BACKFIRE


A backfire will occur when you badly fail to cast a spell, the effects become nastier as the spell level increases.

There is always a chance that a spell will backfire; improving one's knowledge of the spell can greatly reduce the probability that this happens. On the other hand, trying to cast a spell when you barely have sufficient mana for the incantation is very likely to result in a backfire, regardless of your skill.

Depending on the severity of the backfire, the effects can result in a loss of mana points, a loss of mana points and move points or a loss of mana points, move points and hit points.

Backfiring a low level spell will not cause great harm, backfiring a level 15 spell is another story…

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
