Weather

Weather rolls per biome — each region brews its own sky, independent of day and moon phase. Cross a biome border and the weather can change with you; snowfields favour Auroras, deserts run hot, and no biome repeats the same weather back-to-back. Weather affects spell damage via per-element modifiers, and the current weather is shown on the bar beneath the map (icon, name, and tooltip with active effects).

The Pool

Each window lasts between 1 and 5 in-game hours — roughly 2½ to 12½ real minutes. When a window ends, a new weather is rolled at random from a weighted pool, with the current weather excluded so identical windows never repeat back-to-back.

How Modifiers Stack

Weather modifiers stack additively with the day-of-week element bonus and any tile-based magick bonus. A Lightning spell cast on a Lightning day during a Storm gets +15 % (day) + +10 % (weather) on top of any tile boost — the kind of window that turns a routine fight into a one-cast wipe.

Aurora and Eclipse are short windows by design — both last just 1–2 game hours. If your build leans on Light or Dark spells, learn to recognise them at a glance and grind hard while the window is open.
