One of the most unique features of Fields of Mistria is the inclusion of magic. It's not something that you unlock at the start of the game, and figuring out how to get your first spell can be a bit confusing. Find out how to unlock your magic and get more spells in Fields of Mistria right here.
How to unlock magic in Fields of Mistria
To get your first spell in Fields of Mistria and unlock your magical abilities, you need to make your way to the mine. If you haven't unlocked the mine yet, head over to my Fields of Mistria Walkthrough and Guide to find out how. Opening the mines takes a little effort, but I'm sure you'll finish the request in no time at all!
Once you've opened the mine, make your way down to floor 10 by smashing rocks open with your pickaxe until you find each set of ladders. Every five floors, you'll gain access to the elevator, so don't worry about missing anything.
After you get to floor 10, head back to your home. Or, like me, you can keep going and faint on floor 19.
Once you go to sleep (or pass out), Caldarus will appear to speak to you. He can feel magic returning to the land and now has the power to bestow upon you the one human-safe spell he remembers.
Enjoy your first spell: Full Restore.
How to get more spells in Fields of Mistria
Now that you have access to your Mana and your first spell, it's time to tackle the mine again. Make your way down to floor 20 and you'll find a strange room with a tablet and a door blocking you from getting any further into the mine.
The game gets a little hand-holdy here. Go and speak to Eiland (who is super enthusiastic about the whole thing), and you'll end up going with him to talk to Juniper.
Juniper is able to translate the text on the tablet, which tells you what offerings to make to get past the door.
You'll need the following items:
- A Lantern Moth
- A Ruby
- A Stone Loach
- An Upper Mines Mushroom
All of these can be found in the first 20 floors of the mine (also known as The Upper Mines".
Take these items to the room on floor 20, and place them as offerings in the four clawed hands. Once the door opens, Caldarus will give you your second spell - Summon Rain - as a reward for getting into the Tide Caverns (this area encompasses floor 21 to floor 40 of the mine).
A door like this appears every 20 floors, and opening the door will give you a new spell each time.
