Greek Letter Spells
A group of spells designed to copy other spells and effects.
Ignores both mana drain and charges of copied spells, and are unlocked by killing Ylialkemisti.
Omega is an Other type spell and a member of the Greek Spells - all of which can be used to copy spell effects. In this case almost all the other spells in the wand are copied. This power comes at a cost, of 320 mana, 50 frames of Cast Delay, and a mild headache from trying to understand exactly how it works.
Tips
- Like Gamma and Alpha, Omega is very useful for copying valuable limited charge spells like Black Hole that aren't affected by the Unlimited Spells perk, effectively making them unlimited regardless. However, unlike the other two, this one can cast any amount of cast-limited spells at a time (for a much higher mana cost and cast delay).
- Omega can be cast via Alpha and Gamma. In the case of Gamma you can cast Omega without the mana cost of the Omega spell when paired with a Wand Refresh.
- Omega cancels draw from any spell it copies (with a few exceptions). This means that trigger spells copied by Omega will not have a payload.
- Omega cannot directly copy Wand Refresh.
- Omega does not cast itself (i.e. loop infinitely), but it will cast other copies of Omega in the wand. This is a simple way to double/triple... cast your wand but can slow down your game with enough projectiles and/or effects applied, particularly if you use Larpa modifiers.
- Using some standard math it is possible to extrapolate the sequence of numbers generated when stacking Omega with each other within the same casting block.
- This sequence formula[1] can be used to generate the following table: (where )
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 4 | 11 | 25 | 45 | 76 | 119 | 176 | 249 | 340 | 451 | 584 | 741 |
