Wizardry: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:03, 2 December 2020

Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Wizardry refers to items and effects that directly reduce your chance of failure when casting spells. These are provided by rings and staves of wizardry.

In addition, Vehumet provides a wizardry-like reduction of failure rate (by 1/3) to destructive spell for sufficiently pious worshippers. This bonus stacks with wizardry from other sources^[1].

Note that in no case can failure rate of a spell be reduced by better than half using wizardry.

History

Prior to 0.25, potion of brilliance provided a temporary wizardry bonus.
Prior to 0.14, staff of wizardry granted a better wizardry bonus than a ring of wizardry.

-All of these sources stack but very weakly; the first 3 points of wizardry are about as good as the next 9. In no case can failure rate be reduced by better than half using wizardry. Notice that a potion of brilliance will reach the one-half cap by itself.
