Aspectual Magic

Aspectual Magic is the main school of spells in Tensura: Reincarnated, with 74 spells across 15 elements and types, from Fire and Fire Ball to Barrier, Healing, Thunder and Warp Portal. You'll learn spells from Magic Tomes found in Wizard Tower chests or sold by Dwarf Magic Trainers, and learning one costs no Maximum Magicule, only learn points. Every spell is cast by holding its key for its full cast time, which you can't do underwater or while Silenced unless the spell is mastered and Chant Annulment, Analyst, Great Sage or Seeker is switched on, and some spells need an earlier one mastered first.

Aspectual Magic is the main school of spells in Tensura: Reincarnated, with 74 spells split across 15 elements and types, from attacks like Fire Ball and Thunder to Healing and Warp Portal. You’ll learn them from Magic Tomes, they cost Magicule to cast, and every one of them is cast by holding its key for a few seconds before it goes off.

Magic will sit alongside your skills rather than replacing them, so any race is able to learn it, and unlike skills, it won’t cost you anything from your Maximum Magicule to learn. The other two schools, which are Spiritual magic from spirits and Summoning magic, have pages of their own, Spiritual Magic and Summoning Magic.

How to Get Magic

Using a Magic Tome will teach you the spell that’s written on it, so you’ll need to hold right-click for at least half a second and then let go. The spell arrives in its learning state, so you’ll still need to put it in a slot and press it until it reaches 100 learn points, and each of those presses costs twice the spell’s normal Magicule.

A Magic Tome

Magic Tomes come from Wizard Tower chests and from Dwarves, and each kind of tower leans toward its own element. Every tower’s chests are also able to hold the rare epic tomes, which have the biggest spells in them, like Explosion, Hypnos and Reincarnation.

Magic Tomes by Wizard Tower
Tower Elements Found There
Ruined Wizard TowerWind, Lightning and Space, like Wind Cutter, Thunder and Warp Portal
Burnt Wizard TowerFire, plus Analyze, Flight and Doppelganger
Frozen Wizard TowerWater, Ice and Recovery, like Icicle Lance, Ice Wall and Full Recovery
Buried Wizard TowerEarth, Gravity and Barrier magic, like Stone Shot and Anti-Magic Area
Rotted Wizard TowerEnhancement, Illusion and Necromancy, like Strength, Mirage and Curse

All five towers are also able to give you Dominate, Mental Crush and Demon Dominate from their rare tomes, so mental magic will turn up everywhere. If you’re after one element, it’s worth finding the tower that matches it rather than looting whichever one is closest to you.

Buying Tomes From Dwarves

A Dwarf Magic Trainer will sell Magic Tomes at every level, picking a random spell from a set list for each trade, and it’ll buy tomes that you don’t want for 10 Silver Coins each. The magic trainer’s chests in a Dwarf Village hold the same early tomes, along with the odd Grimoire (D) and Unbound Tome.

Dwarf Magic Trainer Tomes
Trainer Level Spells on Offer Price
NoviceBasic elements like Fire, Water, Wind Cutter and Earth Wall, or Float, Burden, Freeze and Icicle Lance20 to 100 Silver Coins
ApprenticeMud Hand, Fire Lance, Sleep Mist, Thunder Lance, Ice Wall, Escape, Warp Portal, Healing or FlightSilver or 1 to 10 Gold Coins
JourneymanStone Shot, Fire Ball, Fire Storm, Water Jail, Tornado Blade, Thunder, Ice Blizzard, Barrier or Strength5 to 15 Gold Coins
Expert and MasterThe same high spells, plus Full Recovery10 to 30 Gold Coins

Once you’ve mastered a spell, a Spellbinding Table will turn an Unbound Tome into a copy of it, which is how you’d share a spell with a friend. A few skills are also able to copy a spell straight from its projectile when it’s cast near you, like Great Sage‘s Analysis mode, Seeker and Usurper.

Daemons Learn Magic for Free

If you’re playing as a Daemon, you’ll get a whole list of spells for free each time your race evolves, from Fire and Escape as a Lesser Daemon up to Chain Explosion and Anti-Magic Area as a Devil Lord. They’ll arrive in their learning state like any other spell, so you’ll still have to press them until they’re learned.

