Diablo's Haven: spells page

The Spells page

This page holds all the info I have been able to gather about the spells in the beta/demo release of diablo. Remember this is all speculation information not facts but it is pretty accurate, if you find any more info on any of these spells or on ones I do not have then please mail me

Some basic info for this page:

you raise spell levels by reading more than one book (read 2 books = level 2 ect.). Spell duration is how long spells will last if they are a continuing spell such as Firewall. Spell books require magical ability of varying level, the more powerfull the spell the more magical ability required to learn it. Most scrolls require no attributes to use while high level spells like Flash and Firewall require a minimum of 17 magic.

Spell:

FireBolt

The Firebolt spell is simply a "Bolt" of fire that your character can fire to hit a single opponent at a distance. It can be found on the first level dungeon in the form of scrolls, books and staffs and in the town in the form of scrolls, books and staffs As you raise the level of this spell it gains better speed (how fast the bolt flies) more damage and better accuracy. This spell requires no mana to cast after 6th level.

Spell:

FireWall

This spell creates a wall of fire which spans bettween the nearest two solid objects (walls, torches, barrels) enimies can somtimes walk though it but not often. It will kill almost anything in the demo, it depends on how well you hit it (ie. do they walk into it and stay there or do they walk around for a while first) but it can kill the butcher. I think this spell sucks because it does not give you any experience for killing things, on the other hand it would be kind of easy if it did :) This can be found in the dungeon in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs as well as in the town in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs.

Spell:	*Flame Wave*
	This spell fires a moveing version of FireWall. I find this spell to be rather crappy since it only does a small amount of damage to a large ammount of creatures. It does the same damage as a FireWall but it only strikes once, causeing a sheet of fire to roll across the dungeon floor. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Fireball*
	This spell fires a bolt which explodes on impact causing massive destruction in a 9 square area. It gains speed and power as it goes up in levels. This spell will kill anything in the demo in a single hit. It can only be found in Scroll format and is only sold by Gimpy.

Spell:	*Apocalypse*
	This spell bassicaly destroys everything within your site. It creates a small mushroom shaped explosion on all the enimies it hits and will kill anything in the demo. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Sentinal*
	This spell creates a large floating eye which will fire at any enimies within it's sight (roughly half the screen). It fires firebolts of whatever level you have the spell (level 1 if you do not have it). This spell lasts about one minute and twenty seconds and can only be can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Guradian*
	This is basicaly a better version of the sentinal spell. It fires faster, stronger firebolts and has a better range of sight (about one full screen). This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Golem*
	This is one of the unfinished spells which does not do what it is meant to. However in the demo is has the effect of a permanent stone curse (turnes the victem to stone). This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:

Lightning Bolt

This spell is very similar to the FireBolt spell except it fires in a straight line from the caster and can hit several opponents in that line and continue until it hits somthing solid... like a wall. As you raise the level of this spell it gains better speed (how fast the bolt flies) more damage and better accuracy. This spell can be found on the first level of the dungeon in scroll and staff form as well as in the town as scrolls, books and staffs. This spell stops costing mana at 10th level.

Spell:	*Chain lightning*
	This spell is very similar to the Lightning Bolt spell except will hit the enimy it is aimed at then shoot over to the nearest available target and continue to do so until the spell durration is over. This makes it one brutal spell since it can kill just about anything at high level and keep going. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Doom Srepants*
	This spell fires a small coil (srepant) which flies around for the duration of the spell and strikes any enimies in the area. It will kill any living creature in the demo but does not effect undead (Skeletons, zombies and the ilk). This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Flash*
	This spell causes a small but massivly powerfull explosion of electricity around your character. It affects the eight squares directly surrounding your character. It will kill anything in the demo but does not effect undead. This can be found in the dungeon in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs as well as in the town in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs.

Spell:	*Nova*
	This spell launches a circle of lightning in an expanding circle which moves outward from your charcter. Yet another spell that will kill anything in the demo. This spell is intended to be found as the prize in one of the quests in the full version. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Blood Boil*
	This spell affects a single target causeing his blood to boil. This one is unfinished and tends to cause the game to crash, it also works on undead and for some reason skeletons (why? they have no blood to boil!) Yet another spell that will kill anything in the demo. This can be found only in the town and only Gimpy has it, scroll format.

Spell:	*Identify*
	This has got to be the most usefull spell in the demo. Just in case you can't guess this spell will identify any of the numerous items that you can find in the dungeon. This spell can be found in the dungeon in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books as well as in the town in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books.

Spell:	*Healing*
	This spell restores lost hit points. Used in combination with the Blood Ritual spell you can gain both infinate mana and infinate life. It can be found in the dungeon in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books as well as in the town in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books.

Spell:

Blood Ritual

This spell is the oposite of the healing spell. It takes life and restors mana. If you have either this or healing of high level you can gain more life or mana than you spend giveing you virtualy limitless life/mana. I hope they take care of this in the full version as it kind of makes the game bite! It can be found in the dungeon in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books as well as in the town in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books.

Thanks to srveral web folks for pointing out that I had BloodBoil backwards :)

Spell:

Town Portal

This Spell creates a Portal that will, when you step into it, take you back to the town level. The portal will remain open until you either go back through it or go back to the dungeon level which you cast it on. this is a great spell for making trips out of the dungeon to sell things and go shoping. It can be found in the dungeon in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books as well as in the town in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books.

Spell:	*Repair Item*
	This is the default ability for the warrior. This will repair any item that you can wear or weild but it will bring down the maximum durability: your shiled has 3 of 5 durability, you repair it, it now has 4 of 4. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section or by playing as the fighter.

Spell:	*Stone Curse*
	This spell will turn your enimies into stone for a very short period of time. If you hit them while they are stone the simply shatter, unfortunately this takes 1 point of duration off your weapon each time you do it. It can be found in the dungeon in the form of staffs as well as in the town in the form of scrolls, staffs, and books.

Spell:	*Teleport*
	This spell is deffinately going to be a must have, it will teleport you to whatever location you click on no matter if it is through walls doors or enimies. This makes traveseing the dungeon much easier. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Phaseing*
	This spell is similar to Teleport except that it teleports you randomly when cast. It is great for makeing a fast escape but teleport is way better. I suppose you could use this if you were really low on mana. This spell can be sold by Gimpy in scroll format.

Spell:	*Staff Recharge*
	This is the default ability for the mage. It recharges staffs with the same effect the repair has on weapons: Staff with 2 of 4 charges, you recharge it and it now has 3 of 3. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat or the V1.0 upgrade both of which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Etherialize*
	This is another spell that is not meant for the demo. In the demo it has the effect of crashing the game :) or turning the target into stone. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Invisibility*
	ANOTHER spell that is not working in the demo. This is meant to have an obvious effect (turning you invisible) yet it is not working so it has the effect of turning you enimy to stone (I think this is the default effectfor unfinished spells). This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.

Spell:	*Infravision*
	This spell causes all enimies outside your light source to appear bright red. Not very handy since you can see em anyway by moveing the mouse over them but it is a good idea and lasts quite a while. This can be found in the dungeon in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs as well as in the town in the form of books, scrolls, and staffs.

Spell:	*Mana Shield*
	This spell makes it so that instead of loseing life when hit you lose mana, this is a great way to stay alive as a mage! This can be found in the town in the form of scrolls or staffs.

Spell:	*Trap Dissarm*
	This is the default ability for the rogue (no I don't have any way for you to play as the rogue... yet). You can use this spell to dissarm the traps that are constantly found on chests and sarcophagi. Simply click on the item you wish to dissarm. This spell can only be accuired by useing the spells cheat which you can find in my FILE section.
