Sorry.I forgot to tell you that when i was 9,FOUR YEARS AGO,i played Book of Mages on Kongregate and it started my journey into flash games.When i saw this come out,i nearly fainted XD i plan to be on the watch for any more BOMs to come Adios, Valentyne the Great 

valentyne
I actually beat corruptor my first play through XD i had no idea what i had done.I played as a chaos desert mage.anyway,very good game.i hope to see another soon.maybe an autosave slot too?i accidentally erased hours of work in one click. 

mmmaaatttsss
how come the opponent always uses less mana when he casts bolts? 

mmmaaatttsss
ok, poison works now. 

michl7
i just forgot: always bring life and mana up with the others. when improved all skills you wanted to, you also raise life and mana 1 level. i normally have ~200 life and ~500 mana at the time fighting values are maxed out. from this position now 10 mana moves and than live - mana parallely. 

michl7
noah6822: chaos is quite easy to play, as he doesn't need defense (he has twice). i didn't have any problems to win (#1 in ranking and great mage) by the following: training: --------- - level up ha, la to max together with life and mana also to 10 as high level magic take ha, la, ap and c (in this order) get clan special from the left to the right (in this order) - at (10 - 10 - 10 - 10) in (ha, la, life, mana) switch to bring up ha, la additional bolts and ap to the maximum and also the damage (right from mana) and max out the levelable clan specials - when you have maxed out everything on fighting values except hd and ld (they are still at 1 and stay there!) you train 10 points only in mana and then parallely mana and life (you need lots of those to beat up #3, cause otherwise his mana shield is crucial for you in the end). missions, ranking fights etc.: ------------------------------ chose your side and play your character with some consequence (good or bad). forget being in the black robes, chose white (if you try to become great mage as black robe, they'll trigger the poison), and i don't think that you can get as many skillpoints otherwise than from missions when playing neutral, but didn't try this. when you have no missions, improve your ranking. And at last i want to say 5 words: "Don't forget to have fun." :-)

Hi mmmaaatttsss, I checked the game and poison is working fine. Make sure the version you see at the main page is latest version 1.22. Also, if enemy and you both are poisoned, the poison effects are cancelled out(for example if you are poisoned with 5 and opponent with 3, next round it becomes you 2 and opponent 0). If it still doesn't work let me know, I figure out the problem. 

mmmaaatttsss
by the way BEST GAME EVER!!! 

mmmaaatttsss
poison for the poison clan doesn't work for some reason! 

shuwan
Just uploaded an update. Version 1.22 MichL7 thanks for the bug report. I got it fixed. Now you cannot get in Book of Mages until you have participated in the Young Mage Contest. Also there is no one to challenge until you have reached level 20. noah6822, glad you like the game :) I double checked the reduce special effect of Chaos Desert, it works fine. The bolt must hit the enemy to reduce special. Try level up the skill so you can reduce more special. We have made some adjustment to our website. You wont lose your save-game anymore!  

noah6822
when i attack and add the reduce special effect, it doesn't work. FAVORITE GAME!!! WAITED YEARS FOR IT!!! SO WORTH IT!!! 

michl7
now i finally found something suboptimal (probably just, because i played it too strong :-)). i was number 75 in the ranking before young mage contest even started. after having won it, i was reset to number 93. i don't think the game should do that! 

michl7
aha, that's why i couldn't figure out, what burn actually does. :-) The only bug i meanwhile found, is well known here, as i read above. when i once tried to list history, the program disappeared forever. I think, that much worse quality of software than this one is being sold. For a free game the quality already is world class. Thanks a lot for the effort shuwan! 

shuwan
Thanks supermage, I have fixed the bug. It should work fine now. We are still working on the load history function. 

supermage
Special drain for chaos and burn for burning hill dont work anymore! 

shuwan
Hi everyone, Just uploaded an update, version 1.20 The History function is still not 100% ready, there are some bugs with the history. The idea is to allow players to paste their history for other people to view. Skill Changes: Dark Woods mages' spell "remove effect" requires 60 mana instead of 20 mana. Chaos Desert mages' spell "remove effect" minus blood(2xeffect level). Increase starting points from 3 to 10(to make the game easier). If both mages have poison effect on them, the effect are cancel off(similar to mana burn). reduce points required to level up Poison from 30 to 20. reduce points required to level up Mana burn(Great Sea) from 20 to 10. Improve Building hit detection. The ? mark that explains how to use magics during battle can be closed. Bugs: Fixed "rank 2nd in book of mages, challenge Chaos Desert clan leader instead of mission" 

zaorish
There is a problem with the game: I'm black robe, and number 2 in the book of mages. I got a quest when I have to talk to the leader of Chaos Desert (number 1 in the book), and when I try to talk to him I challenge him to ranking fight. After I win I try to talk again but he's talking his standard stuff about "atacking, atacking, atacking...", and I can't finish that quest... BTW: The game is great! Thanks for making it! 

mmmaaatttsss
Great game. Whenever I save, my file's never there the next time I play. I use the same computer, same website and stuff, but it still won't come. 

iluvmyself
is anybody online today? 

iluvmyself
does anybody post anymore? 

