Forgotten Stories Spells

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 changelog lowers the upcasting damage increase from 30% to 20%. Read this with the older FAQ's definition of extra runes above a spell's base requirement: the old 30% damage figure is superseded. The FAQ's separate +1 buff-duration turn per extra rune was not changed in this post.

Do not apply the percentage to healing or multiply all equipment and affinity bonuses into a claimed final hit. The announcement does not establish rounding, a complete stacking formula or a new rune-slot limit. More rune slots still do not teach a spell.

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 changelog changes affinity damage scaling from 2% to 1.5%. This is a damage-scaling correction, not an announcement of higher affinity caps or a new way to allocate skill points.

The brief post does not publish a complete final-damage equation or change the separately documented Physique and Runesight bonuses. Do not replace every percentage on the stat screen with 1.5% or infer a best build from this single value.

Official changelog · 2026-09-10 UTC

The September 10 announcement gives an equipped Dreamer Tome +1 Mana regeneration and +1 PEN for elemental-type damage. Dreamer's innate elemental-damage bonuses are 2.5% / 5% / 7.5% across levels, and its innate Health reduction is fixed at −6. The current cards now include the elemental bonuses and Tome stat lines.

The WIP Dreamer card still lists −8 / −7 / −6 Health; the newer official fixed −6 statement takes precedence in this guide. The Tome card's generic PEN line does not override the announced elemental restriction. Unequipped bonuses, regeneration timing and the conflicting base spell pools remain unverified.

The September 10 changelog increases Cursed Inferno's damage-over-time base start to 6. This names a DoT starting value, not total damage or a new cast requirement.

The post does not specify a new number of ticks, tick interval, full progression or final resisted damage. No matching standalone card was found in this review; do not equate the name with My Brutal Inferno or invent an obtainment route. Do not multiply six by an invented duration or present tested DPS.

Official changelog · 2026-09-08 UTC

The September 8 official changelog restricts this Book's damage buff to weapons. Do not count it as a general spell-damage multiplier. The September 9 WIP card now agrees: each Perfection stack gives +5% weapon-attack damage, up to three stacks, with +1 Stamina regeneration while the effect is active—not +1 regeneration per stack.

The card, rather than this short announcement, describes losing all stacks after taking a hit or failing to land a Critical, plus +10% damage taken per stack on getting hit. These are documented risks, not a tested final-damage formula. Unwritten unlock: three consecutive Critical QTEs; writing costs 150 Ink Shards and signing costs 75 Ink; the written Book unlocks on spawn.

Racco's September 8 changelog reduces Skystruck base damage from 24 to 20 and Chaoschain from 13 to 11. Skystruck's open Trello card does not list a base number. The Chaos Chain reference was archived at the September 8 check, but the September 9 public-board check finds it open again. Its card is now included in the spell directory, with the dated official base damage distinguished from WIP effects.

This announcement changes base damage only. It does not provide a final hit, Critical multiplier, scaling formula, cost or tier ranking. Reopening a Trello card is not a new spell-release announcement. The Discord statement remains the September 8 evidence, not a new September 9 collection. No live-game damage test was performed.

Official changelog · 2026-09-06 UTC

The September 6 changelog reduces Unstoppable Wind's Speed bonus from +0.1 to +0.05, and the current Book card agrees. The card still lists +5% Wind damage and the Gustwalker spell. Writing costs 200 Ink Shards and signing costs 100 Ink; the unwritten requirement is 10 Wind Affinity and 10 Weapon Mastery, reduced to 7 and 7 when written.

The Book's passive Speed bonus is not the Gust Walker status bonus. Do not replace the status's separate +0.5 Speed with +0.05, or infer that its dodge rules changed from this Book correction. Weapon Mastery is the card's wording; it does not identify a required weapon family here.

The September 6 changelog increases Meditate's Mana gain from 3 to 4. This changes recovery planning, not the number of rune slots or the requirement to learn a spell. Reflections separately lists two extra Mana from Meditation with Vulnerable +2; Strong Minded separately grants Resilient +2 when meditating without existing stacks.

The announcement does not publish a new button, energy cost, cooldown or way to exceed Max Mana. The two Books keep their own unlock conditions and drawbacks. No combined recovery, stacking interaction or risk-free Meditation rotation was tested here.

