Magic and Mayhem Explained by DiabloWiki

Did you ever wonder about how a [WIKI]Sorceress[/WIKI] calls forth her Lightning Bolts, or how a [WIKI]Town Portal[/WIKI] really works? We have gone through a massive amount of lore concerning Magic, spells, casting, planes, schools of magic and a lot of other things. While there really has been no place where you could get this info in a nice and summarised form before, we sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading about all the things that are magical in [WIKI]Sanctuary[/WIKI]. We present:

  • The Massive Magic Mayhem Guide!

There are also a few related pages made or updated for the [WIKI]Magic[/WIKI] article, and several articles that will soon be available, that gives a more detailed picture of different types of magic. The difference between Holy magic and Demonic magic, or even Primal and Elemental can still be explained even further, and such a natural thing as mana still needs to be added. The overwhelming majority of information gathered came from the [WIKI]Diablo I Manual[/WIKI], the [WIKI]Diablo II Manual[/WIKI] and the [WIKI]Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Manual[/WIKI], which is still quite accurate, besides a few details and the counting of years. We also updated sections in the manuals with navigational links, so if you ever missed getting a manual with your game, check them out as well. Below are the [WIKI]magic[/WIKI]-related articles that also have had different recent updates:

  • [WIKI]Waypoint[/WIKI] – Possibly related to Town Portals?
  • [WIKI]Town Portal[/WIKI] – It’s more to it than you might think!
  • [WIKI]Teleport[/WIKI] – Travel the Ether, but don’t get lost!
  • [WIKI]Caster[/WIKI] – Someone casting a spell.
  • [WIKI]Undead[/WIKI] – [WIKI]Death[/WIKI] is much closer related to [WIKI]life[/WIKI] than [WIKI]demonic[/WIKI] sorcery.
  • [WIKI]Sanctuary[/WIKI] – Ever important in the Diablo Universe.
  • [WIKI]Vizjerei[/WIKI] – The most powerful [WIKI]mage clan[/WIKI].
  • [WIKI]Shrine[/WIKI] – Back in D3?
  • [WIKI]Potion[/WIKI] – What is a potion anyway?
  • [WIKI]Elixir[/WIKI] – Permanent or temporary upgrades.
  • [WIKI]Western Kingdoms[/WIKI] – Home of [WIKI]Tristram[/WIKI]

And another two more that are slightly related, in terms of actual Diablo 3 gameplay:

  • [WIKI]Critical hit[/WIKI]
  • [WIKI]Rune[/WIKI]

I hope you haven’t missed our latest few other massive Diablo guides that has come out in the last week or two, made by contributors to the Diablo 3 Wiki:

  • [WIKI]Undead[/WIKI] & [WIKI]Skeleton[/WIKI] – The secrets of Undead summonings revealed.
