Can you give yourself Levels in Ars Magicka 2?

[nerakai]

Okay so I ended up bricking my previous world, so I'm creating a new world and giving myself some of the main things I had in the previous world but I don't know how to give myself levels for ars magicka.
Is there anyone that can help ?

I haven't really gotten around to playing with Ars Magicka yet, have it installed just haven't gotten to it, but if I recall you gain levels by spending vanilla levels, so you could cheat in exp bottles or the console command xp (amount) (playername) to give yourself exp, then trade in the vanilla levels gained for Ars Magicka levels.

 

[nerakai]

Nope the xp system for ars magica is seperate from vanilla

If I'm not mistaken there is an item that gives you levels. There's 3 with their own colour depending on the level and are normally dropped by mobs and such however you can spawn them in with nei. sorry but I don't remember the names.

Must be one of the changes from AM1 to AM2, I'm certain in AM1 you traded vanilla levels for magic levels.

 

[Succubism]

I've not played AM2 enough to tell you but I believe you get levels for vanilla levels too.

 

[dwappo]

Nope, there's a command that you can use to get levels (idk what though). But in AM2 the lv is different from vanilla (you get it from using spells).

I think those are the skill points you obtain after leveling, and is not the actual magic level you have.
as far as I know, there is no way to give yourself magic levels in Ars Magica 2, there are ways to obtain more skill points, but not magic experience

The only command I've found so far was from the previous version which is /setmagiclevel.
which I think is ment to work still but it's not

also /help isn't working for me so I can't look through the list of commands >.<

I know there's an item, I used it myself in my modpack testing

The items give you skill points, not levels. The blue, green, and red orbs give you blue, green, and red skill points respectively.

Ah.

Guys...GUYS
you START AM2 with an item telling you EXACTLY HOW TO DO THIS!
You gain levels by using spells, just cheat in mana cakes and spam random spells(or any other mana restoring item) and for skill points use infonity orbs

I wouldn't say "exactly." Does the mana cake description actually literally say to use it for cheating levels?

No, but spam spell + mana cale=XP

 

[nerakai]

No, but spam spell + mana cale=XP

Constantly spamming spells gives deminishing returns, so the more you use spells in quick succession the less xp you get, I was level 50 or so before I bricked my last world and to get back to that point will take a long time casting spells.

Ah, well then im not sure other than cheating in tons of components(which takes a good chunk of time in my experience) and creating new spells every time you level up (even more time!)

does the command /setmagiclevel (player) (number) still work? that's what it was in AM1.

I tried that and unfortuantely no it doesn't work, although I think it is ment to work
