The answer first
Theodoris is the first magic trainer in Magdal’s Rest. Complete his Lost Tome trust quest by following the beach left from the starting boat, defeating the madman near the small obelisk, and returning the used tome. He teaches the basics and gives you a fresh tome. Update 7 also refined and rebalanced spell crafting and fixed crafted spells failing to use every effect placed on them.
Find Theodoris and complete Lost Tome first
Theodoris withholds the first lesson until the player recovers the tome he sold to a beach madman. The complete current-video route is now documented on the dedicated Lost Tome guide rather than duplicated here.
Understand the three magic skills
- Sorcery covers destructive or elemental spell use.
- Channeling covers protective or regenerative spell use.
- Psionics covers mind, perception, or reality-altering effects.
- Skills grow through use, while level-up points accelerate selected skills.
Select and cast a learned spell
Current footage opens the Magic tab, selects Night Eye, and uses the normal cast or attack action to toggle it. Because controls can be rebound, follow your current controls menu rather than one universal keyboard key.
What Update 7 changed
NerveLabs says Update 7 refined and rebalanced spell crafting and fixed crafted spells so every effect placed on a spell is used. Hotfix 5 had already made the Unlock spell craftable, while Update 6 added a jump spell and stopped identical effects stacking.
