Secret World Legends Spotlights Blood And Chaos Magic
With the NDA still in place, the shroud of secrecy continues to remain over Secret World Legends. Funcom, however, continues to tease fans with tidbits of information about the upcoming MMORPG’s combat and weapon mechanics. In their latest Twitter post, the team shines the spotlight on two more weapon types: Blood and Chaos Magic.
Blood Magic makes use of a meter that shifts to the left or to the right depending on what abilities the players use. Moving the meter to the left increases the player’s damage while moving to the right increases the players healing abilities.
“Casting your Blood Magic abilities adds points of Corruption or Martyrdom, causing the meter to move to the left as you gain Corruption, and to the right as you gain Martyrdom. Each of the two sides of the meter scale to a maximum of 100 points. Gaining points of Corruption while on the right side of the spectrum will reduce your level of Martyrdom, and gaining points of Martyrdom while on the left side of the spectrum will reduce your level of Corruption.
While on the Corruption side of the spectrum you deal increased damage, take self-inflicted damage when attacking, and have reduced incoming healing at specific Corruption point thresholds.
While on the Martyrdom side of the spectrum you heal your target for an additional amount, take self-inflicted damage when healing, and have reduced incoming healing at specific Martyrdom point thresholds. Both sides of the spectrum have the same 3 important point thresholds. The first threshold is reached when above 10 points, the second threshold is reached when above 60 points, and the final threshold is reached when above 90 points.”

Chaos Magic, however, is more random in nature and involves a little bit of math. Don’t worry, you won’t need to bring out your calculators yet.
“Whenever you deal damage divisible by 8 with a Chaos Magic ability you generate between 2 and 4 Paradoxes. Your affinity with Chaos Theory allows you to bend probability and have a 30% chance to deal damage divisible by 8. Once 8 Paradoxes have occurred, a random powerful event triggers and your Paradoxes are consumed. The potential events are: Singularities, Enigmas, or Doppelgangers.”
