Further Notes
  • Due to the large number of highly damaging AoE moves and knockback, mages should take care to stay at maximum casting range at all times.
  • TP moves are used slowly enough to be Stunned, but it becomes extremely difficult to land after only five or so casts.

Historical Background[]

Sippoy, Padàti, or Bhata are the names of the "foot-soldier" piece of the ancient Indian game caturaṅga (चतुरङ्ग). It is roughly equivalent to the Pawn of modern Chess. Key ItemAtma of the Would-Be King might be a pun on the fact that it is the Pawn, rather than the King (Raja) in caturaṅga.
