Sorcery Question- How do I cast Wall of Fire?

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-08T14:02:41.942Z

Greetings

I am still working through the new Sorcery content, I have not done a lot of internet research so far about this.

I learned the Wall of Fire spell, however when i pull up my wand to activate the Words of Power, I am not seeing the Wall of Fire spell.

Any assistance with this, would be most appreciated.

Follow Up- I just reviewed this page- Sorcery Spells Cost & Requirement – Wak Nation

And according to this, I should see 5 stones when I pull out my staff, but I am only seeing 3.
I am still a bit confused, and am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if my game is bugged.

I had same query - reading the WAK page I think we’re not seeing all the stones because we’re not at the level of corruption needed. e.g. Wall of Fire needs 20% - if you haven’t got that it doesnt show option.

I tried Sorcery some more yesterday.

I am at max corruption, so I really don’t know whats going on.

I have all the pouches in my inventory, and confirmed the spell in the Ancestral Knowledge tab.

How the process unfolds for me:

Equip Staff
Activate Staff, see 3 stones.
Selecting any of the initial 3 stones, reveals only 3 stones.

@Community
Could you please take a look at this, and confirm whether or not there is an issue with the Sorcery on the PlayStation platform?

I tried submitting a report using the new template… this was the result. Bug report is broken

Im not 100% sure right now, but I think you need to use the escalate option first, it like opens a new menu (and causes corruption). Think of it like proceeding in the option tree.

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-09T12:40:13.844Z

After selecting Escalte, I still only see 3 stones.

After some effort, I was able to submit a Bug Report.

ok give me a moment and I check this out myself. (need to go grab myself a sacrifice to get the corruption)
Another thing that I remember might be needed, was that you might need to have a circle of power built.

Admittedly I havent cast the spell myself but I have it unlocked.

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-09T12:43:05.281Z

Circle of Power has been built as well.

After escalate, wall of fire is the rightmost option out of the 3 stones. It says summon lava.

ps. This was more awkward than it needed to be, cause after my first sacrifice I stood too close to an entertainer, got aroused and lost the corruption lol Had to go get another one…

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-09T13:20:48.621Z

hmmm I will have to test this again when I get home later today.

did you only see 3 stones?

In the images on the Wak reference page, it displayed 5 stones.

I wonder if this is being displayed differently for PC and Consoles.

Rollotomozi:

Yes. There was only three stones for me. I have not unlocked everything yet.
But if youre after the wall of fire, try reading the descriptions to check if its one of the spells given…

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-09T13:42:58.373Z

@Smoketreader

Thank you for testing things, and sharing the information.

I will have to do some more testing myself later today.

@Caroll
Could you please take a look at the information here, https://waknation.com/sorcery-spells-cost-requirement/ and verify whether or not the PC and Console versions are working slightly differently for Sorcery casting?

Xevyr · 2022-09-09T14:08:18.430Z

That looks right.
I think you simply missed the stone.
Basically you need at least 20% of your HP to be corrupted, then select the rightmost stone… then escalate it then select the right one again just like Smoketreader pointed out above… to simplify you select the rightmost stone all the time.

However, don’t get overly enthusiastic that is literally the most underwhelming spell from all of them so you didn’t miss much…
It’s exactly as it looks on the picture above… they’re essentially palisades… they appear as a solid object you cannot walk through and if you go near it they do like 5 damage just like palisades It is more likely aimed at PvP to block off easy access to certain parts… maybe hold the door a bit longer etc… it’s entirely useless in PvE, NPCs simply walk around it.

@Xevyr
This is looking more and more like user error on my part.

Thanks for the input.

If you mean here, I wonder if the wak page is written using information from testlive; and the UI may have changed between testlive and live.
https://waknation.com/sorcery-spells-cost-requirement/
It probably has. I hope it is not because certain spells aren’t available…

Once I have researched everything, I will know more.
So far I havent noticed the conceal corruption spell, which I would very much like to have…

Nah, it’s all there Someone was asking about the conceal corruption yesterday so I made them a short clip, so I can literally show you how it works if you want
here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaG15UC5Ix4
It’s a semi-permanent toggle, doesn’t get removed on death or have any sort of timer attached, you cast the same spell again to turn it off.
And all of the spells on that page seem to be in the game (I have finished my research yesterday)

Rollotomozi · 2022-09-12T12:48:15.791Z

After further testing over the weekend, I can confirm that it was a misunderstanding on my part, and that I was able to cast Wall of Fire successfully.
