In-game description
How Magic XP is gained
You gain XP when your magic weapon attacks hit an enemy. 2.5 × the weapon's attack interval (seconds) per hit, so about 2.5 XP per second with any weapon.
Tips for leveling Magic efficiently
- Every hit gives XP. Keep mana regeneration on hand so you can keep casting.
- Training Dummies and burning damage give no XP.
XP needed to level up Magic
Total XP from level 0. Each level needs more XP than the one before it, so the last 25 levels take the longest. Every 5 levels give 1 talent point, and reaching level 100 gives 5 more (25 in total).
| Level | Total XP | Talent points |
|---|---|---|
| Lv.25 | 1,092 | 5 |
| Lv.50 | 3,367 | 10 |
| Lv.75 | 8,112 | 15 |
| Lv.100 | 18,007 | 25 |

Magic talents
Spend the talent points you get from leveling up on these talents. Each effect is "value per point × points spent" (values from the talent data in the game's configuration files). You cannot fill every talent, but you can reset the points for 200 Ancient Coins and spend them again.
| Talent | Effect (per point) |
|---|---|
| True sight | +1% critical hit chance |
| Mana channeling | +10% mana cost recovered on critical hit |
| Arcane frenzy | +10% magic damage for a short duration on critical hit |
| The best offense | +4% of magic barrier is added as magic damage |
| Mental defense | +20% of additional max mana added as magic barrier |
| Arcane transfusion | Recover 0.5% of your magic barrier as mana every sec |
| Fully charged | Up to 6% magic damage based on your remaining mana |
