How magic works

Every element in VoidKitty has its own damage, its own cost, its own effects — and a signature nova. This page is the complete reference: the rules first, then every bolt and every nova. Numbers get tuned as the meta evolves— this page always reflects what's live.

The four rules

Elements work on players. Burns tick, ice slows, earth shoves, lightning chains — in PVP, in tuned-down versions. Burns are tracked by the server: a burn kill is YOUR kill, loot and duels included.

Heals only happen when you land the hit. Casting at the sky or while fleeing heals nothing. Healing elements hit noticeably softer — sustain is a trade, not a freebie.

Each element has its own damage. From 0.7× (the big healer) to 1.15× (the spell that costs you blood). Utility costs damage; pure damage is its own reward.

Mana. The violet bar above your health: pool of 100, refills 4/second, every spell has a cost. A bolt every ~3 seconds is sustainable forever; a burst of ~8 empties the tank. The sword costs nothing — steel never runs dry. Duels start at full mana and full HP.

The fine print that keeps it fair:stepping into the garden or coliseum cleanses burns · entering a duel cleanses everything, so an outsider's burn can never decide a wager · a nova into a crowd heals once, not once per victim (Radiance is the deliberate exception) · a backfire still costs mana · reflected damage can't be re-reflected, and burn ticks are never reflected.

The bolts

Baseline: a bolt is 15 damage / 12 mana; the damage column scales it. Effects listed are the PVP versions (PVE versions run stronger). Novas have their own table below.

Starters

Element	Damage	Mana	In PVP	Role
Fire	1.0×	12	burn 1.5/s · 2s	Pressure — chip that keeps ticking

Reading the balance

One clean void bolt lands 16.5. Eclipse lands 17.25 but bleeds you 3. Fire lands 15 with 3 more ticking (cleansable at the garden). Hellfire tops sustained output at ~19.5 spread over three seconds. Sanctuary hits for 10.5 and drinks 5 back on every landed hit. Elements carrying two effects pay ~15% damage for the privilege; one effect costs ~5–10%.

The novas — every element's signature move

Bolts are your poke; the nova is your signature move. Together they form a counterplay web: wards counter chip damage, knockbacks counter wards, reflect counters burst, cleanse counters burns. Damage is per victim caught; mana and cooldown are per cast.

Nova	Element	Dmg	Mana	CD	What it does
Flame Ring	Fire	10	30	6s	burn 1.5/s · 2s The benchmark — every nova is understood relative to this one.
Implosion	Void	14	33	7s	Nothing but the number — the hardest plain nova in the game.
Storm Burst	Lightning	9.5	30	6s	Radius 8 instead of 6 — the storm reaches further than you think.
Frost Ring	Ice	9	32	8s	frost patch 4u · 2.5s 30% slow while standing in it.
Shockwave	Earth	6	28	6s	knockback 4u The peel button — cheap, weak, makes room.
Radiance	Light	7.5	30	6s	heal 4 per enemy struck, cap 12 Courage pays.
Solar Flare	Solar	8	33	7s	burn 1/s · 2sheal 5 on hit + glare-wash: victims' screens flood warm for 1.2s (soft, no strobe).
Verdict	Judgment	8 → 16	33	7s	heal 3 on hit The execute: targets below 30% HP take double.
Sanctum	Sanctuary	—	35	12s	Consecrates the ground — dome 3u · 4s: −50% damage taken + heal 2/s while you hold it. Getting knocked or pulled off ends it.
Inferno	Hellfire	9	35	9s	burning floor 4u · 3s, 3/s Area denial — the anti-Sanctum.
Eruption	Magma	16	34	8s	Detonates 1s after a visible telegraph — dodgeable, devastating.
Scalding Cloud	Steam	6	34	9s	mist 4u · 3s: 25% slow2/s inside The attrition swamp.
Overcharge	Plasma	—	20	9s	Your next bolt within 3s is free and hits 1.5× — the combo spell.
Totality	Eclipse	18	35	8s	costs 5 HP The biggest number in the game, paid in blood.
Static Lock	Staticfrost	8.5	33	7s	40% slow · 1.5s The strongest area slow — nobody walks away.
Flash Freeze	Glacier	8.5	34	9s	80% slow · 0.8s Near-root; PVE full freeze 1.5s. The setup tool.
Cyclone	Tempest	8.5	33	7s	scatter 3u, random directions Server rolls the dice — pure chaos.
Repulse	Magnetite	—	35	12s	Polarity flip — knock 2.5u + a 1.75s parry window: direct hits fly back at their caster.
Singularity	Gravity	7	35	9s	drag all within 7u toward center Repulse's evil twin — collapse the fight.
Dread Pulse	Abyss	8.5	33	7s	35% slow · 1.2s + creeping dark vignette 1.5s — fear that respects your controls.
Cleansing Veil	Aurora	—	33	10s	Purge your own burns and slows + heal 8. The dot-counter.