mewthree
I found a glich when you are second on the book of mages ranking and you go to Battelbeard (blackrobe quest) after you have killed the three intrudors at the prison to claim your reward,you automatically challange Battelbeard to fight.Nothing wrong with that but if you talk to him again he is just going to tell you about clan special magic and so on,so you can't continue with the game anymore.Please fix that 

spottedtalon
And- (Yes I am the person who posted above) BOOK OF MAGES: THE DARK TIMES IS JUST TOO CONFUSING! (sorry) 

spottedtalon
The game is great....(WAY better than Book of Mages 1) but too confusing! No offense, but the first one was simple and- easy? I am totaly lost and i have no idea how to use the special magic, or the fancy attacks where you can do hight attacks and low attacks at once. But i shouldn't be so negative. Book of Mages 2 is... AWESOME! Good parts about it: -You can choose what your character looks like (YES!) -You can choose your name! (No, offense, i was etting tired of being called Wilson after a while) -you can do quests -You have more health, stats, whatever... (It was getting kind of annoying in book of Mages 1 when you had to go into the mana cave 6 times to get one training point) -The places look different (every siingle clan in Book of Mages 1 looked the same, exept the background had different colors...) -And, its just plain better! Thanks for making the game! (I practically waited a whole year for the new one to come out!) 

cyw2010
To acquire the 'SATAN' reputation easily, simply choose Burning Hill or Chaos Desert (Chaos Desert is the BEST) and play your game accordingly. Remember you don't have to learn twice. Just learn ONLY LA,HA,C and clan Additional 5 HA LA and also Burning...With these 2 skills you can defeat anyone except 3rd place (Burnstorm of Burning Hill),but you can also beat him easily with 15 power or so and 400hp+ Just follow the ordinary black robes quests which is MUCH MORE EASIER than whiterobes since you only have to defeat the stupid 'main city' and 'wilderness' goers. Remember to also visit dark alleys for free joiner.Even Lighttouch from Iceland can be found at dark alley, who will refuse and be easily beaten. Another tips is to go to every clan and visit their main city, dark alley and wilderness to have advantages over all their events. Remember most of the times being good gives you much more skill points than bad.So you can be good for a while since they have no effect on your final reputation,SATAN. Shall you make it to the CROSSROAD easily, choose not to be a servant to POISON WATER stupid magi. Free yourself from the poison AND not to drink any potions again. Simply defeat BLOODSTER, PONDANGER and gangs and you are the GREAT MAGE,black. Finally, defeat the White Robes like pieces of cake. Also bully Shiverfrost and Darklove while depleting Burnstorm's mana by sheer power or surviving his Combined Attack once,since after his first combined attack he will have NO mana left even if your power is 10 ONLY. Hope my suggestion is detailed enough, since you played 15 games or so. 

nitram_great
i think this is a very good game, and i like that the sequel starts only a few years after the first one, gives the impression that if you beat this game, you are straining to beat yourself in the sequel. decent game play, and the many clan choices give it excelent replay value, i am on my 15th play through it ^_^. my only 2 big suggestions is making a multiplayer option, and making the game longer. if there was even 5 years more of gameplay, it would really help with the election. i am also putting a shoutout there, if anyone can tell me how to go pure evil as a black robe, and win, i would apreciate it. P.S. plz excuse the spelling errors, i'm not all that good at it. (spelling that is) 

shuwan
Hi guys, shadow: there is no limit to mana and hp, you can level up as much as you want. A big thanks to cyw2010 for helping out answering questions! I think you know the game better than we are :) We am working on the save and share history function, it takes much longer than we thought), and also we are busy getting an office! I am targeting to have next update ready by end of this week. 

shadow
wath is max lvl of mana and hp? 

cyw2010
Huh?35 years for a neutral mage?You can actually change from neutral from black robe by losing to Bloodster. The game is easy and balanced enough, I think, except for poison water and sometime dark wood. Thanks again to the creator I waited for about 2years for this sequel=) 

shadow
ah bieng neutrial is lame well atleast 35 years i becomed grate mage 

cyw2010
To shadow:To win the final battle of Book of Mages 1)Dark Fire Mage will not be a problem, he is too weak with 350 hp. 2)You can beat Burnstorm by having more than 300-400hp and 13-15 power and Ring of All Rings. Just attack him and let him use mana shield.When he attacks with 600 damage, put up a combined attack so you will have bout 200hp left.(For example you are poison water,13 power and 350hp, you will have 10hp left)Then attack him again and he will have no mana left.It's even easier for Great Sea with Ring as you can simply absorb and finish him. 3)Shiverfrost NEVER uses freeze, what an easy fight.But he do use REGENERATE so do have more than 13 power and use combine attack to finish him off. Remember you should have 450hp or higher at this time. For the election, you should have good relationship with the GOOD mages. For example you can have 4 friends in the prison raid mission who will vote for you.For others like Burnghost will surely vote for you. Side tips: The election is actually easier than recruiting. For White Robes , there's a good way to ensure you can get the 'SALESMAN' Title. The way is to explore main city,dark alley and wilderness to unlock all the events in 6 clans.You will make many friends there.(You might lose to Iceshade but it's okay)And by the time you get the mission, simply venture to Ice Water(Lighttouch,Chilldream,etc), Chaos Desert(Oldhealer), Sea Water(Waterrip) and Burning Hill(Spellsoak) to recruit them.CHEERS! You recruit them easily after defeating the Black Robe recruiter.MAKE SURE you can win them, especially the Dark Fires 

bodock123
It was cool!!!! but it would be cool to after beating the game to continue where you left of and maybe there could be bonus mssions and stuff :3 and finish things you forgot to do (like how i forgot alla bout the book of mages) 

shadow
i wonder how to be elected to be white robe leader??? 