Casting Aspectual Magic

To cast a spell, you’ll need to hold its key and keep holding it until the cast time shown above your hotbar finishes, and then let go. While you’re casting, you’re slowed to a quarter of your normal speed and your reach drops a lot, and only one spell is able to charge at a time.

Bind Your Spells

Your 3 ability slots will fill up fast once you know a dozen spells. Binding them to a Magic Staff or Grimoire lets you carry up to 7 more, and it leaves your slots free for skills.

You won’t be able to start casting underwater or while you’re Silenced, and the Anti-Magic effect will stop these spells completely. The one exception is an instant cast, which happens when the spell is mastered and you have a skill like Great Sage, Analyst, Seeker or Chant Annulment switched on, as the spell will then fire the moment you press it.

Magic Staffs and Grimoires will add chant speed, which makes every cast time shorter, and the Magicule they store pays for your spells before your own pool does. The Mana Manipulation skill cuts what your spells cost as well, by 10%, or by 20% once it’s mastered, though a few big spells like Explosion and Dominate can never be instant cast at all.

Mastery and Prerequisites

Each spell has a tier, which decides how much mastery it needs, with 100 for Low spells, 300 for Medium, 700 for High and 1,500 for Great. Mastering a spell will make it stronger or faster to cast, and any spell with more than one mode keeps its extra modes locked until it’s mastered.

Some spells can’t be learned until an earlier spell is mastered, either, as the learn points just won’t go in until then. Fire Ball needs Fire, Icicle Rain and Ice Breaker need Icicle Lance, Thunder Orb and Thunder Rain need Thunder, and Healing leads on to Recovery and then Full Recovery.

Attack Spells

These are the spells that deal damage, and they’re grouped by element. Costs are in Magicule and cast times are before any chant speed, and the High and Great spells cost a lot more, so you’ll want a big Magicule pool before you start relying on them.

Fire, Earth and Explosion Spells
Spell Tier Magicule Cast What It Does
FireLow1502sA bolt for 20 magic and 10 fire damage that sets targets alight, three bolts when mastered
Fire LanceLow1,0002.5sA lance for 50 magic and 20 fire damage, with a repeating mode

Chain ExplosionGreat80,0007sThree explosions for 200 damage each, 300 when mastered

Explosion will charge a level every 2.5 seconds, and it needs open sky above its target to work. If you want to get it all the way up to level 10, you’ll need it mastered, a full 25 second charge and 550,000 Magicule, and it earns you a hidden advancement when you do it.

Ice, Water, Wind and Lightning Spells
Spell Tier Magicule Cast What It Does
Icicle LanceLow8502.5sA lance for 40 magic damage, with a rapid-fire mode
Ice WallMedium8,0003sA wall that hurts and Chills anything touching it, an ice box around a mob when mastered

Thunder OrbHigh20,0006sA slow orb that zaps everything within 5 blocks every half second
Thunder RainGreat70,0008sA storm cloud that follows you for 30 seconds, striking for 300

Thunder is worth knowing about for its 1 second cast, which is by far the fastest of the big damage spells, so it’s easy to land in a fight. Dimension Cutter, which is a Space spell, will also pass through blocks for 50 damage, or 100 when it’s mastered, so you’re able to hit targets behind cover with it.

Defense and Support Spells

Barriers will soak up damage, enhancement spells buff you or an ally for 2 minutes at a time, and recovery spells heal you. If you hold Shift while you cast an enhancement or Lighten spell, it will go on the target you’re looking at instead of on yourself.

