Intoduction
There are two gods in Lineage. God of all evil - Grankain and god of everything good Einhasad. The chaotic temple
located east from the gludin town belongs to the evil Grankain, you may learn all spells with chaotic alignment
there. The lawful temple located in the elven forest belongs to the good Einhasad, you may learn all lawful
lignment spells there. All neutral alignment spells can be learned at either the chaotic or lawful temple. You may
check spell's alignement by looking at the spell list here or in the game by pressing F1 and selecting 'magic
related' topic.
Level of Magic
Magic is a magor elemental of any RPG. In Lineage all magic is divided into 10 level. Different class
can learn diferent level of magic at a certain level respectively. Level 3 or below spell can be learnt from Gereng or Huron, while level 4 or above spell must be learnt by spell books in the temple. Notice, you may lose your spell when you die.
The following table give you an idea about which class can learn which level of magic at what level. NA = You cannot learn the magic.

Magic Power and Resistance
The power of magic is determined by your class and intellegent. There maybe some item later to
improve your magic power as well. The effect of the magic si determined by adding the spell level and your own magic power.
For magic resistance, Wisdom and your level is important. The more resistance
of magic, the lesser damage from enemy's spell. Some item add resistnace bonus on player, for example elven shield
and cloak of magic resistance. Also, shield of reflection is able to reflect any magic that look like beam. For example,
energy bolt.
Attribute of Magic
Each magic has different attribute. Some of them are neutral. But the otehr is divided into four categories: Water, Fire, Earth and Air.
Moreover, Water is opposite of Fire, and Soil is opposite of Wind. By casting a magic to someone that has different attribute is more effective. However,
cast magic that has same attribute as target may reduce the efficientcy, perhaps even cause the opposite effect. For example, casting a fireball spell on a
Fire Dragon (only an example, there is no Fire Dragon in game yet) may actually heal your target. Casting lightning (Wind) on stone golem (soil) is more effective.
Alignment of magic
Same as PC and NPC, magic has alignment as well. Casting Neutral spell will have no effect on your alignment. Casting Lawful spell will change your
alignment to lawful, and same applies to casting Chaotic spell. The alignmental effect is calculated by square of the spell level. Moreover, casting spell which has
the same alignment as the caster will be more effective. On the other hand, casting spell which has oppsoite alignment as caster will be less effective. Moreover, the alignment of
magic decide where you can learn your magic from spell book. Your spell book will vanish if you bring it to the wrong temple. For example, to learn greater heal you need to bring it to
Lawful Temple, while bringing it to Neutral or Chaotic temple will not work.
Magic Type
There are 8 types of spells: Heal, Bestow, Attack, Life, Death, Control, Curse, Transform. Some items raise one specific type of magic or negates it. There are also monsters who are more or less resistant to a specific type of magic.
