Sorcerer Base Spells Affected

• Phase (704)

Increased training in demonology increases the maximum weight of items which one can phase. Base weight begins at 10 lbs or less, and is increased by 2 lbs for every bonus corresponding to seed 3 ofo the summation chart. The maximum weight which can be phased is 44 lbs with 187 ranks of demonology.

• Cloak of Shadows (712)

Probability for the demon to retaliate upon one's foes is increased by 1% for each rank. The base chance is 45% and max is 95% (50 ranks). The possibility of a backlash effect (demon retaliation upon one's self) is also reduced with this training.

• Torment (718)

Increased training in demonology allows the caster to control more individual torments at once. It also decreases the benefit which a tormented target receives for the caster having a spell prepared. The target receives a TD boost of +50 if the caster has a spell prepared when Torment strikes, and is reduced by 1 for every 2 ranks in demonology (max 0 at 100 ranks). If no spell is in preparation, demonology ranks then cause the demon to inflict increased damage.

• Minor Summoning (725)

The success of summoning is increased by 1% per rank. Base chance to summon using a tier 1 rune is 50% (max 100% at 50 ranks), and 0% using a tier 2 rune (max 100% at 100 ranks). Each rank allows the demon to carry more silver, hold more mana, and increases the demon's capability to interfere with and break sanctuaries.

• Planar Shift (740)

Success with cross-realms transport is increased by 1% for each 12 ranks, beginning at 90% (max 100% at 120 ranks). Number of passengers via same-realm transport is increased by 1 character for every 20 ranks (max 10 passengers at 200 ranks). The ability to drag characters through the rift may also rely upon demonology ranks.