The September 5 changelog sets Tome of Dreams cooldown to zero. This is a cooldown change only: the artifact card still describes random spell selection, halved mana cost and no progress toward obtaining Books from those casts. The official spell FAQ says seeing a spell through the Tome does not let you manually cast it without first unlocking and writing its Book.

Zero cooldown does not mean zero mana cost or unlimited actions. The artifact card describes a 3–9-rune pool, while The Dreamer card describes a 2–6 base pool with 3–9 at level three. That cross-card pool distinction remains unresolved; do not assume every Dreamer level has the larger pool.

Official FAQ clarification · 2026-08-21 UTC · edited 2026-09-02

The Game Mechanics FAQ explicitly lists Antidote or a mage's Cleansing Waters for Venomed. That supports the spell as a treatment route; it should not be described as wholly unverified. Antidote's current card also lists removal of Venomed, Dazed, Weakness and Blindness, plus 15 Health and 5 Stamina.

The FAQ does not specify normal versus Critical casting. The Trello Critical text names Venomed but links to Bleed. The healing tool therefore marks the spell's Venomed route as partial for a selected cast, rather than guaranteeing removal on either variant. Deepwound and Infection removal are explicitly Critical-only in the spell card.

Inspect normal and Critical cast details →

Check Antidote's ingredients and known recovery →

These solve different problems. Wand lists Max Mana +4 and Max Runes +1; Strong Minded also lists Max Runes +1. The official Meditate correction above changes Mana recovery to 4, not rune capacity. You still need to learn the Book that grants the spell.

The equipment and Book bonuses do not unlock every spell. Staff's Two-Handed wording conflicts with the FAQ's broad hand restriction and its own Staff guidance; Bow explicitly lists a casting exception. Check the specific record rather than treating hand labels as a universal rule.

Both come from Hailreign Chronicles. Blizzard lists five Water/Wind hits against all enemies, or six on Critical. Icicle targets one enemy, applies Chilled +2, and adds one more Chilled stack on Critical.

Different target counts and status effects do not establish which spell has the highest final damage. No per-hit damage value is supplied here.

Pressure Chamber grants Boiling Burst. Its card lists five Water hits, six on Critical, and consuming Ablaze for area damage. The Book separately says Water attacks on burning enemies consume Ablaze to create a steam explosion.

Do not assume the explosion's damage, radius or number of hits; those fields are not established by this wording. The September 9 card check explicitly says Boiling Burst does not apply Chill with Hailreign Chronicles; do not use its five or six hits as a freeze-building plan.

The normal cast heals one party member, reduces most debuffs by three stacks and adds Regeneration +3. Critical raises reduction to five, adds another Regeneration stack, and explicitly names Infection and Deepwound removal.

The official Game Mechanics FAQ also lists Cleansing Waters for Venomed. The Trello Critical label links to Bleed, so the exact cast variant remains uncertain; see the official clarification and healing comparison below.

WIP checked 2026-09-09T01:32:55.199Z

Each of the four spell cards targets one party member and applies its matching Infused effect +3. Critical adds one more stack, making four from that cast. All four list Arts of Infusion as their Book source.

A four-stack application is not a proven maximum, duration or per-stack damage multiplier. Wind Infusion still links an archived Wind Infused card even though a same-name open status card exists; that source-link mismatch is preserved instead of silently treated as corrected.

WIP checked 2026-09-09T01:32:55.199Z

The September 9 public-board check finds Chaos Chain open again. The card points to the Chaostatic Book, lists Chaos damage and Chaostatic +3, with one additional status stack on Critical. The separately retained September 8 official statement sets base damage to 11.

Do not multiply 11 by status stacks or treat it as final hit damage. The reopening does not establish a new release date, mana cost or tested availability. The Book and the same-name Chaostatic status have different roles.

WIP checked 2026-09-10T01:32:37.446Z

The current WIP source replaced the Order-affinity/extra-rune healing expression with a 15-HP on-cast cap, still affected by the target's incoming healing. It remains a starter spell that heals one selected party member and reduces Bleed by two.

This is a documented card revision, not a newly confirmed Discord patch. It does not give enough information to compute final healing, rune scaling or a guaranteed Critical result. Runevorant's separate enemy move named Mend is not the player spell.
