is casting beast ceremony twice good at lvl 2?


Recommended Posts

Casting spells multiple times doesn't make them stronger in Avernum. It can increase the duration, sometimes dramatically (you can make perpetual Light pretty easily), but you can't haste, shield, or bless yourself more.

Um, I'd like a moment for rebuttal. TM did some testing on this and discovered that the blessing and shielding statuses do in fact have an increased effect at higher strengths. There is a low ceiling on it, but it does exist. That said, casting a buff twice does not double its strength. Divine Aid also increases in power at higher levels, and it can be presumed that a few other statuses also have a better effect at higher levels.

Then it's weird, there's an in game tip in A1 that said that cast bless two times is more powerful than bless multiply by two or something like that.

EDIT: The exact tip: Casting repeated blesses multiply the effect. Two bless spell on somebody are more than twice as powerful than one.

EDIT: For light I'll try cast it 2 times in hope of a strong effect on duration because it last very short time even at level 3.

If it's anything like every single other Spiderweb game from Exile to Geneforge, casting repeated blesses will increase the effect strength if you are casting at low skill, but there is a fairly low ceiling on the effect strength, beyond which only duration is increased when you layer the effect.
