Magic Affinities in Remixed Dungeon determine which spells are available to a character class or hero subclass. Each class typically has a primary affinity which grants access to specific spells.

The magic affinity system is implemented in several Java files:

// In SpellHelper.java
public static final String AFFINITY_NECROMANCY = "Necromancy";
public static final String AFFINITY_ELEMENTAL  = "Elemental";
public static final String AFFINITY_RAGE       = "Rage";
public static final String AFFINITY_DEMONOLOGY  = "Demolonogy";
public static final String AFFINITY_NATURE      = "Nature";
public static final String AFFINITY_SHADOW      = "Shadow";
public static final String AFFINITY_COMMON      = "Common";
 
// In HeroClass.java
private String magicAffinity = Utils.EMPTY_STRING;
 
// In SpellFactory.java
static private Map<String,ArrayList<String>> mSpellsByAffinity;

The affinity system is implemented using Lua scripts in scripts/spells/SpellsByAffinity.lua and scripts/spells/CustomSpellsList.lua:

-- In CustomSpellsList.lua
local spells = {}
spells["Necromancy"] = {"RaiseDead","Exhumation", "DarkSacrifice","Possess"}
spells["Common"] = {"TownPortal","Heal","RaiseDead","Cloak","Calm","Charm"}
 
spells["Combat"] = {"DieHard","Dash","BodyArmor","Smash"}
spells["Rogue"] = {"Cloak","Backstab","KunaiThrow","Haste"}
spells["Witchcraft"] = {"Roar","LightningBolt","Heal","Order"}
spells["Huntress"] = {"Calm","Charm","ShootInEye","SummonBeast"}
spells["Elf"] = {"MagicArrow","Sprout","HideInGrass","NatureArmor"}
spells["Priest"] = {"Heal","Calm","Charm","Order"}
spells["PlagueDoctor"] = {"Heal","Calm","Charm","Order"}
 
spells["Dev"] = {"TestSpell", "CurseItem"}
 
return spells

The hero class determines the magic affinity:

// In Hero.java
public boolean hasMagicAffinity() {
    return !heroClass.getMagicAffinity().isEmpty();
}
 
// In HeroClass.java
private String magicAffinity = Utils.EMPTY_STRING;

• Java: SpellHelper.java
• Java: SpellFactory.java
• Java: WndHeroSpells.java
• Java: HeroClass.java
• Lua: SpellsByAffinity.lua
• Lua: CustomSpellsList.lua

• Abilities_Default: “Mastery”
• Abilities_Common: “Common Spells”
• Abilities_Elemental: “Elemental Spells”
• Abilities_Necromancy: “Necromancy”

• Spell availability - Characters have primary access to spells matching their affinity
• Cross-affinity access - Some classes may have access to multiple affinities
• Spell learning - Affinity affects how spells are learned and used
• Mastery titles - Different affinities have different mastery titles determined by string resources

• Choose classes based on preferred spell affinities
• Understand which spells are available to your character
• Plan spell usage around your character's affinity
• Consider class-specific affinities when building your character
