Combat Effects - These are the various effects that scriptures can apply to various targets, adding greater versatility to their magics. Certain effects, known as “combo-effects” require additional steps in order to occur. This is typically done by inflicting an initial effect beforehand, or increasing the casting time or required components of a spell to compensate.
Please refer to The Universal Combat Effects section to view these.
Multi-Turn Scriptures - These spells require focus. Any spell that requires you to cast over multiple turns will consume as many actions as it requires. During these moments, you may not cast another spell or perform other actions. Unless specified otherwise, the caster may still move.
