Guide to Magic

From Ratwood Keep

Holy, Unholy, and Magic

There are three types of magic in this game. There aren't systems to learn new ones yet, so the spells you get depend on your role. Vampire lords will get all vampire powers. Court Magicians will get all Magical spells. And the Priest will get all Divine spells. Each of these roles have downgraded variants, such as Vampire Servants, Mages, and Acolytes.

How to use Magic?

For most spells, it is quite simple, just click on what spell you wish to use on the bottom left of the screen, point towards your target, and hold middle mouse down until your cursor turns into the symbol. Once you release, you will shoot a projectile. Other spells are different, where you simply click on them, and a menu of available targets is show. For blessings, you will just have to hover your mouse over the target. On the holy team, if you gain enough devotion, you can unlock new spells.
