The magic.methods subtree comprises the skills used in the stages of spells.
Usage
Each magic.methods skill describes a particular action associated with a stage of a spell. For example, the magic.methods.physical subtree describes physical actions (such as dancing or brewing), while the magic.methods.mental subtree describes cerebral actions (such as charming or cursing).
Application
Most of the skills under this tree are used to determine whether a particular spell succeeds or fails, based on a simple skillcheck against the relevant skill.
In some cases, however, the skill can also determine an aspect of the final effect of the spell.
- Endorphin's Floating Friend can float heavier shields with higher magic.methods.physical.binding. This does not affect block chance.
- Gammer Shorga's Helpful Undergrowth gains more vines with higher magic.methods.mental.animating.
- Mama Kolydina's Instant Infestation gains higher quality bugs with higher methods skills.
- Mother Twinter's Yarrow Enchantment increases the amount of enchantment imparted and the maximum enchantment level attainable with higher magic.methods.physical.enchanting.
- Offensive spells without a damage cap deal more damage with higher methods skills. The damage of an uncapped spell = ((offensive + average of methods) / 2) * damage multiplier.
Methods skills do not affect the casting time of a spell. Only the ma.sp skills do.
