Boundless Creation: A Demonologist Introduction

A low-mystery Demonologist, and Idle Wizard, guide for 1.31

## Introduction

For years, Native Freshfood: A Druid Introduction was the go-to class and guide for new beginners to the game. It was low entry-barrier, and produced solid progress for the first solid e50 Mysteries of gameplay progression. However, Druid had issues, mainly in the form of spell shard costs making spells take too long to come online.

Idle Wizard patch 1.31 included several buffs to the , significantly improving its base performance and taking it well beyond Druid's day-zero power. As such, Native Freshfood have been bought out by Boundless Creation and so this is a Demonologist guide now.

The Demonologist relies on Evocation and Incantation Spells, switching between pets and rapidly gaining pet levels, and the extremely high profit bonus of the functionally class-unique . The Demonologist can be unlocked and used during your first life, before even earning enough Mana to unlock Mysteries, Exiling, or most other game features.

## Day Zero

Summoning demons for fun and profit

Idle Wizard is a game about Mana. Lots of Mana. Endless supplies of Mana. Mana is your main currency for doing things, and thus Mana production is often termed 'Profit'. And a journey of a thousand mana starts with a single click. (...and then 14 more clicks to buy your first Mana Gem.)

Your first goal in life should be to reach Wizard Level 3. Do this by clicking the orb and buying Mana Sources (Gems, Grimoires, etc). (Or, if you get lucky and snag a Void Entity, that will also give Wizard XP.) Once you've hit Level 3, you unlock your first pet, the . Pixie will automatically click the orb for you, generating more experience and mana.

Your second goal in life is to reach 5000 Mana and buy the Upgrade which unlocks your first Spell Scroll. Spells are the big place Mana comes from, as they can take the Mana generation of your sources or clicks and multiply them many, many times over. Spells must be charged before casting, and spells are charged by collecting Spell Shards (either from clicking the orb, autoclicks, or slowly and silently over time). Once charged, spells must be cast manually by clicking the spell scroll or pressing the number key 1. Casting spells also generates experience, further increasing your Wizard Level. The first interesting spell is , which, when cast, gives you a chunk of mana. Pretty straightforward, and good for getting more sources and upgrades.

You will now enter the slowest part of this guide. In order to unlock Demonologist, you need a level 20 pet, and 25 Circles of Power. The level 20 pet, you will get by letting Pixie click the orb, and slowly buying Upgrades that give bonus Pet Experience. The 25 Circles of Power, you will get by slowly gaining Mana by casting Magic Missile, and buying sources as you can. Along the way, prioritize the upgrades that grant a second spell scroll (and use it to cast  to generate Shards faster and thus cast more Magic Missiles), and Passive Sorcering, which allows you to set Spell Focus to cast automatically ("Autocast").

It will likely take a little over an hour to reach the target pet level and source count. (Thankfully you will only need to do the slow unlocking requirements once.)