shadow
imposible to pass final battle 

redtiger101
OMG just completed the game, love it!!!!!!!!!!! awesome ghraphics the attack bolts look a bit wierd but yeah, awesome story line plz make another 1 poison water are soo annoying btw 

cyw2010
I also suggest implementing 'improving' of Enemies so the final battle of Balck and White Robes will not be too boring/easy. PS:The only improving characters I can see are the 6 rival mages of the player.(soundinghorn,rainie,bloodster,etc) 

cyw2010
Reply to dragon. Me too sometimes think there should be a number of effects removed for these skills.As poison water have to put A LOT of points into their skills only to be put to waste.I actually suggest scaling some of the 1-point-skills or reduce the scaling levels (for example poison waterbolts)so they can easily cope for the missing points. But personally I don't like this game to be COMPLETELY balanced anyway.=) Have been enjoying BoM for almost 3 years. Cyw2010

Got a weird bug,every time i try to start book of mages 2 the game goes a bit haywire and takes my straight into a battle where nothing works. 

dragon
Two suggestions: - Sea water mages skills require too many skill points to be upgraded (52 in total). They should be easier to improve (lower skill points cost). Comparatively, burning hill mages only have to spend 23 skill points on their special abilities which let them become very efficient early in the game. - The burning hill remove effects ability is in my opinion unbalanced: it allows burning hill mages to annihilate ennemy threats too easily (it's particularly annoying for poison water mages, since their poison effect is their main attack). In my opinion, the cost of this skill should be increased (mana? special points? mana and special points?). 

cyw2010
Well,I think every clan is suitable for beginners.You just need to observe and find out tactics to win =D But I didn't mean to make all clans almost same.I personally love Book of Mages just because it's imbalanced lol. Especially liked the Chaotic Period's max skill level part =). Now the Clan Magic is playing the same role instead of basic magic. 

lolidunno
It would be nice if that (?) didn't appear open at the start of every battle. By the time the player is in the young mage contest they should already know what a low attack is even if they skipped the tutorial. A simple fix would be after the tutorial, keep it minimised in the corner of the screen but tell the player that it's there if they skipped the tut instead of the normal "stop wasting my time" comment. On the topic of speech there are alot of minor errors but the most strange is when the town crier announces that dark/white robes are seeking recruits and the mages "have to" choose a side. Yet he immediately says that the player doesn't have to. This could all be much smoother if he says, "Both Dark and White robes have been spotted forcing conscription, though some mages have attempted to resist." Considering just how many typos are in the dialogue I'm just wondering when you are going to get a proof reader. Also it's nice to know that events aren't random but during gameplay there is no way to tell, just adding in the text that the alleys are empty "at present" would solve this. 

shuwan
Hi thanks for the comments. attila733: the event are at fixed location, and events are unlocked only after the town-crier announces it. I'll give more skill points at the start of the game. marccc: Sorry the game is too hard/confusing for you. Like I mentioned earlier I'll give more skill points at the start of the game and find a way to reduce chaos desert mage's damage. lolidunno: 1) i'll see how I can improve on that. 2) the events are spread over different locations. Try traveling to other clans and explore dark alleys. it's not random so you can write down where you have encountered events if you want :) 3) Bar and Marketplaces is for you to hear some gossips. Mages don't need to buy fruits or meat :) 4) I'll change the poison effect to the same as mana waves(if both are on poison effect, it cancels out, for example if you are poisoned with 5 and opponent with 3, next round it becomes you 2 and opponent 0) lordmartin: each bolt can deal up to 10 damage. With some clan's special magic it can increase significantly. 

lordmartin
Is it a bug that enemy attacks(basic) do 100-150 damage on hit 

lolidunno
Problems with the game: 1. When moving the mouse over the edge of any building it will rapidly grow and shrink not knowing if it is selected or not. 2.There is no sign that clicking on dark alleys actually does anything. I beat the game and I still don't know if anything that happens in there is random or scripted. 3. Why is it called a marketplace if you can't buy or sell any items? 4. When two poison mages fight and you use poison wave, they will also use poison wave and eventually the mage with less health and max poison damage will always lose without putting up a fight. 

marccc
0/10 played 3 game to try to see something and the chaos one keep draining my special and i cant do anything so he kill me one shot even with 600 hudnred of life 

attila733
I think the game is awesome but sometimes when exploring you just can't find any events at all especially when looking in the wilderness. Also i wish the game was longer because i don't have enough time to make my skills super good. I f they make a 3rd book of mages they should have control over more than just fire and water. But overall it is probally my favourite internet game. 

shuwan
thank for the review :) I'll look into improving dark wood mages for early game. I made chaos desert mages slightly easier because I intended to mark it for beginners. However now I am thinking if it is still necessary to have a clan for beginner. 

cyw2010
Well, I am a very experienced player in book of mages:The Chaotic Period This sequel is great....The clans are further balanced (no more 100% win with chaos->poison or ice->red or dark fire 4 low attack and defense,etc) and unique abilities became more important By the way, there are still a few flaws.I can say that life is hard for darkwood mages.They need a lot of blood, but you never get as many as NPCs until level 120 or higher.However, the minus power bolts combined with silence is great.=D While great sea and ice land are far more weaker here,the chaos desert remains imbalanced.I can easily get 'God' and 'Satan' with the burning( my max record was 15power x15=225 per bolt[you can get even higher with more items gathered though], don't forget the additional 10 attack bolts which can only be blocked by great sea too).Once you get hit by this 30 special power is lost.Your bolts number will decrease.This means one hit from chaos and you are dead. In overall this sequel requires less wits but is more entertaining.I really love this game.Keep it up! 

