Research Ingredients

Weather Witching is a research based magic, and abilities are unlocked through combining specific ingredients using recipes. The skill can be expensive due to the required ingredients used in spell research:

Every five levels, a research recipe can be learned which allows for researching a certain number of abilities per recipe. When a research recipe is completed, one of the abilities tied to that ability will be learned randomly.

Tempest Magic & Tempest Energy

Tempest Energy is a Weather Witching mechanic which is primarily used to enable the Tempest Flight sidebar abilities. Once a Weather Witch learns Tempest Flight, they will begin to accumulate Tempest Energy.

Tempest Energy is expended when Tempest Flight is used.
Tempest Energy will cap at 2xMob Level, so killing level 50 mobs will only raise your Tempest Energy to 100 max.
Tempest Energy is regained when defeating enemies using Weather Witching.
The initial maximum Tempest Energy is 100. Raising the level of Weather Witching increases the maximum total Tempest Energy which can be accumulated.
