Sun Magic (Enchantments)

One of the differences between Sun School enchantments and other in-game enchantments is that cards enchanted with Sun School cards disappear after combat is resolved.

I don't understand this. What, you can never use the cards you enchanted again?


No no no, your mistaken. What it means is that when you use the card, you cant use it again for the rest of the duel. however it WILL be available for the next duel your in.

Treasure card enchantments dissapear forever when thier used, while sun school enchantments dissapear for the rest of the duel, but reappear for the next duel.

I hope that helped clarify things up for you.

Yep thanks

Prospector Zeke said that sun school spells can't be used on rank x spells. But than why can you use it on heak hound, a rank x spell. If you use gargantuin on it, it does 355 damage per pip, so if you have 7 power pips it would do 4970 base damage. That's not including blades and clothing boosts. And since it is a damage over time spell, it will break the sheilds the first turn and then it will full damage the next two turns, still enough to kill you. Then again I shouldn't complaining because I am a pyromancer . And yes, I did already do this before, so don't ask me if I'm making this up.

Anything new in the sun school that a death wizard can use? Since my favorite spells to use are Crow and wraith , I can't enchant these cards with tough or anything that would increase damage. Currently I just use keen eyes and keep them around as back up. We also dont get mutates that will work.
I can use tough on skeleton, but *shrugs* don't really use that spell. Only spells I keep in my deck are crow for more that one creature , and wraith for when its 1v1. Then all my boost. Would like to be able to have a new spells I could use , that would help me in celestia.
Since I don't have the extra training points atm , would any of the other school spells help me out? will the auras work to increase my damage with crow and wraith?

Thanks


Well my fellow wizard, it all goes back to pvp. Since crow and wraith gives back 50% heath to the caster, people will or have complained that it's unfair. Same goes for x spells: Judgement does 100 damage per pips so they think its unfair to add 250 (garagtuan) more to that but what people do not realize is that if you enchant an "x" spell, the enchantment is not per pip, instead it just add the amount to the total attack. For example, if you have 4 pips and you cast judgement. if you were to enchant judgement with gargantuan which gives 250 additional damage then your base hit would be 400+250=650. So, a 4 pip garantuan enchanted judgement would do 650 damage and not 1400 like most people are inclined to think.

You can use sun spells on skeletal pirate and poison but I don't really use those in my deck, you can also use it on skeletal dragon.

A good point to note is that if you enchant poison and you get a critical it can kill a life boss in the three rounds expecially if you keep putting feint on them. it will probably kill them quicker if they do not shield.

I just don't see how this can be a big game changer. All you are doing is changing the school you are attacking in.

and how are we supposed to get these new cards without a trip to golem court? i like how my players are without have to change everything about them. i have worked hard to get them this way ( my players that is ). i think the idea behind the sun school :D is a very good one. i just wish i had enough points to get the new cards, not just one or two of them. players would have to lose one of their secondary schools to get them, cards we have worked long and hard to get ( and need ). maybe add side quest for more training points, not just a zeke quest. there is no point to having all these new cards if you can not use the higher ranked ones!


When i first heard about these new schools I stopped using my training points on storm because I didn't use them that much and you can't get the other good spells from that school and now I have a ton of training points for these new schools!

Will ther be sun attacks like fire nova that estrakik used?????


You know, that's the reason you can't get sun/moon/star as a primary
school... (Because they don't have damage spells ! )

I don't quite understand what you mean by cloaking spells, I can't remembering ever encountering them before. What do you mean you say that you can "disguise" your spells?

Here's a question about the sun-school mutates:

Let's say I'm a pyromancer (I am) and I mutate a phoenix into a thunderbird. Is that now a fire-school spell that does storm damage? Or is it a storm school card?

The difference is that I can cast a phoenix with, say, two power pips and a regular one - but a lvl 5 storm spell would require me to wait two more rounds for two more (power- or regular-) pips. I.e. if I have three power pips and "could" cast phoenix, but I enchant it, does it mean I can now NOT cast it any more because it now requires more pips?