shuwan
Hi bolt17, the save-game only works if you are on the same computer and browser. We'll see if we should make save-game online. 

bolt17
i saved my game in all three slots to make sure it would be saved but then when i came back to play again all the load game slots were empty 

viktor55
and i dont mean with "combine" 

viktor55
lol! i have hit 270 with 1 bolt 

shuwan
Hi, thanks for the replies. I'll add in more skill points at the start of the game(or give more skill points for doing quests) in the next update, hopefully with the "save history" function ready. alphamale13: 1) yes you can still go to training ground even when you are on a mission. 2) if the offensive bolts hit each other instead of hitting defensive bolts, it will make the defensive bolts useless, and it will be a disadvantage for clans stronger in defensive bolts such as Great Sea Clans. thanks draconator for the tips :) 

alphamale13
Another change i would like to see is when Counter-Attacking or attacking in general, Have the offensive bolts hit each other instead of them passing thru to hit the devensive bolts. IE Mage 1 has 10 HA bolts and 5 HD bolts out. If i attack with 12 HA bolts 5 are taken from the HD bolts while damage is still dealt because there were 3 HA bolts that could not be stopped. 

alphamale13
Great Game Really enjoyed the story. One thing i think could be changed would be when you are about to challenge someone. I think that you should be able to do some last minute cramming in the training area before they make you go to the arena 

boneblast
could you make white robe quests easier because they very hard

It's easy to win the young mage contest if you focus on three things: 1. Low and high attacking bolts 2. The second level magics (from the magic master) for additional low and high attacking bolts 3. Mana I have found that you can win with any clan if you focus on these things. You don't need to worry about health since you will have enough bolts to avoid getting damaged and your enemies won't have damaging special abilities yet. You don't need defensive bolts because you can defend with your attacking bolts at this point without repercussions. Also, clan abilities are too costly to invest in this early for the most part. There are very few clan abilities that will be more useful at this point than more bolts or mana. I hope this helps! 

caprindo
I agree,I find it impossable to win the young mage diciding battle.I also cut off the recruting misson untll the six month warning. 

icey1011
at first start like 20 instead of 3 

icey1011
shuwan great game i hope you make more like it maybe more distinctive clan magic and more skill points add 

shuwan
hi guys, thanks for your feedback. caprindo: I have pushed back the mission by almost 1 year. It should be easier now. Black Robe missions was hard, I have pushed back most of the late game missions. sephimoth: Book of mages 1 was very straight forward, and there are some flaws in the battle design, some clans can never win another clan. Book of mages2 is much more complex and the specials are much more important than book of mages1. Player can play with different styles. Some specials will allow you to fire additional bolts. version 1.14 some typo adjust time-line: pushed back prison mission and most of late game missions. 

sephimoth
I'd say the only problem I had with it is that the balance felt off. In the previous game each clan would have their own level of attack and defense. In this game they all have the same. (e.g. if I shoot out 10 bolts, my opponent can send out 10.) This is fine in the beginning, but when you get towards the end of the game its annoying because if eventually comes down to who uses their special better. 

caprindo
Suggestion:when you gaurd the prison it's really hard,can lower the skill of the 2nd and 3rd mage you fight.Also I can't use the new looks for completing the game,is it possable to save the status of completed games to the account? 

shuwan
thanks nodcomandr. I have fixed the bugs. 1) one of the endings of "guard the prison" mission gives positive instead of negative reputation. Also the final battle gives positive reputations. How did I miss all these! 2)I took out flamier in the final battle. 3) Thanks for the suggestion. I considered that before as well, but I think you actually benefits more by doing the missions, as most of the missions give a lot more skill points than training in mana cave, and allow player to earn titles and reputations. Also I think some players might accidentally "reject" the missions. Neutral mages won't be bothered by these missions :) 

nodcomandr
First off, this game is awesome! I've played through it as white robes twice, neutral once, and today as black robes. Three things: first off, black robes missions are slightly bugged. For about half of the missions, I gained a +reputation instead of a -reputation (this shifted me from very evil to evil several times). Even when I killed people in the mission, cruely, I gained a +reputation. Secondly, I don't think as a black robe I should be fighting flamier at the last fight as he just turned traitor. Lastly, a suggestion: I HATED having to stop what I was doing to goto X town for X mission. I think that I should have the option of not going or going at my leisure to a mission. I shouldn't be forced to drop everything I'm doing and waste 1-2 months going to a town to complete a mission I don't want to do. 

shuwan
Thanks caprindo. 1) You will get another skill point at the end of tutorial(after you train in Mana Cave), it might be a little confusing so I changed it to you get that skill point right after the tutorial fight. 2) I have edited that history, it should be correct now. Also I have added in a "history" button in game, so you can view your history anytime. To upload avatar: After you log in, click "profile" and choose "upload avatar". thanks~ 

caprindo
I'm saving my glich finder files feel free to see the history for what it says. p.s. How do you get the avatar picture that goes right there 

caprindo
Just found something,my history said I cured the poison in me and killed the one known as iceroot how ever I chose when faced with that senario to contiune hiding and capture him live. 

