Here's how I got my [[magic]] up. Magic isn't like other skills to level up. It can get expensive for a newbie, so you should expect it to be slow and hard. Before I continue, I should tell you that I wasn't a servant of the magic god, [[Unolas]], until I was magic 44. A rough estimate I would say that if I wasn't serving him, I'd be magic 70, instead of 76. So serving him helps, but its not necessary. There are two main problems though for a pure newbie. Mana and essences (assuming you have all the sigils). | |||

My [[Fast Regeneration Cape|white cape]] is just for looks? Yes...but it serves a great use by regenerating my mana while I mix essences at storage. When I hit my mana cap, I "cast away" my mana with a spell solely for [[experience]], and in a few minutes, it regenerates. This is a great way to slowly train up your magic without even training in it. Right now, I have a maximum mana of 64, cast the [[True Sight Spell]] three times to get 1080 exp, and in 20 minutes, my 60 mana is replenished. It might seem slow, but do this over the course of your EL life, and the exp difference is massive. | My [[Fast Regeneration Cape|white cape]] is just for looks?

Just remember that you don't actually need healing or extra armor from shield. You're in it for the [[experience]]. Though, remote healing newbies (like me and lotsa others have) does increase your magic exp and makes newbies feel good. Remember that you're in it for the experience, not the "thank you"s! | |||

Cast | Cast restoration as much as you can. Even when you don't need it (I used this in my Fast Regen bit when I was younger). If you're PvPing or training A/D much, this is natural. Once you get the portal room spell, use it to go everywhere you can, but continue to cast restoration to 'train'. As for life drain, I didn't use it. But as its cheaper then restoration and teleport, it makes it more value for money. Finding a partner is very hard for this, but just remember that you don't really need a partner to cast it; cast it on an animal or monster (it will attack you so no [[bear]]s until you can handle it) to get the exp. To LD your partner, you need to be in a PK map. | ||

Magic Immunity is a spell I used a lot for slow training at storage. | Magic Immunity is a spell I used a lot for slow training at storage. Mana Drain shouldn't be ignored though, but this is only effective if you have plenty of mana or a partner. Getting to level 35/37 is slow, but I never said it was going to be easy! Once you're at that level, you can use magic potions to get lvl 40 to cast Mana Drain. For this, it's recommended you have a partner who can teach you how to mana drain. It costs 6 [[Air Essence]]s, so it's quite expensive, but the best thing about MD'ing is that it doesn't require [[Potion of Spirit Restoration|SR]]s if performed correctly. Don't ignore the greatness of teleport to portal room to zip around Draia. Note that you only have a 2 minute window of opportunity to cast Mana Drain under the potion effect so you'd need to bring a few of these, as well as Air Essences. Remember that you need to be in PK to MD with another player. | ||

Continue to MD with your partner(s) | Continue to MD with your partner(s) using the magic potion until you're lvl 40 (you don't require potions at this level but they help reduce spell fails). The fails will bug you but keep at it because things get better as you lvl up. Many people stop at magic lvl 49: the lvl where you stop failing casting restoration. This should be your main way to level up magic and with Unolas you can really see the difference with serving him (especially on a [[Special Days#Scholars Day|Scholars Day]]). Obviously you should still be casting restoration for AD/PK/PvP'ing, teleporting everywhere and mana draining passing small rodents. | ||
