Affinity

Description

Affinities represent a bond to a certain type of magic element and can be viewed as a percentage in the Occulus. Affinities will shift based on what Spells are cast.

The Occulus has the Affinities in a layout that will give an idea as to how Affinites will shift, eg. the Life and Water affinities lie next to each other and Ender lies on the opposite side of Life, therefore having some Affinity with Life and casting an Ender or Water spell will shift the Affinities towards Ender or Water respectively, reducing the Affinity with Life in the process. Ender, being on the opposite side, will reduce the Life Affinity much more than the Water spell. Reading Affinity Tomes will have the same effect.

Shifting an Affinity to 100% will lock the player to that Affinity, disabling the ability to shift any other Affinities. To unlock Affinity shifting, the Affinity tome for the opposite Affinity to the one locked is needed, dropping the locked Affinity to 80% Depth.
