There are various magic spells. Magic can be used by anyone using one-time spell scrolls or by magicians using runes that can be re-used as often as one likes, but which runes can be used depends on the magic circle the player has. Both methods drain the player's mana. Mana can be restored with potions of magic energy, eating dragon root/raven herbs/stone root/dark herbs or by sleeping. See also mana and magic skills/training.
There are three types of spells: normal, chargeable and investment spells.
- Normal spells like teleportation require a set amount of mana. If the player fails to put in the required amount of mana, nothing will happen. (but any mana that was put in will be gone)
- Chargeable spells like Fireball have a maximum amount of mana that can be put into them, but it's possible cast the spell with less mana. In that case it will do less damage.
- Investment spells like Pyrokinesis have an effect that will last as long as the player casts it. The duration is only limited by the amount of mana the player has.
For a list of magic runes, spell scrolls and locations check the list of magic items.

According to the in-game description this spell does 20 magic damage per mana and consumes up to 5 mana. This should work out to 100 magic damage for a fully charged ball of lightning, but a fully charged ball will deal only 80 magic damage. This 80 damage does consume 5 mana.
Useful against: Bloodfly, Scavenger, Molerat, Lizard, Wolf, Goblin (with club), Biter, Black Goblin (1 ball)
Bloodhound, Goblin Warrior, Snapper, Minecrawler, Orcdog, Lurker, Fire Golem (2 balls)

Useful against: grumpy NPCs
Telekinesis[edit]
- ✔ Rune ✔ Scroll ✖ Chargeable ✔ Investment
Allows you to move an item like a weapon or scroll. Can be used to draw items that are out of reach towards the player. Can not be used on enemies and is useless in combat. Sometimes useful to draw an item towards the player past some enemies, avoiding a fight.
Fourth circle of magic[edit]
Control[edit]
- ✔ Rune ✔ Scroll ✖ Chargeable ✖ Investment
Requires at least 30 mana to equip, but can drain much more.
Allows you to take control of a human NPC. Doesn't work on immortal characters like Diego. It will take 4 mana per level of the target character.
- Mud is actually level 0 and can be taken over without costing you any mana.
- A level 2 digger can be taken over quickly with just 8 mana.
- An unnamed shadow (level 5) can be taken over with 20 mana.
- Gor Na Ran (Heavy Templars Armor 70 10 35 ) takes 68 mana.
- Blade (who has Heavy Mercenary's Armor 70 10 35 ) will take 72 mana to take over.
- An unnamed guard (found on top of the huts in the old camp) with the Heavy Guard's Armor 70 10 35 (which was previously believed to be unattainable without cheats) is level 20. It'll take 80 mana to control one.
- Rodriguez is level 25, so 100 mana.
- Bartholo (level 70, Robe of State 72 7 36 3 ), Scar/Arto (level 80, Heavy Ore Baron's Armor 80 8 40 3 ) and Gomez (level 100, Gomez Armor 85 9 42 3 , though Gomez is initially immortal) could theoretically be taken over if you had 70*4=280, 80*4=320 mana and 100*4=400 mana. These levels are probably not attainable without cheats.
If you press enter, you return to being yourself. Don't wander away too far. Killing or getting killed also seems to return you to being yourself.
There is a trick to obtain many kinds or armor with this spell. You can't open your inventory while controlling another NPC, but there is a workaround. For example, cast control on Gor Na Drak. Now find an animal carcass or a dead/knocked out human. (you may want to make sure there is one nearby before casting control..) Try to loot/harvest it, but instead of actually doing so, browse through "your" inventory and drop (use+down) your armor, weapons and whatever else you'd like to have. Switch back to Nameless and pick up the gear, simple as that. This way you can aquire Gor Na Drak's heavy templar armor (no matter which camp you joined) and his King's blade.