Ok, my Death mage bought the Strong Spell and can't use it. Like many other Death mages, I only use Wraith and Crow. Also, my Balance mage can't use the same thing on Nova. Ok, now we're just being silly. Nova is NOT an enchantment.

You made this school work with the most damaging schools, like fire and storm, and left Balance and Death out? The battles are going to be tough in CL and yet you won't let Death and Balance get a boost from learning the SAME spells? I don't get it. This doesn't make sense. Ok, I can TRY to understand that you don't want Death mages healing so very much (but not really), but Nova? You made the opponents harder for everyone, but only made the boosts needed available to some. I'm REALLY hoping this gets changed.

I love the game and play online with my kids a lot (too much probably lol). Thanks KI!


the drains i get, as for nova, i cant help ya, but there are level 58 spells that do major damage for both of them, death has skeletal dragon, which is about 1100 damage, add the 225 enchantment, ya have way over double what ya hit with wraith

balance has ra, he hits everyone, and does about 600-700 damage, 900 with enchantment alone i dont know about ya, but that seems fair to me

Ok, I have been reading the forums for some time but I am finding a lot of conflicting answers. I have a Balance wizard, level 56 and I curently have 10 training points that I have been saving for Celestia. However, I am unsure which school to go with. Which balance spells do the sun school damage enhancers work with?

Thanks in advance,
Adrian

I like the sun spells cause they boost your spells they are also good because if you are fighting a boss or minion thats fire for example, you can use mutate and turn a fire spell into a ice one and it boosts! :D

I have a legendary balance character and I use gargantuan a lot. I would recommend getting that series in the sun school. However you can't use it on nova, which is kind of a downer, but you only get gargantuan the same level you get ra and it is extremely useful :).

You can find the secret trainer in stormriven hall. If you open the map the trainer is behind a wall at the center north of the map. A quest sending you after "rubble" will bring you right beside the trainer if you are not to stormriven hall yet :)

Once you use mutate thunderbird, the card becomes storm school. Having a high level storm, I took fire all the way up to phoenix just to be able to use thunderbird :). I would suggest you to get up to kraken or wivern and get the mutate spell for fire kraken or fire wyvern, both are very very good damage per pip!

Why can't I use my strength enchantments on Scarecrow or Wraith? :(


For the same reason you can't use them on Super Nova. Its not a damage spell. If you look at the card you'll see a weird "S" instead of a fist. Strength enchantments can only be applied to damage spells.
Power Nova not Super Nova

Such a big part, in fact, that not a single spell listed by the Sun School Trainer consist of a single mutate ability. Oh yeah, that Cloak spell must be cloaked because you can't find that one as well.


Um I think Diego teaches a Cloak spell but I guess you have to be PVP captain or something like that
all you just need is a training point

Mutations - I must admit I'm disappointed in the way they turned out. How come the mutation spells don't mutate the card into the wizards primary school? I was really hopping to get frost shark or frost kraken for my ice wizard after struggling with the celestian ice elites with my necromancer the first time through. And now struggling with them with my diviner. Having a fire kraken that isn't a DoT for my pyromancer would be really helpful since immolate, a powerful 4 pip spell, isn't as useful in celestia like kraken is to my diviner.

I have a kind of strange question. Some of the treasure cards that we had BEFORE Celestia, are now spells we can learn there. Which, personally, I love. But my question is, how come some spells, aren't available from any trainer? Are they all going to eventually become regular spells? Because honesty, I hate using treasure cards except for to craft, and there are a few treasure cards, Sun School specifically, that would be really great if we could learn them, instead of having to use treasure cards. Specifically Simplify, and that type of spells. Thanks. :)

About sun spells. I just turned level 58, and have been saving 1 training point for the spell "Gangantuan." I go to the Sun giver, in celestia base camp, and it will not show up. I try to go to other sun spell givers, and i cannot find Gangantuan. Help?
