poison dark water is the most op clan IIRC, I'll check but I'm pretty sure it's possible to beat anything as a poison mage.

@greatmatthew2 to beat red fire mage as a sea water mage :
Counter attack : def where the enemy att (usually low) and chain with an att at the same place. Requires to max out (low) defend and attack stats. You probably want to start mana burn to let the ennemy initiate the attack.
If you run out of mana, rest instead of defend and keep counter attacking. Heal (preferably 2) as needed.

actually there's no problem to win (number 1, great mage and invincible) with every race no matter if you choose black, white or neutral.

I found a major bug that causes a stalemate ever ending loop on the first mage trails if you level up a certain way, the 2nd mage you battle will always have the same skills as you causing this bug. this happens for all mage types that have mana burn.

Very good, There should be more RPGs like that. Could be just a little more special spells and something more than high and low attack and defence actions, but it's great, plot is good and you can feel that you are playing your own character. Really liked it.

I absolutely love this game; it's definitely one of my favorites. My only problem is that playing as certain clans will result in a 'hard cap' that you can't get past. For example, Dark Fire can beat everyone up till the Clan Leader of Red Fire with his level 4 low defense, level 6 high defense, insane mana pool, low attack, and mana drain. Silence might be able to counter the mana drain if it was possible to keep him silenced for long enough to get him to 0 mana and keep him there, but you simply run out of special (or life T.T) before that's even possible. ._.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but playing as chaos mage and assasinating Great Mage results in you being defeated in the end. There is no way to beat the Sea Mage who has full blocks and a full mana drain, as well as more mana than you, AND he automatically challenges you as you are not "good enough" to be the Great Mage.

Adter replaying this game, I have realized red fire is too OP. Like literally you have no chance to defeat them as Dark Fire

Interesting game but the story is confusing. I have played twice now and both times I did something that caused my rep to go bad. I had only the one choice in the beginning and playing Ice I made the good choice but in the end for whatever reason I got -25 clan rep fighting all the mages. This game needs to allow you to have good or bad choices, replay, or save and load or something other then having to reload and start all over from the beginning

@ atheos how to defeat him: wait till he has special 5, than after defending hight atack by hight defence strike him with hight atack - he will use first freeze, losing special. He will never use 2nd, 10 point freeze.

Found out a little "bug" in the game. If you click with right mouse, click forward, you travel to another clan whisout losing time...

it is impossible to beat the ice mage on rank 2 with a red fire mage: you burn 26 mana every 2 turns and he has 400 mana. this would take over 28 turns. on itself no problem except that every 11 turns the frost mage casts freeze 2 and hits you with 6 high bolts. this puts your death timer at 21 turns which cannot be overcome by your mana drain (because you can't drain/burn mana on the frozen turn). attacking isn't an option: he can block or overcome your max leveled attacks. balance issues. i only became the great mage because i was such a saint earlier. GJ on the second game though.

I became the Poison Water Clan Leader and now I'm on rank 7 and the rank 6 is the Poison Water Clan Leader so I got stuck and can't go up on the rank

Playing as Chaos Fire and I just can't beat the Red Fire Ranker. I know he has a weak high attack, but he has a strong high defense, his low attack is equal to mine and his special drain gives him more mana even when I didn't have all that much to begin with. How do I deal with that?

Emmm.. I got stuck while playing as a water sea clan vs the clan master, its just impossible to kill him (He heals every time and I cant out-damage him). Any help? please?

theres a glitch if youre in ice water clan and you freeze someone who is going to attack and you choose freeze and then defence the game will freeze

Because I am a new player, I actually played 'Book of Mages: The Dark Times before The Chaotic Period. Frankly, The Dark Times is a whole lot more fun!

Played this game 6-7 years ago back when i was in highschool. If i remember correctly this game was one of the best flash games i have played along with the Sony series. Came back to comment after I just replayed Book of Mages 2 to spread the awesomeness!!

Ultimate guide:
Pick Ice Water
Don't bother with Arena
Max: High Attack (ass soon as possible to beat Clan Leader 1s time as he has 6) an Low defence
When both maxed max Mana burn
During fights just do Mana burn and block(low)/parry(high) attacks untill opponent has 0 mana than make high attack, burn mana and repeat high attack.
When mana burn maxed (3) max Low attack
Don't bother with High defence just train more and more mana in Mana cave
Still use previouse tactic unless learning Freeze 2.
Change tactic by useing Freeze 2 as soon as possible than Low attack and repeat 2nd time.
Beat High mages (those with ranks).
Train mana and make all quests untill you will win whole game.
P.S. Tactic with burinng mana can be bad for mana burning opponents and than you will just have to find way to make max dmg to them.
