Extra modifiers

Extra modifiers are special effects that are usually given by perks such as Concentrated Spells. When the wands is evaluating and a projectile-type action is read, all extra modifiers will be inserted into the action query then apply to the cast state.

A projectile-type action includes any Drawn spell of type:

• Projectile
• Static projectile
• Material

This means that when multi-casting several projectile spell, extra modifiers will apply times equal to the number of spells. If the modifier boosts damage, the total added damage will be multiplied by the number of projectiles!

Avoiding Extra Modifiers

Sometimes we do not want to trigger extra modifiers when we have perks such as Homing Shots or Bouncing Spells.

Remember the mechanic of extra modifiers: it triggers for certain types of spells. By casting a projectile through a copy from another spell and not casting projectile-type spells directly, the extra modifier will not trigger.

In this example, healing bolt is copied by Gamma, which is an other-type spell.

Another example by using Plicate Spell, the circle of vigour is skipped since plicate cost all the mana:

Guide to infinite damage

Hungry Ghost has an unique effect that multiplies projectile damage added. With several stacks of the damage buff, the damage grows exponentially. Since it's only *1.25, but with the mechanic of extra modifiers, 25-cast projectile spells and 10 stacks, the exponential damage increase is equal to 1.25^(25*10), that is more than 1*10^24.

There are several ways to trigger it. When combating with Kolmisilmä, its barrage is enough to gain stacks. Secondly, giving an enemy a wand works. The most stable method is using Magic Guard and Prickly Spore Pod. Alternate triggers include: Giga Death Cross, Bubbly Bounce, Spiral Shot, or Larpa Bounce.

You may obtain more than 5 hungry ghost by entering many holy mountain searching for the perk or using Nullifying Altar, then pick them up. Or using perk duplication method to obtain much more perks.
