@ 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.

Something that gets me is if I'm trying to become number 1 in the book of mages, and I have to fight my clan leader, I can't if I'm the leader. AM i supposed to have already beaten my leader or loose the election if i haven't?

Not going to lie. Had I played this game before I played the sequel, I would've never given the sequel time of day. This game is pretty horrid. To think that a single low shield can deflect two low attacks. It makes the whole mechanic of leveling up attacks or shields useless. You burn up more mana trying to deal damage with a level 2+ attack when a level 1 shield deflects all damage at nowhere near the cost of the attack. This game is literally a contest to see if you can drain the enemies mana before they can kill you.

Have won with Red Fire and Ice Water, wondering if its possible to win as any other clan? Ice Clan Leader and Red Clan Leader are difficult, even as a member of those clans, are they possible to beat as, say, Sea water?

Can the game be beaten with the poison character? I did whatever I could, but it did not work. His attacks are too strong for the attack or defense, and twice makes it even worse. There is not enough time to drain his mana or kill him with poison. Is it possible?

game, so this is the beginning, and, yes, not as great as The Dark Times, but still pretty good.

@esran, yes, but you kinda have to cut it close.. my strategy is to keep burning mana and countering his low attacks (you'll lose 20 hp every time, though) until you can use your defense sheild, then you continue burning mana/countering low attacks until you can use silence, and then silence him and get a high attack on him, then burn his mana. silence again, then finish him off

@speedypants, this is the FIRST Book of Mages game, so this is the beginning, and, yes, not as great as The Dark Times, but still pretty good.

I was the clan leader of chaos fire and failed to win in the great mage election. Then the clan leader of chaos fire became great mage. hehehehe

I wonder what if we could somehow.......Bring back the mage we descended from.Like say im a poison water mage and there was once a powerful mage that passed away.Maybe just maybe a darkfire mage could i dont know bring him back as a skelton? (Suggesting darkfires begin able to do nercomancey).

hm, seems to be impossible to beat the red fire clan leader as a dark fire mage with his huge mana pool and 6hd, 6la. Good thing I didn't have to fight him at the Grandmage election, as he was somehow impressed with my amount of Mana
