Notes[]
- Upkeep is in Mana.
- Arcane Warrior spellcasting: The spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
- When augmented by Aneirin's Token, this is by far the most powerful spell in the game for increasing a mage's spellpower and mana regeneration rate. In order to receive the buff, Wynne does not have to equip Aneirin's Token: the buff is in effect as long as the token is in the player's inventory. If the token is equipped on a character other than Wynne, however, then the buff is not applied.
- Spell cooldown is 300s. This can be a major hindrance. However, there is a workaround. Save your game and reload. The cooldown timer will be reset.
- Being hit by this ability draws 1 additional Threat from the target(s).
- The spell will deactivate itself after 60s no matter what. It will also deactivate on area change.
- The stun and other applied penalties upon deactivation are magical in nature and so can be dispelled. Using Dispel Magic to remove the buff before the 60s duration has expired will prevent the penalties from being applied.
- It is possible to acquire the spell right after Wynne's recruitment and before the cutscene where it is first triggered, albeit circumstances are unknown. Confirmed on
and .
