcomes being paralyzed by a hellhound's gaze.

Also, check out the in-game 'Game Guide', 'Magic Power' section, the part labeled 'Spell Power Modifier' is useful.

I'll be sure to be checking there next time then! Thanks again for your replies guys, most helpful.

I think it also helps your creatures resist enemy subversion and magic attacks.

It shouldn't. Your creatures have their own Magic Power score.

[🍪biscuits✨]

It does, though;p
Subversion, paralyse and magic attack success depend on:
Attacker magic power, defender magic power, and defender's controlling wizard's magic power.
Bolt is depenent on spell power, attacker's magic power and defender's (non-magical) defense value only.

+1 to what Rafi said

The ratio of Attacker's Magic Power: Defender's Magic Power is used as a multiplier to a Magic Attack/Subversion's spell power, then compared to the creature's Magic Power to determine odds. While this does mean the creature's Magic Power matters more (typically), you can really swing the odds if you're running an Equipped set that plans to get over 200 Magic Power (270 generally) while your opponent is less than half that.

A=Attacking Wizard's MP
B=Defending Wizard's MP
C=Spell's Power
D=Target's MP

(A*C/B):D

Ah, I didn't bother to read to the actual bottom of the magic power section. For example, towards the top, the in-game game guide says, "If a Magic Attack spell is cast, then the probability of killing a target creature is the ratio of the spell's Power to the target's magic power attribute." It's not until the end of the section that the game guide state the base power of the magic attack is affected directly by the defending wizard's magic power. Thank you (and Rafi and D00m) for correcting me!

It means you spend 35 mana to have a rat or eagle kill you anyway.

Well that's part of this game's charm. In all truth, if a Giant Rat wanted to or an Eagle wanted to in real life they could really hurt us.
