Racial spells & level milestones
These spells are exclusive to Kobold characters and are available across all six classes unless a class is listed separately below. Character level alone is not enough: meet the named casting requirement shown in your spellbook, learn the spell, and have enough mana. See Spells and Magic for casting and learning.
| Spell | Cast requirements | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Scavenger's Instinct | Level 5 + Lumberjacking 5 | Raise Lumberjacking by 20–60% for 15–80 seconds, scaling with Lumberjacking. Does not increase item-drop chances. |
| Scurry | Level 5 + Magic 5 | Gain 20% Speed for 10 seconds. |
| Fire Bomb | Level 10 + Magic 8 | Damage and briefly burn enemies in a targeted area. |
| Dirty Trick | Level 15 + Magic 10 | Weaken the target’s Strength and Resistance by 10–30% for a base 10–30 seconds, scaling with Magic. Susceptible monsters also lose Magic Resistance. Does not deal direct damage. |
| Tinker's Gift | Level 20 + Magic 5 | Raise Alchemy and Blacksmithing by 20–60% for 15–80 seconds. Each bonus and duration scales with its own crafting skill. |
| Kobold Fire Breath | Level 40 + Magic 1 | Breathe fire over a targeted area, damaging enemies and applying brief Burning. Does not require Dragon Form. |
| Kobold Dragon Form | Level 200 + Magic 1 | Become a dragon for 10 seconds: +20% to your class’s primary offensive skill and +10% Resistance. Enables Kobold Dragon Inferno while the form lasts. |
| Kobold Dragon Inferno | Level 200 + Magic 1 | Damage and briefly burn enemies in a targeted area. Requires your Kobold Dragon Form to be active, not just learned. |
Level 25: race & class spells
Each of these spells needs both this race and the matching class, plus the named casting requirement below. They are not shared with your other class choices.
| Class | Spell | Cast requirements | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Berserker | Powder Stomp | Level 25 + Magic 10 | Damage enemies around you with brief Bleeding and Burning. Against players, also reduce Speed by 20–35% for 30–60 seconds. |
| Sorcerer | Runic Detonation | Level 25 + Magic 10 | Unleash a large blast around yourself with brief Burning. Costs 780 base mana and some of your own health; the health cost cannot reduce you below 1 HP. |
| Warrior | Scrap Barricade | Level 25 + Strength 5 | Temporarily raise Shielding, Resistance and Magic Resistance. Combines Self Fortify Defense and Iron Will; does not place a wall on the ground. |
| Hunter | Shrapnel Storm | Level 25 + Magic 7 | Damage enemies in a targeted area and cause brief Bleeding. |
| Rogue | Smoke Dagger | Level 25 + Dexterity 8 | Become invisible and gain Self Haste’s Speed boost. This is an escape buff, not a thrown dagger attack. |
| Druid | Smoldering Thicket | Level 25 + Magic 15 | Damage enemies in a targeted thicket with brief vine and Burning effects. Against players, also reduce Speed by 5–15% for 20–40 seconds. |
Important limitations
Fire Breath becomes available at level 40. Dragon Form and Dragon Inferno require level 200, and Dragon Inferno can only be used while in Kobold Dragon Form. Dragon Form lasts 10 seconds; plan the window before attacking.
