Every spell combo in Dragon Age: Origins, listed
Magic has always existed in the world of Dragon Age, and taking advantage of spell combos can help your team hit harder and faster when fighting. Spell combinations are the result of certain spells being cast at the same target.
There are 10 known spell combinations in Dragon Age: Origins that players can take advantage of. When these are discovered, a new entry is created in the player's in-game Codex.
Spell Name | Comination | Effect |
---|---|---|
Advanced Reanimation | Spell Might + Animate Dead | Summons a skeleton minion that is 0.9x the caster's level. |
Combination | Death Hex + Death Cloud | If a target who has been afflicted with Death Hex enters a Death Cloud, the Death Hex is dispelled and the target suffers Entropic Death. This deals 200 + 2x your number of Specialization Points in spirit damage to the target. |
Flame Quencher | Grease Fire (Grease + Any Fire Spell) + Blizzard | Stops a Grease Fire. |
Grease Fire | Grease + Any Fire Spell | Using a Fire Spell, set Grease (created by the mage spell Grease) on fire to cause a Grease Fire. The Grease Fire will cause 30 fire damage every 1.5 seconds for 20 seconds to any target that stands in/walks through the Grease Fire. |
Improved Drain | Vulnerability Hex + Drain Life or Mana Drain | If you combine the Vulnerability Hex with the spell Drain Life, it will deal 100% more damage to your target and generate 100% more healing.
