Detailed formulas and comparison tables
An Arcane spell with a normal cost of 20 mana
The listed cost is after Spellweaving support. Gargoyle duration is its own scaling effect.
| Base Spellweaving | Mana cost | Gargoyle duration |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | 24 | 4 minutes |
| 90 | 22 | 7 minutes |
| 100 | 20 | 10 minutes |
Eligible pet combat against monsters
Only the Spellweaving contribution, before other pet effects and integer damage rounding.
| Effective Spellweaving | Pet damage | Incoming pet damage |
|---|---|---|
| 80 | +6% | −6% |
| 90 | +7% | −7% |
| 100 | +8% | −8% |
Spellweaving stops at 100. At that value, Arcane mana and Gargoyle duration reach their support limits; eligible pet damage and defence each receive an 8% contribution.

Skills that work with it
Advanced notes
Things to remember
- A successful action gives a chance to train, not a guaranteed skill increase.
- Arcane mana efficiency and Gargoyle duration cap at 100. Companion damage support also stops at an 8% bonus there; defence support also reaches 8% at the 100 skill cap.
- These optional companion bonuses apply only against eligible monsters. Spellweaving is not required by the recommended Beastmaster template, which uses its skill points for pet control, defence and self-healing instead.
- Spellweaving cannot damage tamed or player-owned pets, including pets owned by other players. Arcanism follows its separate PvM spell rules.
Training and Skill Progression
TRAINING / SKILL PROGRESSION
One recommended activity for each skill range, with a short note on what you need.
Before you start: set Spellweaving to Up and leave room under the shared 720-point total. Set an unwanted skill to Down if the total is full.
NPC training: when the trainer listed for this skill offers a lesson, the fixed price is 300 gold and the lesson can reach 50.0 if both the individual and total caps have room.
Training area: supported Academy actions receive 5× normal gain through 80.0. An action still needs to run a real skill check; the Academy bonus cannot make an automatic or blocked action train.
Recommended training
Repeat the single activity listed for your level. These are practical training choices; the ranges are recommendations, not new unlock requirements.
| Your skill | What to repeat | Quick note |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0–49.9 | Cast Arcane Shard successfully | Learn the spell and meet its Arcanism / Magery requirement. |
| 50.0–69.9 | Cast Astral Flare successfully | Its difficulty-55 check stays eligible below 70. |
| 70.0–100.0 | Cast Celestial Wrath successfully | Its difficulty-85 check stays eligible below 100. |
Rules and numbers
Arcane mana cost and Gargoyle duration improve until Spellweaving 100. Every successful Arcanism action offers a normal Spellweaving training check, subject to locks, caps and training limits. For eligible pet combat, damage support caps at 8% at skill 100; defence support reaches 8% at its skill cap of 100. These are separate from Pet Mastery and Codex bonuses. Direct, area, delayed and summoned Spellweaving effects cannot damage tamed or player-owned pets, including pets owned by other players. Arcanism follows its separate PvM spell rules.
Exact rules and scaling
| Skill or situation | What it means |
|---|---|
| Spellweaving 0 | Double normal Arcane mana; Gargoyle lasts 1 minute |
| Spellweaving 50 | 1.5 times normal Arcane mana; Gargoyle lasts 3 minutes |
| Spellweaving 80 | 1.2 times normal Arcane mana; Gargoyle lasts 4 minutes |
| Spellweaving 100 | Normal Arcane mana; Gargoyle lasts 10 minutes; eligible pet damage +8%, incoming damage −8% |
Listed amounts describe the stated conditions. Equipment, target rules, damage, healing limits and other effects can change the final result. An example of a chance is never a promise of the same outcome on every attempt.
