Balance School
The Balance School will train its student wizards to be effective in group play. Balance Wizards are most effective in group play because they have the ability to buff other players as well as themselves. Although effective in group-play, they can still sufficiently play alone. They have a little bit of everything, which allows them to surpass most monster resistances, heal themselves a little bit, and buff players.
It draws on elements from each of the other schools, incorporating bits and pieces of those other energies to fill in the spaces between the Schools. Wizards that embrace the School of Storm, known as Diviners , are driven by the thrill of investigation and discovery, the joys of invention and ingenuity, the power of creating and building.
The element of mysticism in the series adds a touch of intrigue and excitement. Nora Roberts expertly weaves elements of witchcraft, spells, and supernatural occurrences into the storyline, giving the novels an enchanting and otherworldly feel. Readers are transported into a realm where magic is real and anything is possible.
Schools
There are 7 Schools of Magic in Wizard 101, which are:
When you Create a Character you can only choose one school to be in. Your character can never change schools, but all spells from your school are FREE to learn.
You can only train in spells from other schools at the cost of Training Points.
Three new secondary schools of magic, the Schools of Stars, the Moon, and the Sun released with Celestia.
SUN SCHOOL Sun school is about power. Adding power and accuracy to your spells is the purpose of this school. All of the spells are mutate and enchantment spells. Some spells add damage and accuracy while others change the form of your spells. One spell turns a normal Kraken card to an Inferno Kraken card.
MOON SCHOOL Moon magic is about transformation and change. Moon magic introduces the new effect of polymorphing which changes the player. Polymorphs change the player into new creatures entirely. Not only does it change the caster's form but it also swaps his/her spell deck out for that of one of the creature's school. That included the player also inherits the creature's strengths and weaknesses. Such as if you change to a storm creature they gain boosts to their storm damage and resistance but also they boost their opponents myth damage.
STAR SCHOOL Star spells are similar to sun spells. They do add power and accuracy in some of their spells but Star spells deal with a new magic called auras. Auras are a form of buffer. Auras cannot be stacked like other buffers though, you can only have one aura in use at a time. Aura effects vary in many ways. Some auras add damage or accuracy while some convert incoming damage spells into pips or increase the chance to have or block a critical attack.
Storm Magic is all about creativity. It represents that flash of insight, or the spark of inspiration that makes you yell, "Eureka!" It is about the pleasure of catching lightning in a bottle. Wizards that embrace the School of Storm, known as Diviners, are driven by the thrill of investigation and discovery, the joys of invention and ingenuity, the power of creating and building. The drawback to such pursuits is the tendency to get lost in the maze of thoughts and being paralyzed to make a decision. Diviners use Verses to charm, enthrall or hypnotize creatures to help them.
Another engaging aspect of the Mystic Witch series is the strong sense of sisterhood and community. The three witches, despite their different personalities and backgrounds, form a deep bond and rely on each other for support and guidance. Roberts explores the power of female friendships and the importance of finding strength in unity. Overall, the Mystic Witch series by Nora Roberts is a captivating and magical journey that will transport readers to a world of love, self-discovery, and enchantment. With its richly developed characters, thrilling plot twists, and elements of mysticism, this series is a must-read for fans of romance, fantasy, and the supernatural..
