Arcanists/Book of Stone

This page is for objective, encyclopaedic content. There is a separate forum page to discuss tactics and strategy.

The Stone book has many attacks which cause considerable damage to the landscape and buildings. This book often uses Pebble damage, which does double damage to buildings. Pebbles, generally, will not do much damage by themselves, but they are excellent at digging. Many of the spells in this book involve splash damage, while others concentrate on blocking and trapping.

Spells

Icon	Spell	Level	Type	Number of Charges	Charge Time Initial/Recharge	Destruction Radius	Maximum Damage	Description
	Pebble Shot	1	Bolt	Infinite	0/1	Large	50 pebble damage	Fires 10 small pebbles which considerably damage the terrain if they do not hit a target.
	Scatter Rock	2	Ball	4	0/1	Medium	75 pebble damage	Shatters into a number of small pebbles upon impact.
	Quake	1	Arena	Infinite	3/5	N/A	68	Shakes the arena and damages all towers. It does no damage to players but may knock them into water or dangerous objects. Note that it does not affect the clock tower.
	Disruption	2	Ball	2	0/1	N/A	125	Shatters into five Mud Balls.
	Mud Ball	1	Ball	4	0/1	N/A	25	Encases the target area in mud, trapping players and minions.
	Mega Boulder	2	Ball	2	3/1	Large	200(4x50)	Starts off as a larger-than-average bomb. After a brief period of time, it turns into a giant ball which bounces, destroying the surrounding area four times. It is heavier than other balls and bombs and will not travel as far with equivilent power gauge. If it goes up very high and hits an arcanist without hitting any landscape, it will do 100 damage. Only reaches full power when drops from high and hits land next to the arcanist, making it deal 50 each hit with four hits, which is more damage than the direct hit.
	Rock Slab	1	Targeted	Infinite	0/1	N/A	N/A	Creates a small slab of land, often used for trapping an opponent, self protection, or a manner of escape from a hole.
	Fortress	2	Tower	1	0/-	Small	100hp	The strongest tower in the game. It is also probably the largest, though,(excluding sanctuary) making it the most obvious target.
	Summon Dwarf	1	Minion	Infinite	0/5	N/A	N/A	Summons a Dwarf, which can mine or set dynamite.
	Summon Rock Golem	2	Minion	Infinite	3/5	Small	N/A	Summons a Rock Golem. Note that a Rock Golem has similar damage resistance to an Arcanist with a Pet Rock (and resistance bonuses are added if the Golem's owner also has Pet Rock familiar).
	Meteor	3	Targeted	1	5/-	Massive	175, mainly pebbles	Drops a huge rock through the terrain, usually digging all the way through to the waterline. Shatters into pebbles on the way down. It is still affected by fire shield & wind shield, however, and can be thrown far off course by a blizzard, storm, or an English Summer.
	Fissure	3	Targeted	1	5/-	Incredible	2625, mainly pebbles	Fires scatter rocks from the bottom of the map. On the turn in which it is cast a few are fired: on the subsequent turn, a lot are fired.

Familiar

The familiar for the complete Stone book is a Pet Rock. It reduces damage taken (by you and your minions), usually by 5 (at level 5) for each hit to you or your minions; this means that although a single shot such as Fireball would be reduced from 50 to 45, multiple shots such as Thunder Shock would be reduced from 5 to 1 each; so the total damage would only be 10. The familiar never gives immunity to damage, no matter how small. The familiar will also reduce the amount of HP you recover from Heal Sphere.

Minions

Sprite	Name	Health	Spells	Number of Charges	Charge Time Initial/Recharge	Maximum Damage	Spell Description
	Dwarf	50	Mine	Infinite	0/1	50	Allows the dwarf to mine through the earth towards a target. The dwarf will travel directly through Arcanists and minions, making it difficult to hit throughout the whole move(only true if you don't put the target right on the dwarf, which then it will deal 75 total to the thing right next to it). Terminates once the Dwarf reaches the target or Mine has gone for its full duration.
			Kablam!	Infinite	0/1	75	The dwarf lays dynamite and attempts to run away. Deals double damage to Towers.
	Rock Golem	100	Wallop	Infinite	0/1	30	The Golem's fist travels a short way away from its body to hit the target.
			Scatter Rock	4	0/1	75	See above.
			Mega Boulder	2	0/1	200	See above.
			Mud Ball	4	0/1	25	See above.

A dwarf cannot jump very high, but has a decent long jump. A rock golem cannot jump high or far, but has damage resistance.

Trivia

• The Quake spell's information is incorrect, stating that it does 30 damage instead of 68.
• The mega boulder spell's information is also incorrect, stating that it does 250 instead of 200.
