About the Set

Mage of the Spectrum uses a special variant skin of the High Elf's Raven Armor. It was originally conceived as a replacement design for Adornments of the Ancestors but was eventually developed into an independent set.

Mage of the Spectrum, as the name implies, is meant to boost the Elf's main role as Sacred's Archmage. This set focuses on general spellcasting and non-physical damage types, providing substantial boost to spell damage and defense against spells, but offering little to nothing in terms of close and ranged combat. As you would see from the stats, the physical component was purposefully removed from all damage and armor bonuses given by this set.
- Check the pages for the individual set pieces to read the lore and design notes for each item.

Another feature that you would notice is increased armor resistance values on many items - but don't be fooled by these numbers, as the full Spectrum set has about as much resistance as the Robe of Innocence alone. For this set the armor value that is usually focused on the chestplate was divided between five items - the chest holding the biggest value, helmet and belt receiving smaller bonuses and only a bit of additional armor on arms and legs.

Finally, this set is meant to compensate for the fact that the Elf has no Life leech sets, while Magic Coup builds can use one. It might be unexpected to see the warrior's bonus put on the purely magical set, but it partially makes up for the fact of how OP the life leech bonus is. Aspect-wise, this set boosts supportive spells of Delphic Arcania aspect, but should be more useful for hybrid builds than purely Arcane characters.

Being generally beneficial, the set was also made more rare - players would have a fair chance of getting the set items from bosses, but little chance of seeing them among mob drops and quest rewards.

The Set Bonuses

These bonuses are dependent on character level and game difficulty. As the character levels up the Set Bonus will increase on a per level basis. In some cases there will be no change in stats from one level to another. This is because some stats increase at a fraction per level up. The server difficulty being played on will also have an effect on the Set Bonuses. For example a character's Set Bonuses will be higher in Niobium difficulty than any other difficulty.
