Best Gear & Spells for a Mage | Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon

Early Game Goodies

In the Cuanacht region, you’ll find most of the top-tier items for a mage build, but there are still valuable finds in the Horns of the South region as well. To kick off your adventure, we suggest heading to the Tomb of the Good Druid, located in the northern part of the region first.

As a gamer, I’d say: Delve deep into the dungeon, crack open that chest at the end, and lo and behold, there it is – the Battlemage armor set! This set enhances my Max Mana, Mana Regeneration, Spell Power, and Magic Critical Chance. Wearing all pieces in the early game significantly amplifies my spellcasting power!

It’s recommended to delve into the western part of the Horns of the South, known as the Abandoned Stronghold, for some intriguing spells. There, you might discover the potent ‘Scorching Flare’ and ‘Storm Whip’, which can be quite useful on your journey all the way to Cuanacht.

Choosing the Amulet of the Waning Moon can be a wise decision right now, but keep in mind that it doesn’t have a fixed location. Instead, you’ll obtain it after interacting with four Druidic Shrines scattered across the Horns of the South. This interaction will prove beneficial as the amulet enhances Spell Power, Magic Critical Chance, and Max Mana by 10%.

In conclusion, don’t forget to grab the Blood Transfusion spell, located right in the heart of the blood lake, specifically in the southeastern corner of the Horns of the South. We included it among our top 25 potent early-game items for a solid reason! The heavy cast’s life drain is incredibly helpful for maintaining your health.

Get the Spellgorger Wand

When you arrive at Canacth, your primary objective should be to secure the immensely potent Spellgorger wand. You can locate this artifact on the summit of a tower within the polluted Temple, situated in the northwestern part of the region. If you require assistance finding its precise location, we have a comprehensive guide available for that purpose.

One of the reasons why the Spellgorger stands out as an exceptional piece of equipment for mages is due to its unique abilities. Specifically, it significantly boosts your Spell Power but simultaneously raises your Mana Costs as well. Before any enhancements, here are its basic stats:

This version maintains the original’s meaning and readability while using simpler language and a more conversational tone.

  • 31-35 Damage
  • 17 SP
  • 50 Block
  • Requires 8 Spirituality
  • Increases Mana Cost by 50%.
  • Increases Spell Power by 75%.

To enhance it, you’ll require Meteorite Ores. You can discover them while adventuring or buy them from Beor and Erfyr, who are blacksmiths located within the city of Cuanacht itself. Once you’ve fulfilled their quest, they will sell the ore to you.

Remember, enhancing the item will not only boost its other attributes but also enhance the Mana Cost effect. If you find the current 50% demanding on your Mana reserves, consider this as a heads-up. However, the good news is that Spell Power will also receive an uptick!

Life Transfusion

In the Cuanacht region, a noteworthy addition to our previous mention of the Blood Transfusion spell in Horns of the South is the Life Transfusion charm. Essentially, you could consider this an upgraded variant of the Blood Transfusion spell. You can acquire the Life Transfusion spell by scavenging it from the outskirts of the Derelict Amphitheater, as indicated on your map. Alternatively, you might stumble upon it while exploring the Corrupted Temple.

Regardless of how you look at it, the enchantment functions very similarly to a Blood Transfusion prior to it. However, its key advantage lies in being significantly stronger overall, which makes its Hefty Cast not only beneficial but also effective for both healing and causing damage simultaneously.

Horned Warden’s Amulet

If you found the Amulet of the Waning Moon appealing, then the Horned Warden’s Amulet is definitely worth considering as well. Much like the Amulet of the Waning Moon, this amulet can be obtained by interacting with four distinct Druidic Shrines situated within the Cuanacht region. The map provided here highlights their exact locations for your convenience.

In essence, the Horned Warden’s Amulet surpasses the Amulet of the Waning Moon significantly. It enhances your Spell Power, Magic Critical Chance, and Max Mana by 15%. This enhancement is 5% greater than that of the other amulet, which is quite advantageous!

Must-Have Skills

To wrap things up, let’s delve into the essential Skills for a mage in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon that complement our current arsenal. Here are my top picks:

1. Mastery of Runes – Enhances your magical prowess with runic spells.
2. Arcane Conduit – Boosts the effectiveness of spellcasting, making you a formidable force on the battlefield.
3. Mystic Empowerment – Strengthens your magical abilities, allowing for more potent and devastating spells.
4. Enchanted Adept – Increases the range and power of your spells, giving you an edge in combat.
5. Arcane Resonance – Empowers nearby allies with a portion of your own magic, making them more effective in battle.

  • Spirituality, Wands & Cubes – Everything in this section of the tree is worthwhile. We primarily recommend focusing on Arcane Conduit, Wand Mastery, and Energy Feedback Loop. These will boost your Spellgorger’s potency while also giving you a chance to recover Mana to offset the increased costs.
  • Spirituality, General & Buffs – Get Mana Battery, Invigorating Energy, Sorcerer’s Efficiency, and Eldritch Desperation in that order. These will be great for survivability, with Eldritch Desperation also giving a massive Spell Power buff when you’re low on Mana.
  • Spirituality, Combat – Get Arcane Teachings, Imbibed by the Elements, and Elemental Shock first. Then, work towards Impactful Spellcasting and Arcane Mark on the center bottom of the skill tree.
  • Perception, Critical Hits – Last but not least, you want to use this skill tree to boost your Critical Hit Chance. This works particularly well in tandem with Sorcerer’s Efficiency. Get Extra Lucky and Critical Cascade first. Then work towards maxing out Extra Lucky.

Regarding your attributes, it’s best to concentrate primarily on spiritual growth until you’ve mastered all the significant abilities listed earlier. Afterward, give a slight enhancement to Perception, and then redirect your focus entirely back to nurturing your spirituality.

Here it is! These are the top equipment and magic spells that an ideal mage should strive for in Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. Of course, there’s much more to discover as enhancements, but these should assist you in mastering your magical prowess swiftly.
