#HEROES LORE 5 FULL#

In any case, if going for the Ultimate Ability, one of Runic Attunement and Tap Runes will have to be forgone. Depending on your Runemage's dependence on spells, Tap Runes can also be useful. Greater Rune is only a viable option if going for Absolute Protection or resources are plentiful, while Refresh Rune is a possibility against slower enemies or very long fights.ДЄmong the best Rune modifiers is Runic Attunement, despite its short duration, it may allow for a quick attack on behalf of your units. Ultimate Runelore is made somewhat obsolete by Fine Rune, which is able to conserve the much rarer, precious resources, too. Unlike most other racial skills, Runelore requires the hero to learn up to Expert Runelore to enable every Rune level. If enemy has Absolute Luck perk, effects of both perks are nullified. The creature will be able to use it again at the normal cost.ДЄbsolute Protection Normal attacks against hero's creatures are always unlucky. Refresh Rune Allows a previously placed rune (random if many) to be refreshed on selected creature. Greater Rune Allows the same rune to be activated for the second time for triple resource cost. Ultimate Runelore Allows magical runes to be placed without wasting wood and ore.ДЇine Rune There is a 50% chance of not using up resources on rune activation.

Runes supplied by: Runic Shrine level 3 (1 rune of level 5).

Runes supplied by: Runic Shrine level 2 (1 rune of level 3 + 1 rune of level 4).

Runes supplied by: Runic Shrine level 1 (1 rune of level 1 + 1 rune of level 2).

The only change in rune effects are via abilities (see Runelore Modifiers below), and even then, the actual effect of the rune does not change, only its side-effects and costs do. However, Knowledge and Spellpower do not change the Runic Magic effectiveness. As their name suggests, Runemages are good spellcasters, that can be particularly efficient in Destructive Magic. Learning Runic Magic does not prevent you from learning normal magic, either, the only variation from other towns being precious resources are in higher demand (especially gems and sulfur) meaning you'll have to prioritise. This limitation can be relaxed by hero's abilities. Fortress creatures in the hero's army can use the runes known to the hero once per combat (per creature).

For a full list of costs and descriptions, see the Fortress Buildings section. Much like a Magic Guild, the Runic Shrine comes in 3 levels, each offering more and more powerful runes, and corresponding to the 3 levels of the Runelore skill needed to learn these runes. Runes are learnt by the hero, when visiting a Fortress town where a runic shrine is built.

As detailed in the Runelore Modifiers below, certain hero abilities allow runes to sometimes be cast without using up resources at all. For a full list of rune costs and effects, see the Runic Magic section. Instead of using the hero's Mana in order to be cast, runes consume the realm's resources (wood, ore, mercury, crystal, gems and sulfur - no gold). Also dissimilar to spells, using a rune does not detract from the creature's ATB value, and hence a creature will use a rune and attack in the same turn. Unlike spells however, they are applied only by Fortress creatures directly on themselves. A rune comes in the form of a statistic-booster, and they have different effects and durations, just like spells.

Runelore is a combat ability, exacted by the creatures themselves.
