The Spellbook

How the Spellbook works

• Pages. Your seven core skills stay. From level 4 you also build a Spellbook of pages: extra skills chosen from your class's list. There are 103 pages across the 14 classes.
• Page picks. At levels 4, 9, 14 and 18 the game offers up to 3 pages you don't own yet, and you take one. A class uses only as many picks as it can always fill with at least two choices, so a class with few pages has fewer picks.
• One mechanic per class. Your class's signature mechanic switches on with your first page, at level 4: Oathlight, the Grave, the Weave, Flux and the rest. Before then you play as you always did.
• Page mastery. A page skill gains a flat +30% power at rank 4 and rank 8, besides its variants.
• No book for sellswords. Hired sellswords never get a Spellbook; the pages are for your heroes.

Variants

• What a variant does. Every page has variants that change how it plays: a wider spiral, a burst at the end, a boss-killing single blow. They unlock at skill mastery ranks 2, 5 and 8.
• One at a time. Only one variant is active per page, chosen on the hero sheet's Spellbook tab, so one page can power different builds.

The class mentor

• A page you passed over can be bought from your class mentor for 30 gold × your level squared: 480 gold at level 4, 12,000 at level 20.
• The mentor only sells while every pick still to come keeps at least two choices. Changing class (possible only to level 5) forgets your pages and refunds what you paid the mentor; the confirm says so.

Every class's mechanic

Each class's page lists every Spellbook page with its variants. The mechanic, its talent and its chase legendary are on the same row.
