Honestly, i play mostly as mage in games cuz i wanna do things that i can’t do in real life and i can pratice with swords in real life. Magic on Conan universe is powerful, but is not power without risk or consequence. By this reason, sorcerers are or persecuted like on Aquilonian society or rulers, like White hand rules Hyperborean.
The developers made a really good work with magic on AoC, but on Conan Exiles, while players can summon a deity’s Avatar who is eqquivalent to a epic level divine magic in D&D, players can’t do anything similar to low tier arcane magic. There are skeletons on the game, but the player can’t create or command skeletons
About demonology.
Honestly, i think that demonology should be the more risk than on AoC, for example. How the Fires of Gehenna should work on Conan Exiles?
The player need to learn the spell from a demon, by bargaining with a demon or enslaving a demon
Takes 3 seconds to cast the spell
Moving or being hit increases the chance of failing
if the player fails to cast the spell, the flames will not disappear, will hit the caster
Trying to cast while starving, low health, wearing armor, etc will increase the change of failure
Now necromancy
In order to create undead and corrupt living, you need to first get corruption and spend corruption to corrupt the living
You need a specific building to create undead
Spells like ice strike Ice Strike should draw upon your own blood.
Necromancers should get specific necromancers weapons like a vampiric blade who draw enemy health
Yeah if Conan Exiles ever gets magic, ‘high risk high reward’ sounds like it would do the game justice. Learning spells from demons would be a splendid way to initiate this too
Yeah there are imps. They are not winged creatures like you would expect though. Never seen the succubus, but the skeletons are definitely real and dangerous.
Is the imp similar to aoc imp? Sorry for the low graphics, i was playing in a really old notebook without video card with linux + playonlinux and my desktop is under maintenance.
If there are imps on the game, that means that at least there are a chance to see demonology in the game. I hoppe that magic will be dangerous to fit Conan’s lore. The Succubus appears on print too.
You can have a army of humans… See at 20:40 on this video
ENSLAVING A SQUAD OF ARCHERS! BASE DEFENSES! - Conan Exiles [Full Release Gameplay E12]
I an not talking using then offensively. Have 50 undead or demons defending your fortress will not be easier than having 50 humans… And any demon stronger than a imp will the bard to obtain.
That’s right, but it’s the world of the legendary Conan the Barbarian, where magic can only be demanded by the exceptional wizards.
The argument is also that the character in which we play in the game is from a civilized city. In civilized cities, magic is used only by magicians from the “Black Circle”, it means that not every first, ordinary person can be a magician. In the game we are just the first better man who was condemned to extort for his crimes
But maybe you will rise to an extraordinary character when gaining levels. Only high levels characters with special skills should be able to practice necromancy. Nevertheless it should be a risky maneuver.
Conan universe is a low magic universe with very dangerous magic(some people confuse with no magic universe), sure, you are a ordinary person AT BEGINNING. But after a long time playing, you can summon a god’s avatar in human world… No ordinary person can fight hordes of skeletons, construct an citadel and have dozens of slaves. I an not saying that you should start the gcame able to summon a demon and easily bargain with him for magical knowledge.
A building to create undead or summon even a weak imp should’t be a thing that you can do at the starting of the game. But a guy who can summon a god avatar in human world be unable to summon a imp is just silly. Look to this video. No ordinary person can do this.
Summon a imp for this guy should be a piece of cake…
Avatars of gods, and impy is something else. It is also worth noting that in order to summon an avatar, one should have a high priest who is experienced in such things, the player is only a person who uses what the high priest created, he would not do it himself.
Kanbix, the guy just said that the sorcery in this game should have a high cost, so this makes clear that he want’s it to have the same or even more limitations that it’s required to summon a god.
