Stratagems

• Stratagems make up the core of Scholar gameplay. Drawing upon the power within the pages of the Grimoire, Scholars can use these mystic arts to enhance your magics in spectacular ways!
• The two shades of the mystic tome, the White and Black Grimoires, can each be called upon by using the respective abilities, Light Arts and Dark Arts.
• Stratagems recharge at a rate depending on your current level. See the chart below for the rates at each level tier.
