Sacred 2:Combat Art Modifications

Modification or upgrades work in three levels per Combat Art. Bronze, silver, and gold, with a choice having to be made between two offered upgrades per one of the three levels as you ascend in level. Depending on how many points you alot to an aspect, the game will give you points that you can spend on upgrades that can enhance among many options, the damage, regeneration, duration and many more. The more points you spend per aspect, the more choices will become available to the player. The player can spend all their upgrade points in one Combat Art, or distribute them amongst different CA's within that same aspect.

For example, the seraphim Combat Art, Radiant Pillar allows the following options along it's modification tree:

Bronze

• Hypnosis - Attracts opponents to the center of the pillar.
• Delude - Reduces opponents' attack values within the area of effect.

Silver

• Brightness - Increases the area of effect.
• Conserve - Increases duration of Radiant Pillar.

Gold

• Magnify - Increase damage of Radiant Pillar.
• Ordeal - Inflicts twice as much damage when the opponent's health has fallen below a threshold value.

A player adding enough points to the Celestial Magic Focus will soon accrue modification points that can be allotted as the game progresses. In the above case, the player's choices within his Combat Art Modification Screen will be highlighted to show that a choice is now available. At each advancing metal-colored level, a choice of two new upgrades will make themselves available, with the player having to pick one of the two choices. For the Combat Art, Radiant Pillar, the player, when he sees the choice of upgrade option available, will then have to choose between Hypnosis or Delude as his choice of options at the Bronze level of upgrades offered.

With the progression of the game, and with more points poured into the Celestial Magic Focus... the next choice of Silver level upgrades will become available, and the player will then again have to choose.

There is a maximum of six upgrades available for each Combat Art, with a player being able to choose three of the six available options.
