How casting works

Runes, wizards and guilds

A spell needs Runes, Wizards and Guilds.

• Towers produce runes every hour. Each spell uses some.
• Your Guilds train wizards. They come from your peasantry and reduce your available workers. Too many wizards costs you peasants, thieves or military. You can release wizards into the peasantry, or stop training more, at any time.
• Your wizards have a Mana Rating. It rises automatically each day and drops each time you cast. Wizards will not cast with less than 5%.
• Casting has risks. A failed attempt can explode and kill a small share of your wizards.

What decides success

• Spells on yourself: your Guild percentage and Building Efficiency. More guilds means better results.
• Spells on others: your Wizards Per Acre (WPA) against the target's, modified by racial bonuses or penalties and your Channeling science. The higher your WPA compared with the enemy, the better your odds. Luck always plays a large part.
• Support spells: the formula is adjusted so kingdom mates can receive self spells from a support caster. You still need WPA, but it is not a big part of the result.
• Your Guild percentage also strongly affects how long every spell lasts.

Possible outcomes

A cast has three possible outcomes: it works, it fizzles, or it fizzles and some wizards die.

• Success: "Your wizards gather their runes and begin casting. The spell consumes X Runes and ... is successful!"
• Failure: "... The spell consumes X Runes and ... fizzles. Alas, we were not able to fulfill your expectations. Please forgive us."
• Explosion: "'Leader name', something has gone terribly wrong with our spell. X of our wizards were killed in an explosion!"

How long spells last

The duration of a successful spell depends on four things.

• The spell's nominal duration, which differs for each spell.
• The percentage of guilds the casting province has, with no extra effect above 20%.
• The relative networth of the two provinces.
• The current relations between the two provinces' kingdoms.

There is also some randomness. The nominal duration is split into parts:

• One quarter is always included in the final cast time.
• A scaling factor (from % guilds, relative net worth and relations) sets the contribution of another quarter.
• The remaining half is scaled by both the scaling factor and a random number.

Example: a spell with a nominal duration of 24 days.

• Scaling factor 100% (equal net worth, at war, caster has 20% or more guilds): final cast time is 12-24 days.
• Scaling factor 0% (for example, no guilds): final cast time is 6 days (25% of 24 days).
• Scaling factor 50%: 6 days (25% of 24) + 3 days (25% of 24 times 50%) + 0-6 days (random share of 50% of 24 times 50%), which is 9-15 days in total.

Numbers last updated 27 Sep 2026.

What spells cost

All spells cost mana. Your province regenerates mana each Utopian day, up to a maximum of 100%. Once mana falls below 5% you cannot cast until it regenerates.

• Self spells: 3%
• Offensive spells (without relations): 3%
• Offensive spells (Hostile relations): 2%
• Ritual spells: 2%
• Support spells on others: 2%

Numbers last updated 27 Sep 2026.

Restrictions and relations

Some spells are Unfriendly, Hostile or War Only. Because they are destructive, you can cast them only on provinces whose kingdom has at least that level of relations with yours. Many spells are also stronger when relations are worse. Spells come in two kinds:

• Self spells are cast on your own province.
• Offensive spells are cast on enemies.

Support spells

Some Races can cast certain self spells on kingdom mates. These are support spells. Success depends on the caster's WPA and relative networth against the target. Duration depends on the target's guilds. To cast a support spell you must have access to it. The full list is here.

The current age's support spells are: Minor Protection, Greater Protection, Fertile Lands, Magic Shield, Nature's Blessing, Love & Peace, Builders' Boon, Inspire Army, Patriotism, Fanaticism, Divine Shield, Illuminate Shadows, Salvation and Wrathful Smite.

The caster gains honor from kingdom mates they cast support spells on. Those on the receiving end lose about 0.1% honor.
