Spell Specializations act as phantom ranks in that spell circle for anytime you cast that specific spell.

Additionally - For bolt spells, they add +1 AS for every 2 ranks of specialization in that spell. - For warding spells, if you have over your character level in spell circle ranks, you will get an additional over-warding bonus of +1 for every 4 ranks of specialization in that spell.

↳ Replying to Ufian: ~~Will they stack with spell circle enhancives? ~~ And if so, will they only stack to 50 total?

The caps on spell specialization ranks are separate from those of spell ranks enhancives. They will stack.

Same requirement. These cannot teach you the spell, just enhance what you already know.

And they do require 30 ranks in the circle to be able to use.

They do everything normal that would happen when having more ranks in that spell, plus a few special boots for bolts and warding spells.

Yes, overwarding = bonus to endroll on successful cast.

The CS calculation isn't as clear because it depends how many spell ranks you already have for the CS formula because of it's diminishing returns.

But that's why the overwarding bonus is there, to make these more appealing for warding spells in which your already pushing diminishing returns on.

Spell Specializations - Now part of the Treasure System

And now we know where Hoorne found his mystical new treasures, by looting 3 kobolds in a trench coat.

Spell specializations will now begin to appear as part of the treasure system. While still rather rare, spell specialization enhancive items and spell specialization spell books have a chance to drop from treasure.

Spell specialization books have a small chance to appear in treasure chests. They can appear randomly (any applicable spell) while character unattuned, or slightly more frequently attuned to the character with a spell circle that character has learned at least 30 ranks in.

Spell specialization enhancives now generate as part of the pool of enhancives within the treasure system. Spell specialization enhancives may have multiple spells, but items should contain spells from the same circle.

Spell specialization can stack up to +50 for a given spell, but only 25 of that may come from character knowledge gained from spellbooks. The other 25 may come from enhancive items.

You can see your spell specialization ranks by using the SPELL SPECIAL verb.

NOTE: These enhancives will not generate from the Duskruin item rewards during this run.

These are not on any kind of cooldown timer or the like, just % chances during treasure generation.

They can only appear in boxes.

Enhancives will generate in pretty typical enhancive ranges.

Spellbooks generate in a range of +1 to +4.

I should note before we get too far along into things, a character can currently hold knowledge of 25 different spell specializations. That doesn't feel like it should be too large of a limitation for most, but if you need to min/max around that wanted to make sure it's out there.

Oh right. I was able to remove the 30 rank requirement. This will allow you to enhance SKs. Learning a spell specialization for a spell you don't know won't give you access to the spell.

↳ Replying to Xanthirra: Fair to assume that the books and enhancives won't drop for any spells which would have no benefit, yes?

There is an exclusion of some spells, yes. Obviously varying degrees of "benefits" across different spell types, but you shouldn't get one for a spell that has actual zero benefit from spell ranks.

I’ve not tested those specifically, but it’s really matching on the spell number you cast.

>↳ Replying to Kaetel: You can get all 50 from enhancives afaik

This is true.

The limit of 25 unique spells is also a spell book limitation, not an enhancive limitation. Think of it as 25 slots for character known specializations.
