Official: Arcane Circle Release

[Alorn15]

The Arcane circle has now been released. This circle is comprised of many spells that were formally found on magic items only, spells that were cast by creatures only, and a few new spells. The spells will generate on some predefined items and as random drops on treasures and other magical trinkets.

Most of the credit for this release goes to former GameMaster Nilven, who handled the initial design and coding.

In the next day or so, I'll be updating the website's spell documentation, but it does currently have an outline of the circle:

I love that... 1700s are released... but none but 1750 are implemented.

[Lumi]

I love that... 1700s are released... but none but 1750 are implemented.

What makes you say that? Most of the spells were already implemented (small statues, blue wands, crystal wands, etc.).

The wands that contain steam bolt are out, too. There's a post on the officials about someone loresinging to it (doesn't work right yet).

They're re-releasing bronze squares and the like for those. I imagine the items are in the hopper, ready to be found.

1750 is just the new, big, shiny one, so it got the center stage of the release event.

[The Ponzzz]

I've found a bronze square and a coral wand. I'm pretty sure they are all implemented.

[Fallen]

What happened during the release event?

[Zanagodly]

How do you gain access to this spell circle?

How do you gain access to this spell circle?

Outside of auction quality enhancive spell knowledge items, you will find the spells on scrolls and magical items in the treasure system. It will not be native to any particular profession.

What do bronze squares do again? Haste?

[Allereli]

What do bronze squares do again? Haste?

attack everything in the room w/ +100 AS (I think)

[Monsoon]

Do any of them still do that though?

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

bronze squares attack everything in the room with a big boost to AS (I recall it being 50 but could be wrong). You had to have it in your hand back then, and it gave like 30 seconds rt but usually obliterated everything (but that was when you could crit the shit out of stuff).

By everything, I mean everything. IIRC you even attacked other people, even in your party.

[septus]

So what have people found so far? the green minor steam wands, bronze triangles, bronze squares? Do they still hit everything including friendlies?

[Swami71]

Nice AvD on the green coral wands....

1d100: 87 + Modifiers: 297 == 384

You hurl a seething blast of steam at a human robber!
AS: +427 vs DS: +262 with AvD: +40 + d100 roll: +96 = +301
... and hit for 74 points of damage!
The human robber cringes from a scalding blast to right arm!
The human robber is stunned!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

It had a CvA of -10

Oscuro/Estild said they altered the old spells. Don't expect them to work the same as they once did, for better or worse.

It takes you a moment to focus on the yellowed papyrus.
On the yellowed papyrus you see
(1711) Mystic Focus
(1704) Stun Cloud

That is badass.

Have that bitch infused. Sorcerer could lock up both instances of 1704 for 5 charges, then unlock 1711 for 20-25 charges, and you're golden for about 40 casts.

WHERE COULD I FIND A SORCERER THAT INFUSES?!?!11

[Beguiler]

Anyone able to post the list of these spells here on the PC? Work blocked many websites this summer and play.net was one of them....

[Fallen]

Sure.

1701 Arcane Decoy (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1701) - Gets stripped first when dispelled
1704 Stun Cloud (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1704) - Think Call Lightning (125)
1706 Flaming Aura (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1706) - Still not sure on this one
1707 Minor Steam (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1707) - Bolt spell
1709 Minor Cold (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1709) - Bolt spell
1710 Major Acid (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1710) - Bolt Spell
1711 Mystic Focus (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1711) - Quartz orb spell
1712 Spirit Guard (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1712) - Small Statue spell
1713 Death Cloud (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1713) - Think (125) again
1715 Firestorm (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1715) - Same as above
1718 V'tull's Fury (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1718) - I think this gives you a + to your AS, and lets you swing at everything in the room.
1750 Fash'lo'nae's Gift (https://www.play.net/gs4/info/spells/spelllist.asp?circle=14#1750) - Play a dumbed down macguyver with 1 scroll assuming you have 202 Arcane Symbols ranks.

The Arcane circle spell documentation on the website has been updated:

Creates a strong magical aura around the target, ensuring any dispelling action will first target this effect before other effects. As a side effect Elemental Detection will always detect and list this spell before any others as well.

Dispel actions are typically, but not limited to, the results of the Spirit Dispel, Elemental Dispel, Spiritual Abolition, and Elemental Disjunction spells.

This got me thinking. If you were to spellup in a different order (104, 105, 112) could you predict what spells would be stripped? If you always spelled up with worthless spells first or last.

[Swami71]

Never mind.... Just did some testing and its still random.

It used to work this way, in a LIFO sort of deal, but that changed a few years ago when the update to dispel mechanics and Spirit Dispel were introduced.
