Adventure Map Locations

Arcane Library

If no spell can create gold or other precious matter from thin air, why not make magic itself an article of trade? Any hero can exchange resources here for spells of the fourth and fifth circles.

Dark Magic spells are sold for Mercury, Destructive Magic for Sulfur, Light Magic for Crystal and Summoning Magic for Gems. Level 4 spells cost 15 units of the resource, level 5 spells cost 25 units. A hero can only buy spells for which he has the necessary skill prerequisites. Like the Artifacts Shop, the Arcane Library recharges itself every month.

The Astrologer observing the movement of celestial bodies is the one who can foretell the future. He can disclose the effect of future weeks and even change it for an appropriate reward.

Changing the week can be done only once per week per player, and not on sundays. The change will be effective the next day. If several players have ordered a week change on the same day, only one will be fulfilled, randomly chosen.
