Spells

From Board Game Online Wiki
(Redirected from Wormhole)

Spells are divided into Dark and Light spells. Dark spells tend to be harmful and can be cast with a Dark Wand. Light spells tend to be beneficial and can be cast with a Light Wand. You can charge your Dark Wand, Light Wand, Orb, Staff, or The Elder Wand at The Magic Shop. You can also use Magic Crystals to charge them. Magic Scrolls also contain spells.

Dark Sacrifice[edit | edit source]

Tooltip Effect Notes
Sacrifice yourself to give every enemy player a random minor Curse. You die if you are alive, then if you tried to die, you give each other player a random Curse from the generic Lesser Curse-givers pool. (A random Curse is decided independently for each player.) You don't "try to die" if you have (Dark) Spell Immunity, though you do if you have any death blocker activate to prevent your death.

Death[edit | edit source]

Instantly kill a player. Target any player; kill them.

Deny[edit | edit source]

Tooltip Effect
Deny a player victory. For 2 turns, they cannot win the game in any way. Target any player; give them 2 turns of Denied By Darkness.

Detonation[edit | edit source]

Tooltip Effect Notes
Make all explosives in the game detonate, including those in player inventories. Cause all explosive effects, the Time Bomb, all non-Frozen Explosive items in player inventories (excluding Deadly Items), and Easter Bombs to explode.
  • The detonations occur in the following order from top to bottom:
  • Effects are detonated with the following preset order as the primary order decider, and secondarily by join order: Smoking A Harmless Cigar, Living Bomb, Volatile Zombie, Defective Turret, BOOM-erang.
  • Detonated effects all end. Detonated items are all removed from the game.
  • A player with Living Bomb or Volatile Zombie is killed when their effect is detonated.
  • The space you are on immediately before an explosive explodes will be used to determine the space your explosives explode on rather than the space you are on at the moment Detonation is used.
  • Hand Grenade, Holy Hand Grenade, and ACME Rocket don't deviate before detonating.
  • Spider Mine doesn't scuttle towards the nearest player before detonating.
  • You (and only you) are treated as killing players who die directly due to an explosion caused by Detonation.
  • If you detonate your own effect and kill a player, you won't be treated as killing them twice.
  • Items in non-player inventories cannot be directly affected by Detonation. (However, a BOOM-erang item inside a BOOM-erang Debuff can indirectly be affected.)
  • An Explosive Sheep inside a Filled Pocket Ball is not affected by Detonation.
  • Set/released explosives are essentially stored in their connected remotes, so they only detonate during the detonation of their remotes. (Note that they do explode on the space stored in the remote rather than on the space of the player with the remote.) Also, remotes are "detonated" even if a connected explosive does not exist; the remotes are simply removed from the game in this case. This applies to ACME TNT Detonator, Frost Mine Activator, Glue Mine Activator, and Sheep Activator.

Magical Items/Skills[edit | edit source]

The below items/skills can be charged with Spells. When an uncharged item/skill is charged, it gains the Spell category.

Spell Reflectors And Redirectors[edit | edit source]

Reflectors[edit | edit source]

Redirectors[edit | edit source]

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Spell reflectors and redirectors work vs. a player-cast spell by completely blocking a cast spell's effect and then making the player with the reflector/redirector cast a new spell (or up to 2 new spells for Ley Prism) with the same name (and effect) as the blocked spell.
  • Spells cast with reflectors and redirectors bypass Silenced.
  • Reflecting or redirecting Life Link can still end up with both you and the original caster linked under the Debuff.
  • If activating vs. a player-cast Spell, a Spell cast with reflectors and redirectors can trigger any relevant spell-triggered effects and can apply piercing effects.
  • If activating vs. a non-player-cast Spell, see below under In-Event Non-Player Spellcasting.

Other Player-Cast Spell Sources[edit | edit source]

The below items/effects aren't "charged" with Spells, though a player can cast Spells with them.

In-Event Player Spellcasting[edit | edit source]

In the following events, players can "cast" specific spells. (Doing this will not trigger any spell-triggered effects, though it should be noted that Silenced blocks "casting" an in-event Spell. Magical Mind can bypass Silenced in such a case, though it won't bypass being Incapacitated/Disarmed.) Most (but not all) of these events allow doing this with any Spell item/skill charged with an applicable spell.

Any Spell Items/Skills[edit | edit source]

Magic Scroll Only[edit | edit source]

In-Event Non-Player Spellcasting[edit | edit source]

The below events involve Spells being cast by non-players; these can trigger all forms of spell immunity and spell protection and effects like Magic Affinity and Amethyst Necklace.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • While Spells cast in the listed events are quite similar to Spells cast by players, they are distinct from them; when they are reflected or redirected, the newly "cast" Spell can trigger spell immunity or spell protection but will not activate any other spell-triggered effects. However, if such a Spell is redirected to another player who then reflects or redirects it, the newly cast Spell can trigger ANY relevant spell-triggered effects.
  • The Cursed Gate in the Archaeology Dig is somewhat like the events listed above; it can trigger spell immunity and some (but not all) forms of spell protection, and it won't activate any spell-triggered effects when reflected. However, it cannot trigger other spell-triggered effects like Magic Affinity and Amethyst Necklace.

Piercing Effects[edit | edit source]

Spell-Triggered Effects[edit | edit source]

The below effects activate when a Spell would be cast. They are listed in the order they trigger in, from top to bottom.

Cast-Triggered[edit | edit source]

Spell Immunity[edit | edit source]

Spell Protection[edit | edit source]

Spell Effect[edit | edit source]

  • The spell effect itself activates here.

Target-Triggered OR Affected-Triggered[edit | edit source]

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • If Silenced blocks a Spell, no spell-triggered effects activate.
  • If a piercing effect accompanies your Spell, no form of spell protection triggers, though other spell-triggered effects may still trigger (including a form of spell immunity.)
  • If any form of spell immunity or spell protection triggers for a targeting spell, no effects later in the order trigger, though any effects before it in the order may still trigger. If any form of spell immunity triggers for a non-targeting spell, the player it triggered for is not considered to be "affected" for an effect like Rylai's Crystal Scepter.
  • If you would target yourself with a Spell which you normally cannot target yourself with (e.g. On Love's Wings with V-Card), Cast-Triggered and Target-Triggered effects do not activate.
  • For interactions with spells in events, see above under In-Event Player Spellcasting and In-Event Non-Player Spellcasting.

Other Spell-Related Effects[edit | edit source]

Secret Interaction[edit | edit source]

This is regarded as one of the secrets of BGO.
