Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Spells: Wizardry Spell & What They Do

In Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Wizardry Spells play a crucial role in combat as they offer a diverse range of abilities. These active skills are categorized based on their elemental properties, which are tied to the Five Phases philosophy. To cast a Wizardry Spell, certain conditions must be met, and the effects of each spell can vary from destructive magical attacks and crowd control to self and ally buffs, healing, traversal, and weapon enchantment.
The spells are divided into different elemental Phases, namely the Wood Phase, Fire Phase, Earth Phase, Metal Phase, and Water Phase and there 70 different spells in game. Additionally, they are further categorized into offensive, defensive, and support spells. Mastering Wizardry Spells can prove to be beneficial in challenging battles, offering players an advantage over their opponents. In summary, Wizardry Spells are a vital aspect of combat in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
The player character’s Five Phases Virtues correspond to each Wizardry Spell category or Phase. Increasing investment in a specific phase enhances the damage or potency of the matching spells, and accelerates the accumulation rate of their relative Status Effects.
For instance, if you invest heavily in the Wood Virtue, your Wood Phase spells will deal more damage, and healing and buffing spells in that category will be more potent. Additionally, it will take fewer hits with Lightning-elemental spells to fill up the Shock status effect bar, making it easier to afflict opponents.