caprindo
Oh,one other thing there are two magic points for when you go through the tutorial,you get three when you skip the tutorial,this may or may not be a bug. 

shuwan
hi caprindo, you need to learn the higher level magic call "combine". It is a level 4/5 magic. also thanks for the typo report, got it all fixed. 

caprindo
It also seems that npc poison mages are way over powered.(they stun you and then release that wing-shaped bolt)Also I can't seem to find out how to release the"wing-bolt" 

caprindo
for some reason the npcs say caste instead of cast.:? 

shuwan
Due to the new Save game system, your previous saved game will no longer be available. Sorry about that. version 1.13 3 save game slot some bug fixed some typo fixed Display "which clan" when mouse over character during battle. 

shuwan
Thanks for the bug reports krish29. I'll finish another update by tomorrow, with more save-slots and some bug fix. 1. I'll add that in when you mouse over opponent. 2. level 2 and level 3 only allows four higher magic: Additional High Attacking Bolts, Additional Low Attacking Bolts, Additional High Defending Bolts and Additional Low Defending Bolts. Level 4 and level 5 higher magic only allows player to learn Extra damage power, extra defend power, Low countering Bolts, High countering Bolts or Combine Bolts 3.the only fight player can't win is against the assassin before young mage contest. I thought it will be interesting to let players have a taste of how powerful a level 100 mage is! PS.Freeze Attack minus the amount of mana opponent uses to cast his attack. I'll add that in the description. 

krish29
spelling error: In introduction, there's a line: "....The presents of Black Robes.....". That should be "....The presence of Black Robes...." 

krish29
also it would be helpful to show the special clan magic cast by opposing mage to help in countering it more effectively i took the most time in learning the clan special magic & how they work. (i've yet not figured out how to calculate how much mana attack freeze will use!) 

krish29
spent lot of time playing in different ways. some suggestions: 1. when fighting opponent, include his name or at least clan so it will be easier for player to decide on winning strategy 2. in one gameplay, a bug occurred when player didnt (or forgot to) learn higher magic skill at appropriate level and decided at next stage to learn it, in that case the total no. of higher magic skills is less than normal 3. first fight sequence in the game in which player has to lose feels redundant 

shuwan
Hi everyone, thanks a lot for helping us testing the game :) jessesoahc: Like markofaca said, I believe the text field you where referring to is for displaying that mage's side(Neutral, white robes or black robes). Btw, I have just added in a "relationship" tab to show player's relationship with the mage he is talking to. markofaca: I just fixed that, thanks~ How did I missed that, I played through that option so many times!! Hi krish29, glad you like the game. If you encountered any part of the game you are not sure how to play and like to have more tutorial on, let me know :) I wish to reduce the learning curve. 

krish29
nice game really! a bit more complex than the previous version, so gets some time to get used to! But overall pretty good & I really liked the new storyline 

markofaca
I'm sure neutral means not a white robe and not a black robe either. It doesn't point out your affiliation or relation with the mage. 

jessesoahc
I loved the first part and now the this part too *gg* played it a lot of times (and was sleepy in the morning at work :D). I don´t know if it´s a bug but ... when you join as a white robe and try to recruit others to join you and you´re on "good" with that mage, in the textfield he appears as "neutral", but joins you after you won the battle. Hope to see more and big thx for making the game :) *play again* 

markofaca
I also noticed a bug. When you win the contest to participate in the young mages contest and when Fleatcher of Poison Water approaches you, and you choose the option not to fight him, and then choose the HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME option this happens. http://img510.imageshack.us/i/glitch.png/ 

xihui
@markofaca yes please. Go ahead and point out any grammatical/spelling errors you see in the game. Sometimes the game is too huge for us to go through each and every line of code. That's where all your help comes in handy. Thanks! 

draconator
@luckas When your power was reduced, were you fighting a dark wood mage? Their dark bolt ability does that. 

luckas
I was a burning hill mage and was in the young mage contest, but in one of the battles my atack power decreased from 2 to 1. The bug fixed itself after the battle and I won but its a bug anyway. I think you changed some names but they are mixed with the old ones and that's making things really confusing. 

markofaca
It is a great,a truky great game but the english in the game is kinda sucky. I understand that you guys don't write english fluently and I'll be more then happy to help to correct the errors. 

shuwan
Thanks guys for the feedback! emonkey1313: You can only choose appearance after you have completed the game once with that clan. mariouszful&draconator: 1)I'll figure out how to have a reset skill points button, I am thinking of allowing reset of skill points only once in game by visiting certain people. One concern is learning clan special/higher level magics requires 1 month, if reset the skill points, player will need to spend a few months to relearn the skills. 2)Corruptor or Magesblood are supposed to defeat player(they are level 100 mages, it should be impossible for player to defeat them at that point of time). Player are supposed to be rescued by Oldhealer. Player can defeat Corruptor/Magesblood after the young mage contest(if you choose to revenge). 3)fixed the typo, thanks for pointing it out~ 4)fixed, thanks. 5)fixed, thanks. Version 1.12 Fixed incorrect AI mana detection. Fixed neutral mages recruited by white or black robes. Fixed typo WhatMana...

i think i found another bug sometimes i can not chose my appearance. But this is a really great game, i am enjoying playing through this many times.

