<br>Apotheosis (5 Polymorph): All other Source skills cost 0 Source for three turns. If you have the AP reserves to use other Source skills, this can be very game breaking. This can allow you to instantly use other skills like Skin Graft, Thick of the Fight, Dome of Protection (Custom Character), Demonic Stare (Red Prince), or <a href="https://Www.Strategylair.com/articles/swen-vincke-s-defense-of-single-player-games-and-industry-optimism.html">RPG industry trends</a> Time W<br><br> <br>Earth weapons are in an interesting position, with slight favoritism towards using an Earth damage staff or two-handed Strength weapon. The Vitality bonus on amulets is a bit wasted, as you will mostly only take direct health damage if you have lost your armor. It can have its uses if you are fighting enemies that deal frequent piercing damage, like assassins and rogues. The Mystical Frame bonuses are a bit contradictory: Warfare increases Physical damage, not Earth, while Geomancer is more likely to help by builds seeking more Poison damage. Still, it is possible to make a melee fighter backed with Earth magic, especially if you are Undead and can heal with the additional Poison spells.

You will be getting up close to the enemy, so aim to wear heavy armor, and wield a one-handed weapon and shield. With this setup you’ll have access to the Shields Up skill to regain lost armor. Stack your Civil Ability point onto your natural racial bonus - Persuasion for Lizards, Stealth for Dwarves, etc. Restoration will be your primary skill, as it heals vitality over a few turns. If the target is Undead, it will instead deal damage. Armor of Frost will be used to repair Magical armor.

Depending on your team makeup, you will need to decide which direction to take your hero: a sturdy tank, an expert doctor, a life drainer, and cryomancer are all potential aspects. But trying to cover every job at once will leave them watered down from their full potential.

Most Hydrosophist related skills don’t have a great impact on weapon damage, so stacking Water damage can be hard. The Mystical and Power Frames seem to point towards a more supportive caster build that can move quickly, boost ally performance, and deals damage with a mix of spells, wands, or maybe even a one-handed sword.

This can be great on a character that is building around attacks like Venom Coating and Siphon Poison. With so much Poison potential, it would be best to put these runes on an Undead character that can heal themselves with excess Poison surfaces. The Mystical Frame powers seem to be a bit more unfocused. A single point of Perseverance is great for restoring armor, but additional points aren’t as amazing. Having both Summoning and Necromancer is spreading a bit thin, though it can lead to very strong boosts to Raise Bone Widow and Totems of the Necroman<br>
