Spells

Spells are a specific type of combat skill. They are most commonly used by Pastamancers and Saucerors. Items, effects, and skills exist which can increase Spell Damage, reduce the MP Cost of certain classes of spells, or force spells to inflict a specific type of Elemental Damage.

Most spells deal damage in a fixed element, but most Pastamancer spells deal damage in a random element, which can be forced to deal a fixed element damage via elemental tuning. Elemental tuning does not work with spells that already deal fixed damage, and in addition, tuning only works for the first hit of Ravioli Shurikens and causes Weapon of the Pastalord to deal half its damage in the tuned element while the other half stays physical.

Most weaker spells have a hard damage cap built in. Mysticality bonuses and absolute Bonus Spell Damage can increase a spell's damage only up to the damage cap. However, percentage Bonus Spell Damage (i.e. +X% spell damage rather than +X spell damage) multiplies a spell's damage after all other damage sources.

A Spell Critical Hit doubles a spell's base damage and Mysticality bonuses, but not absolute Bonus Spell Damage. It also doubles the spell's damage cap if applicable.

The buff Frigidalmatian (effect), though not a spell, uses the Saucegeyser formula to determine its passive damage.

The following skills are classified as combat spells in their description:

Pastamancer Spells

Element

Most Pastamancer spells are normally random in their element, choosing from physical or one of the five elements. However, those Pastamancer spells will not hit the element of an elemental enemy, so for example, a Sleaze enemy will never be hit by the Sleaze element.

Pastamancer spells can be aligned to a specific element with either equipment or the class skill Flavour of Magic.

Bringing Up the Rear doubles the damage caps of Pastamancer spell (except Spaghetti Spear and Candyblast) if you have a pasta thrall active. If a Spell Critical Hit were to occur, the damage cap is doubled again, or quadruple the original amount.

The Pastamancer has four combat spells which do not use the spell damage formula.

• Entangling Noodles (Stun spell)
• Utensil Twist (Deals (Weapon Damage)+(0.1*Mys) physical damage, Bonus Spell Damage has no effect)
• Lasagna Bandages (Healing spell: 10-20)
• Noodles of Fire (With Wrath of the Capsaician Pastalords equipped. Stuns and passive Hot Damage for three rounds.)

Sauceror Spells

Element

Unlike Pastamancer spells, Sauceror spells deal damage in a fixed element, either Hot Damage or Cold Damage (mostly). Saucegeyser automatically tunes itself into the more optimal element based on the monster's element.

The spells

The Sauceror has several spell which does not use the spell damage formula.

• Curse of Vichyssoise: (Deals 2-3 Cold Damage every round, plus 2 damage per Cold Resistance, capped at +5 Cold Resist (Curse))
• Saucy Salve: (Heals 10-15 HP, sometimes not taking a round)
• Soul Bubble: (Stun spell)
• Soul Finger: (Delevels monster by 30% of its ML)
• Curse of Marinara: (Deals ~3% of monster's Attack every round in physical damage (min 2-3) and heals equal to damage dealt; if cursed monster is defeated by a spell from a Sauceror, heals for 30% of damage dealt, capped at 50 HP (Curse))
• Curse of the Thousand Islands: (Causes monster to stagger occasionally (Curse))
• Curse of Weaksauce: (Delevels monster by ~3% of original Attack value every round; if cursed monster is defeated by a spell from a Sauceror, restores MP equal to 30% of damage dealt, capped at 50 MP (Curse))