Barrier, Enhancement and Recovery Spells
Spell Tier Magicule What It Does
Magic WallLow400A shield ahead of you that slows anything crossing it and weakens magic projectiles
BarrierMedium5% of Max MagiculeCuts physical damage you take for 10 seconds, 20 when mastered
Magic BarrierMedium5% of Max MagiculeCuts magic damage you take for 10 seconds, 20 when mastered
Reinforced BarrierMedium5% of Max MagiculeBoth barriers at once for 30 seconds
Anti-Shock AreaHighNoneCaps physical hits at 1 damage for everyone inside for 2 minutes
Anti-Magic AreaHighNoneStops aspectual magic inside it for 60 seconds
StrengthMedium4,000Strength III for 2 minutes, 10 when mastered
AgilityMedium3,000Speed III and Haste III for 2 minutes
ProtectionMedium4,000+20 armor for 2 minutes
ReinforcementMedium4,000Your gear loses 75% less durability for 2 minutes
HealingMedium100 per health healedHeals 50 health on you or the target you’re looking at
Healing RainMediumNoneA healing rain around you for 5 seconds
RecoveryHigh100 per health healedHeals half your health and some hunger
Full RecoveryHigh100 per health healedHeals you fully with Absorption V for 2 minutes
AntidoteMediumNoneCures Poison, Nausea and Weakness

Anti-Shock Area, Anti-Magic Area, Healing Rain and Antidote don’t take any Magicule when they’re cast in this version, and neither do Float and Burden, though they still have cast times and cooldowns. The healing spells will charge you for what they actually heal, with Healing costing at least 1,000 and Full Recovery at least 30,000.

The three barrier spells all cost 5% of your Maximum Magicule, so they’ll cost you more as your pool grows, whereas the enhancement spells have a set price. That makes the barriers a lot cheaper early on than they will be later in the game, when your Magicule is much higher.

Utility Spells

The rest of Aspectual Magic is for getting around, controlling mobs and scouting. Warp Portal and Escape are the travel spells that most players will pick up first, as Escape takes you back to a point you marked earlier, up to 500 blocks away in the same dimension.

Space, Gravity, Mental, Illusion and Other Spells
Spell Tier Magicule What It Does
EscapeLow800Marks a spot, then teleports you back to it within 500 blocks
Warp PortalMedium50 per block traveledOpens the warp menu and teleports you to a saved point

Flame WallMedium1,000An illusion of a fire wall that pushes mobs back
PossessionGreat100,000Moves your soul into a weakened body
Analyze, Clairvoyance, Search EnemyLow10 to 100Scouting spells for analysis, zooming and finding hostiles
Flight, Healthcare, DoppelgangerLow and MediumVariesShort flight, slow healing, and clones that share your Magicule
Water, Drainage, Wind Gust, Earth Lock, LiquidizeLow20 to 250Placing and removing water, wind charges and turning ground soft or solid

Dominate, Demon Dominate and Demon Marionette all work in the same way, and the only difference between them is how strong a mob they’re able to take control of. You’ll want to check a mob’s EP before you try one, as it won’t work on anything above its limit.

Reincarnation is a Low spell from the epic tomes that resets your race, at the cost of a quarter of your Maximum Aura and Magicule, and the reincarnation page explains it in full. Mastering a few of the utility spells will also unlock a skill each, as you can see in the table below.

Spells That Unlock Skills
Master This Spell To Unlock This Skill
AnalyzeAnalytical Appraisal
ClairvoyanceFarsight
Warp PortalSpatial Motion
DoppelgangerBody Double
PossessionPossession

You’ll get the skill on top of the spell, so it’s worth mastering these five once you’ve learned them. That’s the next step once the rest of your magic is in place, as each of them will give you something new to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you learn magic?
›

You’ll need to use a Magic Tome by holding right-click with it, and then press the new spell from an ability slot until it reaches 100 learn points. Tomes come from Wizard Tower chests and Dwarf Magic Trainers, and Daemon races will gain spells as they evolve.

How do you get Fire Ball?
›

You’ll need to master the Fire spell first, as Fire Ball can’t be learned until you have. Fire Ball tomes are found in Burnt Wizard Towers or bought from a Journeyman Dwarf Magic Trainer for 5 to 15 Gold Coins, and it will cost you 30,000 Magicule to cast.

Why can’t I cast my spell?
›

Casting will fail underwater, while you’re Silenced or under Anti-Magic, and while another spell is still charging. You’ll also need to hold the key for the full cast time, and to have enough Magicule for the spell’s cost, or nothing will happen.

Does learning magic cost Maximum Magicule?
›

Learning a spell won’t take anything from your Maximum Magicule, unlike most skills. Each learning press costs twice the spell’s normal Magicule, though, so the expensive spells will take a lot of energy to learn.