"5)While I had a battle with a Burning Hill mage and he had 5 mana and casted a High Attack which costed 6 mana." I had this problem too at the beginning of the game. My opponent only had 5 mana, but was able to cast attacks that cost 6 or 8 mana.

Hey again! I have listed some things in the game that I think they should change: 1)A wonderful idea for the game it would be a reset skill points button.I had made some wrong decisions and I couldn't undo them. 2)I don't know if this is exacly a bug,but I think Corruptor is unbeatable. 3)If you promise the White Robe Mages to let their mage win in the Young Mage Content and you don't they'll ask you to give the Mana Orb.You have 2 choices [1) Give them the Mana Orb,2)You say something like:Mana Orb?What Mana Orb?...Something like this in the game the Power and the Orb are connecting...I mean it says WhatMana Orb.Sorry I can't explain it better. 4)When I was recruiting Black Robe Mages I had recruited Witchhorn and in the next turn I explored and the event with the battle of Witchhorn and Windsailor began,but Witchhorn was neutreal instead of Black Robe Mage.I think this happens to the other mages too. 5)While I had a battle with a Burning Hill mage and he had 5 mana and casted a High Attack which costed 6 mana. I think that's all:).I'll inform you if I find anymore.

Hi icey1011, the game will end after the final battle(around year 221). PS.If you are neutral and choose not to attend great mage election, then you will only have one more battle, if you win will have a special ending :) hi draconator, thanks for playing the game so many times :) Hope you had a great time. Yes that part of history is a bug, I have fixed it and I double checked all the history again. Thanks for the bug report. Here is the corrected history: Theoden fought with White Robes in the Great Sea War against Black Robes. The White Robes won the war. Theoden fought bravely in during the war and the new Great Mage promoted Theoden as the White Mage. Because of Theoden's decision, many Black Robe Mages were saved from poison. Many were grateful and eventually left Black Robes. Soon Black Robe was disbanded. The following years, the Great Mage worked closely with Theoden the White Mage, they finally brought peace and harmony to the world. In Year 235, the Great Mage passed away. Theoden was elected as the new Great Mage.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it seemed weird to me. I beat the game (for the millionth time) as a white robe mage. Whenever a choice came up in which I could do something good or evil, I chose the good path. In the final battle, I defeated the minimum number of black robes required to end the war. I then ended the war and spared the lives of the black robe leaders (to save the poisoned black robes). However, my history said that my choice led to the deaths of many black robes, and that I was corrupt and was eventually replaced by another white mage. This seems like an odd ending since I did everything possible to increase my fame and reputation. 

icey1011
shuwan,after you pass the game you can do whatever you want but after a battle it say your journey is over. can you fixed that 

shuwan
Thanks everyone who spent time playing the game and wrote feedback :) I apologize for having so many bugs in the game, I thought I have tested it very carefully! Version 1.11 Fixed Chaos Fire magic "Additional High and Low Attacking Bolts" Fixed Great Sea magic "Additional High and Low Defending Bolts" Fixed Mana Leak Description: the effect is Mana Leak+Mana Leak Wave(3rd Skill) Fixed Mana Shield. Edit Poison Water magic. Watch out for Poison Water's level 5 clan magic: POISONED DEATH! Added in reminders to learn magic from MAGIC MASTER Sorry my tutorial isn't clear to you, muukzor. I agree BOM2 is much more complex and therefore not so easy to pick up. partion: For saving game between final battles, I decided not to because some people might wanted to load to earlier saved games to redistribute their skill points etc. If lose any battle, you can always click RETRY to fight the same battle again and try different strategy. PS.I am considering making more save-game slots. If there are more than 1 save-game slot, then it might be possible to make a save-point in-between final battle. 

luckas
I was an Sea mage and had an maximum mana leak effect of 16 in the description,but managed to do 24 mana leak effect during a battle. The skill points training description glitch is also in one of special sea clan magic(additional defend I think) 

shuwan
thanks for the comments. I am fixing up spells for burning hills and adding notice for player to visit MAGIC MASTER when you first reach level 20. Also looking into saving game for the last battle. 

partion
I love this game. I have been spending hours with this game and on my 4th try I was the great mage,god and a legend. I found it pretty easy to win with the chaos desert mages becouse you dont need to buy any of the defense skills becouse if you attack with high attack and your enemy uses high defense and on the next round he uses high attack you can just use your twice ability and attack again. I really enjoyed this game but you should be abble to spend your skill points and save after the last battle. it really sucks when you lose to those 4 last neutral guys and must start from the start of the final fight anyways,this game is great i would give it 4,5/5 

muukzor
NVM ... found it at the leader in the clan house but you should explain that in the begin like : later go to the clan house to get new abilities ! Well in the end battle you should end so you can replay it ... i died bcs a frost mage did Frost Defend and did 100 dmg each time and i did die , frost mages is too powerful. Make so you can do the last battle again please ... didn't save so i didn't know you can't replay .... THAT FREAKING SUCKS ! *****ing n00b game i say... oh no you escaped ! you escpaped ! oh you esceped ! that's the game , i loved the first one but this one isn't good at all. Please remake it. 

muukzor
NVM. But when i now took Posion and met a mage for young mage contest he did bolt on 2 ways ! please explain how to do that in the beginning ? i dont understand anything and if i got 10 in air bolts and he come from same clan he can do 13 or 14 bolts ! It's impossible to win later in the game ! 

