Arcanists/Arcane Book

From FunOrb Wiki

This page is for objective, encyclopaedic content. There is a separate forum page to discuss tactics and strategy.

The arcane book is the most basic spellbook, with no level 3 spells, and no familiar. It is also the only free-player spellbook with offensive spells that cannot harm the caster.

[edit] Spells

Some spells do Arcane damage. This heals imps and the arcane tower, and doesn't damage the caster. Arcane spells/damage are not to be confused with arcane minions, which simply means the minions cannot be zombified.

Icon Spell Level Type Number of Charges Charge Time Initial/Recharge Destruction Radius Maximum Damage Description
Image:Arcane arrow.png Arcane Arrow 1 Arrow Infinite 0/1 Small 10x4 Arcane Fires four arrows.
Image:Arcane Bomb.PNG Arcane Bomb 2 Arrow/Bomb Infinite 0/1 Medium 10x4 Arcane A bomb which explodes as a 10 damage Arcane Flash and then releases three Arcane Arrows which always start by going upwards.
Image:Arcane tower.png Arcane Tower 1 Tower Infinite 0/5 Small 25hp Initial hit points: 25. Maximum hit points: 100. Buffed by arcane damage. Will "gate" with the caster.
Image:Arcane Energiser.PNG Arcane Energiser 2 Personal Infinite 0/5 N/A N/A Powers up each part of the caster's Arcane attacks by 5 damage for 5 turns.
Image:Arcane gate.png Arcane Gate 1 Targeted Infinite 0/5 N/A N/A Teleports the Arcanist to the target position.
Image:Arcane Portal.PNG Arcane Portal 2 Targeted Infinite 0/5 N/A N/A Creates a two-way portal which will teleport one Arcanist, small minion (no larger than an Arcanist), or small object (projectiles such as a Comet, Meteor, or an expanded Mega Boulder, Flame Walls and Thundershock are also excluded) per turn. Only one may be active at a time.
Image:Summon imps.png Summon Imps 1 Minion Infinite 0/5 N/A N/A Summons 3 imps. Imps are healed by arcane damage.
Image:Imp Destruction.PNG Imp Destruction 2 Targeted/Arena Infinite 0/1 Small-Massive Total health of all imps (theoretical max 6000 or 9000 with Arcane Energizer) All imps in the game first do an extremely low power arcane flash, then are converted into a number of arcane arrows proportional to each's individual health. Unfortunately, they perish in the process.
Image:Arcane glyph.png Arcane Glyph 1 Personal 4 0/1 Small 10x10 Arcane Creates a ring of 10 glyphs around the caster.
Image:Arcane Sigil.PNG Arcane Sigil 2 Targeted 4 0/1 Small 10x3 Arcane Creates a triangle of three Arcane Glyphs at a selected location.
Image:Arcane flash.png Arcane Flash 1 Personal Infinite 0/1 Large 15 Arcane High knockback and land destruction.
Image:Arcane Zero Shield.PNG Arcane Zero Shield 1 Arena (Automatic) N/A N/A N/A N/A This prevents all casting of damaging spells for the first turn of the game. However, you may use Den of Darkness or the Swarm minion, both dealing 15 damage each; you may also use the Water Troll summon spell which will do 5 damage per troll if they hit a player.

[edit] Minions

Icon Minion Initial health Maximum health Spells Number of Charges Charge Time Initial/Recharge Maximum Damage Spell Description
Image:Summon imps.png Imp 10 250 Banish 1 0/- N/A Kills the imp, doesn't end the player's turn. May not be done more than once per turn.
Self Destruct 1 0/- Imp's current health (Arcane) Causes the imp to explode, dealing damage equal to its health to all players and minions in an area of radius proportional to its health. This damage buffs Arcane Towers and Imps but damages the imp's owner (unlike other Arcane damage).

[edit] Trivia

  • Mod Thomas, as creator of Arcanists, is the size of a cyclops and starts with 500 hp. He also gets healed by arcane damage, and he only uses arcane. However, he has much, much more powerful versions. He also gets reduced damage from spells as if he had a stone familiar.
  • Any spell generating Arcane Arrows generates around 10 of them. They also travel much faster in the beginning of their flight.
  • His imps start with 100 hp.
  • He also has a unique spell that works like Arcane Flash, but any Arcane Tower caught in the radius is destroyed, generating their hp in Arcane Arrows, which go straight up, possibly hitting someone when they come back down.
  • His arcane glyph creates more glyphs and has a higher area.
  • He has a beam of light shining on him from the top-left of the map. In the J-mods Arcanists wallpaper Mod Thomas is seen with with one of the Arch Mage wands, so a possible explanation is that this is one of the "powers" which are granted by the Arch Mage achievement[1].
  • With him in the battle, all the scenery turns purple.
