Chaos Desert

Chaos Desert is a branch of the fire clan that specialize in attack bolt count. Arguably the easiest clan to play, having a variety of powerful spells. Considered a Black Robe clan due to many members being within the Black Robes, or willing to join them.

Clan Spells
Special Reduce: An effect to be cast on your bolts that reduces the enemies special by 0.5 x Upgrade Level, which maxes at 2 special points reduced per hit. Requires 20 Special Points to use.

Twice: Allows you to cast the same basic spell as you did last turn. The game does not usually allow you to, and this spell is the only way around it. Requires 20 Special Points to cast.

Additional Attacking Bolts: Every 2 Skill Points invested increases high and low attacking bolts by 1 alternatively until they both have 5 extra. Upon use, you will see many more attacks rise from your character. Requires 40 Special Points.

Burning Bolts: The most powerful asset to any Chaos Desert magus. For that turn only, every attack that strikes will deal its damage, PLUS the damage of the last attack. (10+10= 20. 20+10= 30. 30+20= 50... so on). This stacks up to ungodly amounts when used with Additional Attacking Bolts. Requires 60 Special Points to cast.

Remove Effects: Useful support spell. You can use this to remove debuffs other mages put on you. It costs not mana, but life to cast (2x the number of effects. If you have Cursed 10, it will cost 20 Life to remove them). Also requires you to have at least 80 Special Points to use.

First Part
The Gravedigger, Part I: Upon the end of the Young Mage Contest, the first 'part' as I call them, of the game will begin. If you go to the Wilderness of Chaos Desert, you will run into a raider who steals various treasures, named Sandtracker. Upon being caught he will try to bribe you. You can accept his Scroll of Spells, and earn a Good reputation and obtain four skill points, or battle him. If you win the battle, he will put the items back at your request, or you can kill him. Upon his death here, Part II will not happen, and you cannot get the 'Guardian of the Grave' title, which requires you meet him both times, and kill him the SECOND time in Dark Wood.

Second Part
Old Mage: When exploring the city once the Town Crier announces that 'Chaos and disorder is everywhere', an old mage will bump into another guy, and start a conflict. Graveanger, the one who gets offended, and Spellsoak, the elderly magus that accidentally caused the conflict, are the two sides. Whomever you refuse to side with you will have to fight and earn a Bad reputation with, and whomever's side you choose will get a Good relationship. Nothing else, but maybe the relationships will come in handy later.

There are no events in the third part.
