Magic (Spell Blade Online)

«Magic» (魔法) refers to the system in «Spell Blade Online» that allows players to cast spells for a variety of effects, including attacking other players and healing allies.

Overview
In Spell Blade Online's previous incarnation «ALfheim Online», spells were invoked using «Words of Power» (力の言葉) which are in a language that is similar to Old Norse, but is likely just derived from it. Each of these words has a specific meaning, thus similar spells share certain Words of Power. However, in Spell Blade Online, it was heavily simplified to just using certain invocations spoken in Japanese and a true spell release written and spoken in English in the lower tiers and Latin in the higher tiers.

There are a total of seven elements: Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Light, Dark, and Null.

Spell Mechanics
All spells used in Spell Blade Online follow the same pattern. Listed below is an example of the incantation used for spells, using the Tier-3 Light-elemental magic, «Shining Javelin», as a base. In Spell Blade Online, the tier of a magic is determined by the cast time between the completion of the chant and the actual release of the spell as well as how much MP is used for the spell.
