Magic Progression
Magic progression begins in the Mistlands and introduces a new combat system centered around Eitr. Unlike traditional stamina-based weapons, magic uses a separate resource pool and requires specialized armor, food, and crafting infrastructure.
Mistlands • Galdr Table • Black Forge • Weapons • Food • Biomes
✨ Unlocking Magic
Magic becomes available after:
1. Entering the Mistlands. 2. Acquiring **Black Cores** from Infested Mine dungeons. 3. Building the Galdr Table. 4. Producing **Refined Eitr** using the Eitr Refinery.
Without these steps, magic crafting is not accessible.
🔋 What Is Eitr?
Eitr is a magical resource pool similar to stamina.
- Required to cast spells.
- Consumed when using magic weapons.
- Regenerates over time.
- Increased by certain foods and armor sets.
You cannot use magic effectively without Eitr-focused gear.
🧥 Mage Armor Sets
Magic builds rely heavily on Eitr-generating armor.
| Set | Biome | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Eitr-weave Set | Mistlands | Balanced mage armor |
| Embla Set | Ashlands | Advanced mage armor |
Mage sets typically reduce physical protection in exchange for higher Eitr and regeneration.
🔥 Magic Weapon Types
| Weapon Type | Damage Style |
|---|---|
| Fire Staves | Area damage + burn |
| Frost Staves | Slow + control |
| Nature / Poison Staves | Damage over time |
| Lightning (Ashlands tier) | High burst damage |
Magic damage types are affected by enemy resistances.

🍲 Eitr Food
Certain foods provide Eitr instead of only Health and Stamina.
Magic builds typically use:
- 1–2 Eitr-focused foods
- 1 stamina-support food
Balancing regeneration is key to sustained spellcasting.

⚖ Magic vs Melee
Magic Advantages:
- Strong area damage
- Ranged control
- Elemental flexibility
Magic Tradeoffs:
- Lower armor protection
- Eitr management required
- Higher crafting costs
- Dependent on infrastructure
Hybrid builds (magic + physical weapon) are often effective.
🛠 Magic Strategy Tips
- Always enter combat with full Eitr.
- Pair magic with stamina-efficient movement.
- Switch damage types if enemies resist Fire.
- Maintain Galdr Table upgrades for stronger scaling.
- Carry backup melee weapon.
Magic becomes increasingly powerful in late-game biomes.
📈 Endgame Magic (Ashlands)
Ashlands expands magic progression with:
- Higher-tier mage armor
- Lightning-based damage
- Stronger hybrid builds
- Increased crafting complexity
Magic scales heavily with preparation and resource investment.
