Golem

4

Golem summons a golem to help the player, and is the only spell in the game that summons an actual minion. It can be useful for Sorcerers against triple immunes in Hell difficulty.

°If no monster is close enough to the golem, he will walk in the same direction the owning player is facing.

Guardian

3

A three headed dragon emerges from the ground, with each head firing Firebolts at surrounding enemies. The dragon cannot be hit, therefore casting Guardians in rooms full of enemies can earn you a few easy kills. The higher the level of the spell, the more damage the Firebolts do, and the longer the Guardian will remain.

Type: fire 
Min. Dmg: Rec(slvl, 1 + [clvl/2]) 
Max. Dmg: Rec(slvl, 10 + [clvl/2])

Phasing

3

Phasing will teleport the player a short distance to a random location nearby. It uses little mana, and can be useful when surrounded by a group of enemies.

Type: n/a 

°Due to being a non targeting spell, it is slightly faster than Teleport and it may thus be easier to escape with this spell than with Teleport.

Repair

Skill

Repair is the Warrior class skill. It allows the player to repair damaged items without returning to Griswold. It also doesn't cost any money, but permanently reduces the durability of an item.

Repair works the following way:

1. if current durability is equal to max durability, exit

2. x = 0

3. add (clvl + Rnd[clvl]) to x

4. y = [MaxDur/(clvl+9)], if less than 1 set to 1

5. decrease MaxDur by y

6. if x + CurDur < MaxDur, goto 3.

7. CurDur = MaxDur

If max durability ever reaches 0, the item is of course destroyed

°As your level goes up the durability loss decreases

Resurrect

Scroll/
Staff

If a character is killed, and his body remains (provided he does not restart in town) a Resurrect spell can be cast, bringing him back to life with one hit point and one mana count.

Type: n/a 

°Brings another player back to life. The player will have 10 life (or his max life if it is less than 10) and 0 mana.

Staff Recharge

Skill

Sorcerers have a special skill that allows them to recharge magic staffs. Just as with the warrior you should use this skill rarely as the number of charges available on the staff decreases permanently with each recharge.

Recharge works the following way:

1. if current charges is equal to max charges or max charges is equal to 0, exit

2. x = Rnd[clvl/qlvl(book)] + 1

3. decrease MaxChrg by 1

4. add x to CurChrg

5. if CurChrg < MaxChrg, goto 3.

6. CurChrg = MaxChrg

Stone Curse

2

An effective spell which will turn the desired target to stone for a short period of time; no creature has resistance to this spell. During this time he can't move or attack, making him easy prey. The higher the level of the spell, the longer the target will remain in stone, and the more effective the Stone Curse will be.

Type: n/a 
Duration: 4.8 + 0.8·slvl seconds (max 12 seconds)

°Stone Curse works on all monsters except Diablo. 
°Stone Curse does not work on other players. 
°Any monster already stoned, charging, phasing in or phasing out is temporary immune to Stone Curse.

Telekinesis

2

Allows distant objects to be 'triggered'. With this spell, doors and chests can be opened from afar, as can the picking up of items, the pushing of levers, the pushing of enemies, and many other possibilities.

Type: n/a 

°Can be used to open doors, chests, bookcases, shrines etc. from a distance. 
°Can also be used to pick up items from a distance. 
°Can be used to "knock" monsters back.
°A monster will immediately lose any Stone Curse status if it is targeted with Telekinesis.

Teleport

4

Transports the caster to any destination clicked onscreen. Ignores doors, gates, walls, and any other obstruction between you and the target.

Type: n/a 

°You can teleport to anywhere within the screen. I have noticed that if you quickly move your cursor before teleporting you often end up teleporting to where your cursor was

just before you moved it.

Town Portal

2

Casting this spell will open up a blue portal, which will take you directly to town (instead of having to ascend through the levels to find a passage to town). Once you return from town through the blue portal, it disappears.

Type: n/a 

°Makes a portal to town and disappears when the caster uses it to go down to the dungeon.

Trap Disarm

Skill

A special skill for the Rogue. It allows you to disarm traps on chests or doors.

Disarm works the following way:

1. x = 2·Dex - 5·dlvl

2. if x > Rnd[100], trap is disarmed
