GETTING STARTED

What is Magic?

All designs within Skire are capable of learning magic. Each design starts out with 3 slots to be able to learn 3 different magics.

To begin training in magic, you must complete the Mentor Initiation Prompt for each new magic that you wish to learn. 

MAGIC MENTORS

Mentors are available to train at any time after completing the Mentor Initiation Prompt. It costs crowns to train alongisde a mentor each time. More magics will roll out with time!

Mentorship costs a set amount of  Crowns to train. Earn crowns via completing prompts.

When magic is trained, there is a chance of SUCCESS, FAILURE, or DEFECT. Please visit each mentor to view these odds. More difficult magics will be harder to level up in.

• SUCCESS - Your character levels up in their trained magic.
• FAILURE - Your character does not level up.
• DEFECT - A Defect Item is rolled. If you roll a magic defect item, you may update your design via Design Approval. A defect can only be used for prompt bonuses if it has been updated to the design.

They may be turned in for 2 levels of their respective magic if you do not wish to have a defect on your character.
