Throughout the Wiki, you may see arcane abbreviations such as "1E1N1?". Worse, you might see something like "1E1N1?(100 AEFW, 50 AEFW)". These are not attempts to shut you out of the game, but rather cunningly-wrought abbreviations intended to prevent someone from writing "one level in Earth, one level in Nature, plus an additional level of either Air, Earth, Fire or Water, plus a 50% chance of yet another level in either Air, Earth, Fire or Water." | Throughout the Wiki, you may see arcane abbreviations such as "1E1N1?".

Levels of holiness (or unholiness) are occasionally listed alongside the magic paths if the mage also happens to be a [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/ | Levels of holiness (or unholiness) are occasionally listed alongside the magic paths if the mage also happens to be a [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Units/Priest|priest]]. These are often omitted, however. | ||
Finally, many magic-using leaders in Dominions 3 have a certain random factor thrown in, which is represented by a question mark. So when you see "2E1N1?", it means two levels in [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Magic/The Paths of Magic#Earth|Earth]], one level in [[Dominions 3: The Awakening/Magic/The Paths of Magic#Nature|Nature]], and one level in some random path. | Finally, many magic-using leaders in Dominions 3 have a certain random factor thrown in, which is represented by a question mark.

The number is the percentile chance that an additional magic path will be granted, and the letters are the possible paths. Thus for this example, the mage ''will'' get an additional path or either Air, Earth, Fire or Water, and there is a 50/50 chance that they will get yet another level in one of those paths. | The number is the percentile chance that an additional magic path will be granted, and the letters are the possible paths.
