Summary
Immortals of Aveumis a shooter, but it also revolves around magic. Players can equip special gauntlets calledSigils inImmortals of Aveumto alter their magic in the game. There are three types to choose from: Red, Blue, and Green. Red, for example, is a more aggressive type of magic.

All three types of magic have a skill tree associated with them, and skills in this game are called Talents. Characters don’t level up upon completing quests or defeating enemies like in other RPGs. They instead earn points to buy Talents in these skill trees. So, of the many Talents inImmortals of Aveum, these are the ones to get to as fast as possible.
8Greater Vial
Greater Vial is a Talent under the Green Magic skill tree. It allows Jak to cast another Limpet at a consecutive time. Limpets are one of the Totems that players can use throughout the game, which are secondary spells assigned to theD-Pad of the controller. Limpets, when they attach to certain enemies, will slow them down. If an enemy has a shield up or if a boss is too strong, the Limpet will not work. There are limitations, but it is still a strong spell/tool in the game.
7Living Explosion
There is another use for Limpets, and it is one of the few examples in the game where magic can fuse with others to create something new. If players use a Red Magic attack on a Limpet, such as Burstfire, the Limpet will become infused and explode after a short time. With the Living Explosion Talent, under the Red Magic skill tree, these explosions will heal Jak for 5% of his health. The more Limpets and explosions occur, the more Jak will heal. This elemental combo system isreminiscent ofScars Above, which is another sci-fi shooter from 2023.
6Mana Well
Players can fire spells from the aforementioned Sigils inImmortals of Aveum. Besides having to reload spells like one would a gun in a shooter, there is no limit to how many times players can fire them. There are stronger spells that require thestandard RPG elementof Mana, though, called Furies.

Mana Well is a Green Magic Talent that can restore one meter of the Fury bar passively. There are ways to speed up the regeneration process and ways to heal more bars as well if players further explore this skill tree. Mana Well is a good start, though.
5Greater Blink
There are two ways players can avoid damage in the game. Three if one wants to count running away from an encounter, but that’s kind of a natural instinct in most shooters. First, players have an ability called Blink which they can use to dash away from an attack. It’s a lot like theBlink skill inDishonored, except that players can’t teleport themselves at as great a distance inImmortals of Aveum. Players begin with one Blink deposit for Jak, but Greater Blink, another Green Magic Talent, will unlock an additional Blink slot so that players can dash twice as much.
4Hardened Shield
The other way to avoid damage in the game, and perhaps the best way, is by putting a Shield spell. Unlike mostshields in games and other media, this spell will dissipate after receiving too much damage. Like Jak as a whole, Shield has a life bar, and Hardened Shield is a Blue Magic Talent that will increase its health by 20%. There are additional Talents to further increase the defensive capabilities of Shield, and they should be prioritized by players. With Shield and Blink maximized, it will be harder for players to die in the game.
3Safeguard
Health and Mana can be increased by defeating bosses, finding treasures in secret trials calledShroudfanes inImmortals of Aveum, or buying upgrades from the Forge. These are important stats to keep track of in the game, but so is Armor. That is the defensive stat for Jak in the game.

Equipping new Sigils or other pieces of gear can help increase armor. Safeguard is a Red Magic Talent that can increase the Armor stat permanently by 15. Like most of the Talents on the board, there are more slots open to increase Armor further.
2Siphon Shield
Siphon Shield is a great Talent to get along with Hardened Shield to make the best use of Shield inImmortals of Aveum. Every time an enemy attack hits the spell, it will heal Jak for 25% of the damage Shield receives. It may not seem like much, but every bit helps. On the higher difficulties, players have to be careful with their Healing Crystals as they are limited. So, the more ways players can heal in nonconventional ways, like through the Green Magic Talent of Siphon Shield, the better.
1Red Acolyte
Red Acolyte is a Red Magic Talent that will increase all Red Magic power by 20%. There are more slots to unlock in this skill tree, and the other two magic skill trees have Acolyte upgrades as well. Sigils will increase damage for spells like Burstfire, as a Red Magic example. That’s good when finding a new Sigil to equip, but gaining these Acolyte upgrades will show players a greater difference in power. Sometimes a single upgrade can be like the difference between night and day in battle.
