Spellblade
|
In Sands of Aura Spellblade is a unique battle mechanic, augmenting your weapon attacks, blocking and dodging with a magical effect based on five different elements. Spellblade can directly influence your combat style and allows the player to utilize a variety of unique effects like dealing additional damage-over-time, chained attacks, short teleportation and strong crowd control abilities.
Spellblade can be learned via elemental Tomes that are found throughout the world of Talamhel. Upon completing the Main Story Quest Well Run Dry, Spellblade elements can be upgraded by talking to Seldom, The Rune Carver, situated on the merchant strip on Starspire Refuge.
Spellblade comes in the form of charges, up to four charges can be held at any moment - the Spellslinger Talisman can be used to increase the limit by an additional two. Spellblade charges are gained when using Special Attacks, each increment of Corruption will generate one charge. A fully charged Special Attack can therefore fill up all charges.
Spells can be ranked up to level 40. The first upgrade costs 
500 and increases by an additional 500 for every subsequent rank - in addition to that, there are two thresholds at which the upgrade costs increase once again by an additional 500. Upgrading an element from rank 1 to 40 costs 522.500.
