Did you try respec? In case that's even possible with companions.

If you've already been to deck of many things Missile Gloves are even better than Necklace of fireball, no worries about Aoe hitting vela and more dmg per cast, pretty sure both can be stolen for free (other one in crookspur) if your mechanics is high enough and you have slippers (only item you have to buy from deck) and once you have 2 you can "recharge" them for free in stash. ... Amra does trigger on barrels (or ranger pet) no need for fire blight) ... Death's runes can't be extended, it's a temporary aura ON the corpses, similar to cipher effects on foe. ... As Kaylon stated you only need immunity from afflictions for least unstable coil, then it won't be overwritten unless you use it again (can easily be prevented by unequipping saving and reloading, which will change the name of the buff but will weaken some effects of the inspirations like robust) ... Darkest before dawn is not risky at all unless you have 3 injuries, it will just knock you out if you overdo self dmg (but you can do it real controlled with missile gloves), just keep in mind its not wise to get dmg reduction before you have your deltros extended) ... At least on several different chars I tested you can also get shadow form by double click equipping slippers from inventory, weirdly enough Kaylon said it doesn't work for him, so idk if there is a hidden requirement which I happened to have on seevral chars I tested it with, otherwise barrels will do the trick. ... For reforge the flesh you will get permanent recovery even if you got rid of paralyze, so you also have to weapon switch save reload and weapon switch again to get rid of that. Keep in mind unless you are a black jack or barbarian (sof extended bloodlust) you won't ever be able to weapon switch in combat only switch save reload switch will make recovery possible, also keep in mind getting arcane dampened while having reforge means you might as well be dead even tho the enemies will most likely not be able to kill you, but you won't be able to do anything and ofc can't save and reload unless you wanna do the old cheese obsidians tcs system and just load another game.

You can cast it on yourself but it has no effect. I just mentioned it for the sake of listing all sources of confusion, tbf you can also use this for stealing from a non hostile npc, but the will turn hostile so it's kinda pointless.

Shame there is no SOF counterpart for prolonging negative effects.

Besides Sap there is also a solo way of confusing yourself while not being a berserker: Rakhan Field Boots + Street Sweeper with Confuse upgrade.

Just checked and yes they are.

Hm weird I've done it on several separate saves now. Put slippers in your invent and double click them, maybe you tried from stash? Or put another bootpair on and then slippers in invent, rapidly doubleclick, also works as long as slippers are last equipped ones ofc.

I think manually targeting with a 10 dmg spell might be a bit much for my hands on high hp enemy.

Is there a way to make the AI switch targets? then it might even be bossiple haha.

This is how the devs intended the game:

The first post was weirdly formatted so I had to make a second post, but i'm not actually getting dr.

Sadly I'm not actually taking reduced dmg in combat, I think my race changed when I fought some fappyrs and a deathguard.

So my game has been buggy since I cheesed around with stolen spells today I noticed this:

The fire one is almost as convenient, because you have infinite injuries in the last room of sandswept. I mean so you don't get the healing as often, but the injury still has no downside for you, since fire heals you?

It's a real fun synergy because of Chillfog, blind = flanked lol. Also draining wall + unbending is just awesome. I personally like the -fire dr injury + the cloak healing you for fire damage.

Hm I doubt you can respec it out, but you can try ofc. RemoveAbility does not seem to work, but I only tried it for non wizard spells on my wizard.

Hm, still cheesing with the grimoire boi, I killed Nemnok (who doesn't have too many interesting spells to steal) and trying out chromoprismatics entropy shield enchant, not only does it provide 17% dr at max metaphysics, you can unequip it (after sofing) save and reload and name will change from entropy shield to chromoprismatic. It won't scale with metaphysics anymore and go down to 5%, however now you can reequip chromoprismatic and get a stacking 17% entropy shield on top. edit: nvm it's trash, since it resets when you get hit by an enemy in combat, so even if SOF gave u infinite duration it will be reset to 16 secs or smth.

Idk if there are npc priests with shadowing, but since you can steal departure from Arkemyr there is no real point, since it's superior anyway. (Only rogues shadowing is interesting since it doesn't break on rogue dots)

It is official you can steal crushing doom from Concelhaut himself. Another cheesy thing I found, that with Berath's challenge and brilliant departure + you can actually steal spells while invis, casting draining wall or stolen Sot does not break departure.

So the UI eventually bugs but I found an easy way to prevent it. If you know beforehand what spells you wanna keep, just recast imprint without switching on getting an undesired spell. I made a vid of Arkemyr losing all his spells and my bloated UI lol:

Ye as Kaylon said soloing isn't as much about your stats but knowing the capabilities of the classes and if necessary leveling without combat. You can level all the way to level 19 without a single fight (except the tutorial fight ofc) if you really want to. SC Blood Mage is the strongest class in the game if you are willing to abuse all cheese, for a beginner I would rather suggest to play Tactician/bloodmage or one of the combos kaylon suggested.

Btw, while cheesing around with grimoire build I accidentally found out that doubleclick equipping slippers of the assassin gives you shadow form... I somehow must have either always equipped it the traditional way or never realized this before. This makes for much less hassle in having to find a barrel or enemy to kill.

Tbf brand and gouging stack. I'd personally prefer to combine assassin with casters too, or ofc sc, but paladin is a very nice class.

You never know these days! Because no one is stopping them?