muukzor
Well i think the Sea Clan sucks ? I tried to be them and when do i get special ? never ... i got 10 in everything , 10 in power , great hp and very much mana but my enemy does 13 bolts or like that so i cannot beat them ... i lost young mage contest and i lost when i searched for mages when i joined black robe clan. I think you should make this race more powered ? please answer. 

emonkey1313
i just found another glitch when i was in the burning hill clan and i tried to cast the mana shield but i didn't have enough mana but i pressed the mana shield button twice then the mana shield worked with too little mana. 

shuwan
Hi there kratos340, yes it is a bug sorry about it, got it fixed. Version 1.10 Fixed Freeze Defend minus mana twice bug. Fixed Ending story for neutral mages who attend Great Mage Election. Fixed a few story related bugs. Fixed Young mage contest announcement (previously if you never attend, town crier will announce player as winner) Thanks lucas and kratos340 for the bug reports. andyandy: thanks for the suggestion :). When I designed the combat system I was thinking player can control amount of power to use too! However I find it too complicated(the combat system is already complex enough), player might find the whole game too confusing, so I took out this feature. Also I think it allows player to consider more when training: player has to decide whether to go for "finish enemy fast with high power" or "lower damage but reserve more mana to last longer in battle". 

kratos340
yea while i was playing i noticed when an ice clan member uses freeze defend it takes away the mana twice and i dont know if its supposed to do that please reply cause i would like to know thanks. 

shuwan
thanks! I'll look into that asap. 

luckas
Just to be Specific that was the story where you tries to help Battlebeard to cure himself but get nailed by the poison mages and run away, having a bounty on your head later. 

luckas
I think I found another bug. I fought Soundinghorn for the great mage election and killed him, after that I lost for Treefire. In the end Wetanger said that Treefire died and somebody was elected. But Wetanger also said that Soundinghorn just saved somebody's after I killed him. There's another thing wrong for me, because if I'm not wrong, Treefire wasn't the elected great mage, It was Corpsedusk or Skullgrill, the ones who killed Battlebeard. 

andyandy
hi, thanks for another great game guys - i was (and still am) a big fan of Book of Mages 1. One small request with this game (not a bug, just a request), I want to be able to control how much power I put into each attack (& defence): i.e. if I have 10 points in Low Attack, I want to be able to attack with less than maximum power (e.g. 5 or 6 points etc). Also, if I have 10 points in High Defence, but the mage that I am fighting only has a few points in High Attack, I want to be able to spend less points on High Defence (e.g. 3 or 4 points etc) to conserve mana. Hope this isn't too complicated. If it is, don't worry, its still a great game. Thanks again for making part 2 and have a happy new year! 

shuwan
Thanks draconator :) You are very observant! Got it fixed. 

draconator
For the "Ring of All Rings," The special increase is applied on the first round of combat (before the player moves) even though the normal +10 special increase (purposefully) doesn't go into effect. I'm guessing that this is a bug. 

shuwan
Latest update Improve on the story of White Robes in Final Battle(the part luckas mentioned) Fixed spell description when training. Thanks luckas for the bug reports. 

shuwan
http://www.nobstudio.com/page/o/book-of-mages-2-game-manual luckas: at the end of the final battle did you kill the black robe leaders or spare their lives? 

luckas
In the end I was appointed by soundighorn to be great mage and had a "god" reputation, but still it said that I was a tyrant and killed those who opposed the white robes. I wonder if that is glitch or you haven't made a final for that yet. 

luckas
It's a great game, but there's some small glitches. I found that when you are training there's is some spells wich takes less skills points to train than what is showed on the description(the basic atacking bolts), also it appears that I win the young mage contest without participating. 

shuwan
Thanks for the bug reports. Version 1.08 Fixed White Mage last battle: White Mage will become the great mage after the battle. I linked it to the wrong event. Fixed advertisement glitch. benjitenji: I have double-checked Burn effect of burning hill mages to make sure it works. Also I tested to play and fight against Chaos desert mage. Yes they are not easy to fight against but with clan special spells such as Absorb Damage(great sea), Decrease Special(Poison), Freeze Attack or Defend(Ice), increase Special+Mana Attack(burning hill) and silence(dark wood), they can be defeated. I agree Burning Hill mages are weaker against chaos mages and requires more skills to win. Perhaps I'll mark Burning Hill as "difficult level". 

nodcomandr
I think I've found a bug or maybe just wrong text... I played as a white mage, made it to the very end, AND reached rank #1 mage. I won the last battle. After the battle, battlebeard supposedly melts away. But after I choose to spare the other two guy's lives, they say they are electing battlebeard as the new High Mage. First off...battlebeard just died...is his ghost gonna be the high mage? And as rank 1, shouldn't I be elected the new high mage instead of the white mage? Incredibly fun game overall though. 

benjitenji
chaos desert is unbelievebly overpowered, they swarm me with the attacks, i had five hundred health and they took out half my health, they get to attack too many times, and the stacking thing just makes them kill me in one turn, the only ones no class i tried could kill. tone down some of their abilities, because it was impossible for me to kill one. Burn doesn't work if you click play before the advertisement loads it glitches out 

pinkblood88
kk thanks dude 

xihui
hi pinkblood88, is the game loading for you already? If you see a white blank screen, just wait a little while for it to load. 

pinkblood88
i cant even load the beta! 

