Ok I had a chance to run through some tests on this spells and yes it pretty useless. However, it does work in some areas just not the ones you would like or expect it to work in.


>discern forestwalker's boon
Many a ranger has ventured beyond the bounds of civilization only to find themselves facing wild beasts defending their territory or hunting for food. The Forestwalker's Boon spell masks a ranger's natural scent with a pheromone that attempts to calm all but the most aggressive or cunning wild animals.

This is a battle spell, intended to be prepared quickly and cast on a single target while in battle. It can be cast without a target. It requires a minimum of fifteen mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of one hundred mana streams woven into it.

To begin to be able to cast this spell, you will need to reach the rank of an experienced practitioner. By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a master in your abilities as a caster. It requires the Warding skill to cast effectively.

Before you can learn this spell, you must know Instinct. It will also cost two spell slots.


If you use this spell in clouded Arzumos they wont attack you (notice the info up there says wild animals). So since it works in arzumos you figure hey it should work in golden pard too. but no it doesn't. It also wont work in gryphons, or many of the other expected places. Does work in blood wolves (sometimes). There is probably a test based on your skill vs the critters skill and it probably is not working in each case. In any case I was told its a place holder till they finally decide what to do. If you check the spell tree on this spell its not required for any other spell so I would suggest you dont get it. I don't plan on getting it myself. It would have to work a lot better than it does for me to decide to expend 2 spell slots on it. Better off getting Guage Flow (GAF) from the Analogous Patterns spells so you can do research as your magic skills go up.

As for why the spell exists. We have two spells that teach only warding, Essence of Yew (EY) and Forestwalkers boon (FWB). Then Bear Strength (BES) also teaches it but since it also teaches augmentation it does not teach warding quite as well. In any case its still possible to train magic using EY to around 600 skill. You have to change how you cast but its entirely possible. After that you would do better to try research for training Warding.

Below is a script I used to test out the new magic for casting beyond 100 skill. I've tested it on see the wind (STW) for instance and you can learn augmentation to over 500 skill and its an intro spell. Keep in mind this is an experimental script I set up to see what would happen if you broke up the charging of a cambrinth item. The max times you can charge it with this script are 10 times and one last charge, so that means 11 charges.

Ok this is what I used for testing. Here is how it works:

.MAGICT <number of charges> <charge Armband/orb> <last charge> <prep Spell Value> <Harness value>

Now how this works is as follows. If you have to charge 60, prep 5, harness 5. Then you can set it up as follows:

.magict 5 10 10 5 5

That will do 5 charges of 10 and a last charge of 10, then prep, invoke, harness, cast.

Now to set the script up for your character search for this:

# match MAGICSAVE3 Character name3

Change it to your characters name and remove the #. Then move to MAGICSAVE3: which has the following and change it for your character:

MAGICSAVE3:
save armband
put remove cambrinth armband
counter set %1
pause
goto MDXP

If your using a cambrinth orb and for high casting levels I recommend you do so, change it as follows:

MAGICSAVE3:
save orb
put get orb from my pack
counter set %1
pause
goto MDXP

Next if the spell you are casting does not refresh you have to release the spell before each new cast or you learn nothing. Find this second and put in what is needed to release your spell. Then uncomment the magic the spell is using and comment out the ones not being used (where you see put exp skill Augmentation).

MDXP:
pause
# if you need to release a spell during casting do it here!
#put release blend
#put release cotc
put release yourspellname
pause
match restmd mind lock
match mdcharge%c EXP HELP
put exp skill Augmentation
#put exp skill Utility
#put exp skill Warding
matchwait

Rangers have to release blend and claws of the cougar (COTC) to recast them and learn. So you have to put that here when you use those spells and comment it out using # when you not using that spell.

Next step is to put your spells in place and use on the one your working on at the time. As you can see from the below section, I have it set up for an empath and ranger using some spells in variations. Note: primary magic folks will probably have to charge higher and prep and harness higher, but you will have to experiement to see for your self. Set yours up and comment out the ones not being used.

#put pre ws %4
#put pre instinct %4
put pre wotp %4
#put pre compost %4
#put pre blend %4
#put pre EY %4
matchwait

Now you have to figure out your max cast. DISCERN WS for me shows 80 (actually that varies from 70 to 80). Figure you can cast the spell 5 - 20 higher than that. So Try first at 10 higher. 90 in this case. That shows with one cast I learn 3/34. Then lower your next cast by 10. In this case 80. When the previous cast drains off cast at 80 and it shows I learn at 3/34. Then let it drain and Try 5 lower. At 5 lower I cast and it drops to 2/34 learning. So for best learning I want to use 80 power for my cast. That means I want most of the cast in charge. To start off You can try 70 charge, 5 prep, 5 harness and let it run and see how you do. In this case I would run it as:

.magict 6 10 10 5 5

That's 6 charges of 10 and a last charge of 10 for 70 charge. Then prep of 5 and harness of 5.

Young folks can use .magict 1 1 1 1 1 If they cant cast at that use 0 on the harness number.

Copy below into a file as .txt so you have a backup. Then open it with notepad and save as magict.cmd. Then you can import it to stormfront as a wizard file or just put it in the wizard script directory if using wizard. In genie3 open a new script file and simply past this file into it. Then run.
