Magical Feats are a new feature introduced with the release of DR 3.0. They provide a wide range of passive enhancements and bonuses to make using mana, spells, scrolls, cambrinth, and other magical items easier.

Summary

  • Magic feats are passive bonuses you can purchase with spell slots.
  • Magic Primary and Secondary guilds receive free feats (two and one respectively) appropriate to their guild.
  • Each ability costs one spell slot and has prerequisites.
  • You can buy as many as you'd like.
  • You can unlearn feats at a trainer for a cost. Syntax is ASK <trainer> ABOUT FORGETTING <feat name>.
  • You may STUDY <trainer> for the syntax of what to ask.

You look <trainer> over, realizing they have knowledge of magical feats and can likely answer all of your questions.

[You can ASK <trainer> ABOUT FEAT to learn about magical feats in general]
[You can ASK <trainer> ABOUT <feat name> to learn about it - NOTE you must spell it exactly!]
[You can ASK <trainer> ABOUT LEARNING <feat name> to learn that feat]
[You can ASK <trainer> ABOUT FORGETTING <feat name> to forget that feat]

Choosing Feats

Feats are gained by learning them from an NPC Feat Trainer.

There are four feat trainers in Elanthia, all of whom teach all of the feats. They are located in Asemath Academy, on the streets of Riverhaven and Ratha, and out near Boar Clan.