shuwan
thanks! Just fixed that bug. Now silence should work fine. Version 1.07 Fixed "silence" bug. 

draconator
Another bug I noticed is that the silence ability stops the player from using all abilities except for normal H and L attacks, but when used on an enemy, allows them to use some abilities such as blood bath, poison wave, mana drain wave (forgot the name), etc. This severely negates the effectiveness of this ability. 

shuwan
thanks everyone for the bug report and suggestions :) The game is simply too big for me to test everything. I have played it countless times! Version 1.06 Fixed Mana Leak Problem: If you and opponent both have Mana Leak effect, it cancels off. Fixed Absorb Damage and Absorb Life "not enough Mana" bug. Fixed history for Young Mage Contest. Fixed typo for mission "Drunk Mage" Improved on Neutral player mission in Great Mage Election. Note: I added in advice when choosing to spare or kill white mage and black mage. Player should spare white mage and black mage if he is neutral or good. Kill them if player is evil. For the music wise, I can't add in more background music as the game is already 1.5mb, it will be too big if more music is added. I guess off the sound and play your own music? :) Thanks for the bug reports heartflame and mariouszful! 

mariouszful
I think you should add a mute button in battles and more soundtracks,because this is quite a big game and it gets boring after a while(I'm talking about the music). Also,if you stay neutreal and reach the great mage election and you win,you'll see something that doesn't makes sence if you let the white robe mage live he fights you back in the story ,at the end and if you kill the black robe mage you control the black robe mages.My point is that I was neutreal and I had a balanced reputation,but I appeared in the journal as evil.I think you should replace this story with something else. Anyways...I'll post when I'll notice something else. 

heartflame
Also, the mana leak thing seems to put the game to a standstill when two Great Sea mages fight eachother. If they both have the max mana leak on eachother and they both have no mana left, then the game just stops - you and the enemy mage can't perform any attacks! I suggest either giving the spell a mana cost on yourself as well as the enemy every turn that it takes effect (so that if you run out of mana, the effect is turned off), or make it like the original game (so it's not like the poison effect). 

gemate
Excellent job! You really surprised me with your mail after 3 years but I'm really thankful because this is another masterpiece. 

heartflame
Just found a dialouge problem after fight with that drunk guy who wants your robes. It happens after you take his ring.  

heartflame
I love this game, played it for hours today! Two bugs I've noticed involve the Great Sea clan's special spells. I don't know the names of the spells (I just beat the game and am looking at the stats of the finished game. The two spells are that one that absorbs damage and heals you, and the other one that absorbs damage and adds it to your next attack). If when casting either of those two spells you don't have enough mana, they will still cast (and you would be able to cast anything else provided you had the mana). 

shuwan
version 1.05 Fixed Search for Black Robe Recruiters mission bug. Fixed White Mage Election: Now if the vote is a tie, player wins instead of the other candidate. Fixed Burn Effect for Burning Hill Mages. Fixed increase Defense Power bug: the bug was with description only. This ability increases the defense power, and is best used with another power call "Combined" Fixed Mana Shield ability, now it blocks clan effect properly. Note: Amount of Mana reduced equals to opponent's damage, only use it if you have huge amount of Mana! Thanks dragconator for the bug reports. 

viktor55
Great game some few bugs like spelling errors and stuff. I like it more than the first game, and good storyline 

draconator
One thing I noticed just now is that the Burning Hill mage's shield ability works fine for computer characters, just not for my character. 

shuwan
Thanks for the bug reports draconator! I'll fix them asap. 

draconator
First of all, I'd like to say that this game is amazing! The new and improved gameplay is awesome! There were, however, some issues I noticed: -Searching for dark robe recruiters doesn't work. It says "you found undefined and undefined" and than a dialogue box pops up where a black mage says to join, but you can't do anything. -In the election to become the white mage, the final vote was 5-5-2, but a tie was not declared. Instead, the other mage won. -The burnt effect for Burning Hill mages doesn't work -The defense increase power doesn't work and says undefined in the description -Burning Hill mage's shield ability isn't balenced. Hundreds of mana are lost in place of small amounts of HP. 

shuwan
Hi guys, Thanks for the comments. I have uploaded an updated version 1.04 fixed "incorrect player name" bug Increase required Poison effect to cast Paralyze skill for Poison Water mages. The game will be harder for players playing Poison Water mages, however since there are many enemies in game that belongs to Poison Water, this adjustment can reduce the difficulty of the game. 

xihui
Our plan is to let players send their entire game progress and story to our servers after they have completed the game. This is something we are working on. We wanted to hear your views before we actually finish up the game and publish them on other sites. Thanks for actually spending time to try the game. Keep the comments coming !! 

mariouszful
The game is a dream.I enjoyed playing this game for hours.The storyline was superb.I think that you need to fix the paralyze skill of the poison clan(it makes them overpowered). A bug that I noticed is when I was 'constructing' my mage I named him Mariouszful,but in the game the mage apperead as Theoden. It would be a wonderful idea to add a kind of online battles. That's it for now.I'll post when I notice or think of something else. Thanks. 

arachnia
Not a bad game . I like it more than the other one but I don't like that ... I put my name there at the begin of the game and well ... further in the game my name isn't the one i wrote . And ... I think that's all . I hope you'll fix that . 

xihui
erm.. nobody has any views on the game ??

Please post your feedback here after you have tried the game. We really want to know how you feel about the game. Thanks.
