Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye/Spells

Casting spells is an ability exclusive to druid and bard champions in Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye. To cast magic, players must select a specific set of runes and combine them with an elemental property to invoke their effects. Once the incantation succeeds, the spell can be used on the intended target within range. Note that weather conditions and energy rune levels dictate how far a spell is able to travel.

Despite its advantages, spell casting is limited by mana consumption and prevents users from taking other actions during the turn phase. Mana is restored by resting in and out of battle. Champions with high dexterity are able to aim their spells more accurately or dodge them entirely.

Runes

Runes are physical mediums used for casting spells. In the hands of a low-leveled magic user, they are likely to break easily and will require a month to be replaced. Stone runes, while rare in number, are unbreakable and can only be found by recruiting certain champions or exploring different areas repeatedly.
