Robes (Magicka)

Robes are unique characterizations of apparel; often with special abilities and pre-equipped with exclusive starting tools worn by Wizards

= Base game Robes =

Vanilla Wizard
"There's no need to wear anything else. The basic robe is fancy enough" -Unknown regular scholar arguing with hat-wearing scholar.

Hit-points (HP) : 1000

Default Staff : Basic Wizard's Staff

Default Weapon : Blunt Blade"Robe Traits : None"Notes : The normal Magicka experience; no advantages yet no disadvantages.

The clear lack of weird gimmicks makes it a well rounded character and a perfect fit for beginner players, the lack of specialities helps them focus more on the Magicks system which is an important aspect of the game to understand.

Patched Robe
He swore that he would keep working on his robe until it was done. At the time, it wasn't pretty but at least it was holding together.

Hit-points (HP) : 1000

Default Staff : Bug Staff

Default Weapon : Broken Sword"Robe Traits : None" Notes : Gives an extra patchy look to your wizard.

It was a fun little hint to the broken and buggy release the game had before it was patched from most of the underlying issues, and with it released this robe as a free DLC called "Mea Culpa" which means "My Bad" in Latin.

The Broken Sword is slightly better than a Blunt blade and the Bug Staff has the special on use effect of summoning a swarm of bugs in front of you.

Cyber Robe
"I tried to picture clusters of elements as they moved through the void. What did they look like? Fire, Water, Arcane? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day..." - From The Magick Grid, written by Grimnir

Hit-points (HP) : 1000

Default Staff : Cyber Staff

Default Weapon : Cyber Disc"Robe Traits : Arcane Weakness - Life Immunity - Lightning Absorption - Water Weakness"Notes : Gives a fancy sci-fi look to your wizard.

The particularities and appearance of this robe is a clear reference to the Tron universe.

The robe itself has quite a lot of major differences that might greatly influence the vanilla play-style in order to make up for its special traits, the biggest selling point for this robe however is its lightning absorption, which means lightning heals instead of damaging you, which basically replaces the use of the life element for yourself and is actually quite effective when wet.

The Cyber Staff is just as good as the Basic Wizard's Staff, the Cyber Disc however is surprisingly good, it's a throwable disc that bounces off walls and deals medium arcane damage which has the potential to hit more than one enemy multiple times in a single throw.
