Attacks

In Bestia, there are two main types of magical actions:

1. Skills – Learned by a Bestia Master. Skills have levels and can be upgraded in a skill tree as the Master levels up. These are controlled by the player using skill points. See Bestia Master for the full skill tree.
2. Attacks – Learned by a Bestia as it levels up, at fixed, predefined levels. These can be battle-related or utility magic.

Each skill or attack is characterized by its level and elemental aspect.

Some magical actions are both at once. Many offensive spells—the elemental bolts, for example—exist as a Master skill and as a Bestia attack. A Master learns such a spell in their skill tree and raises its power by investing skill points, while a Bestia learns the very same spell as an attack at a fixed level and is locked to the strength of that level. In short: the Master keeps levelling the spell up, whereas a Bestia’s version never grows beyond the level it was learned at.

Bestias can learn attacks in two ways:

1. Level Up – Each Bestia has an internal list of attacks it will learn as it gains levels. The same attack may be learned at different levels by different Bestias.
2. Spell Scrolls – Players can inscribe attacks onto spell scrolls (or find them as loot). These spells can be used directly from the scroll or taught to a Bestia.

General guidelines when Bestia are learning attacks from level ups:

• From Lv. 1–100, a Bestia should learn about 20 attacks.
• Around 15 attacks are learned between Lv. 1–70, and the last 5 (the most powerful ones) between Lv. 71–100.
