Evocation

Evocation is the primary damage-dealing magic skill.

Introduction

Evocation is the first of five magic skills to be implemented. Sanctuary magic is being changed away from a jack-of-all-trades skill into five separate and distinctive skills in keeping with the other sets of combat, taming, and bard skills. Evocation's primary purpose is to deliver direct fire and energy damage. The system has 10 combat spells that scale to the player's skill level and a handful of role-play spells specifically intended for the role-play of Evocation.

Using

Spell damage 

.. is scaled upwards based on Evaluate Intelligence and Mana.

Targetting

Most of the spells in Evocation attack whichever mob is the player's current target. This target can be set either by double-clicking the mob, the mob's health bar, or using the .nexttarget dot command. This allows magic to be "single click" combat if the single click option is set in the client or a macro is configured.

Damage Scaling

Based on the spells skill range the damage of a spell will scale. If the range is 0 to 100, it will scale upwards starting at 0 skill and reaching maximum damage at 100 skill. If the range is 50 to 70, the spell is not castable until 50 skill, and the damage will skill up to maximum damage at 70 skill.
