Spells with limited uses

Some spells have a limit on the number of times they can be cast, before their charges need to be refreshed by collecting a Spell Refresher pickup. Spells with usage limits tend to be significantly more powerful than unlimited ones for a given Tier, either dealing more damage, or having unique and useful effects.

Many of these spells can be made unlimited via the Unlimited Spells perk. For those that cannot, there are other mechanisms to bypass the usage limits (see below).

Spells with limited charges

Spells unaffected by the Unlimited Spells Perk

Instead of making the following spells unlimited, the Unlimited Spells perk recharges them upon pickup, as if you'd picked up a spell refresher.

There are other ways to cast these spells without limit.

Touch Of Gold

Transmutes everything in a short radius into gold, including walls, creatures... and you

Unlimiting

The standard mechanisms for unlimited use of charge-limited spells will work:

• Can be copied with the Greek Spells: Mu, Tau, Gamma, Alpha and Zeta.
• Does not consume charges when multicast with Wand Refresh.

Matter Eater (like other projectile modifiers, and Myriad Spell) will only consume a charge if a spell of type Projectile, Static Projectile, or Material is cast normally alongside it. Through creative means this can be exploited to use the modifier effect without consuming charges.

See Expert Guide: Discards from the Hand for more specifics on this mechanic. Another way of unlimiting uses specifics of the Add Trigger spell:

Example 3:

Unlimited uses of Matter Eater on trigger target. Add Trigger checks for nonzero uses left on Matter Eater but does not reduce its uses left, and directly discards it from the Deck.
