==Hero Usage==
* Heroes only use this spell while in combat.

== Notes ==
* This skill overrides any ''existing'' modifiers, including: skills that boost elemental attributes (e.g. [[Elemental Lord]]), [[rune]]s, [[Weakness]] and [[consumable]]s (e.g. [[Candy Corn]]).
** Bonuses will take effect if they are applied ''after'' Master of Magic (e.g. remove/reapply headgear before casting).
***Removing and reapplying runes has no effect.
** Renewing Master of Magic whilst under the attribute boosting modifiers will retain the higher attribute ranks and not reset them to the rank predicted by Master of Magic.
** Renewing Master of Magic while boosted by [[Heroic Refrain]] will cause the boost to not be renewed even if the echo is renewed. Recast Heroic Refrain immediately after renewing Master of Magic.
* [[Journey to the North]] takes precedence, setting only one attribute to 12 (and any others to 9). {{verify|any/all of this might have changed}}
* The most effective uses of this skill are:
** To boost the effectiveness of low-[[level]] [[character]]s, since it can allow them to reach and maintain an elemental attribute rank of 9 at only rank 3 in Energy Storage.
** To maximize the strength of [[Prismatic Insignia]] (raising an elementalist's armor by 20).
** To free attribute points for [[build]]s that draw on several elementalist attributes or to meet the requirement of certain [[weapons]] (notably [[shield]]s).
* The amount of energy regained is rounded down: 5 energy spells return 1 energy, 15 energy spells return 4 and 25 energy spells return 7.
* The amount of energy regained considers only the base cost of the spells, without any [[Energy#Cost modifiers|modifiers]], such as [[Glyph of Lesser Energy]] or [[Quickening Zephyr]].
* Elemental spells refers to spells associated with the four elemental attributes, rather than spells that deal elemental damage.
{{bug| While under the effects of Master of Magic, being [[weakness|weakened]] with attribute points in elemental ranks will cause elemental ranks to lower by 1. Elemental attributes without attribute points in will not lower by 1. }}

== Trivia ==
* The staff being held by the figure in the [[skill icon]] appears to be an [[Accursed Staff]].
* [[w:Master of Magic|Master of Magic]] was a best-selling strategy game published by MicroProse on 3.5" floppy disks in 1994.
