Weapons That Use Elemental magic
Leveling & Death Penalty
Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the +131% damage and knockback,-33% eitr usage above is the full value you reach at level 100. Elemental magic earns experience at 1 per staff of embers and 0.2 per staff of frost attack hitting a creature, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.
Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Elemental magic included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill "Elemental magic" 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill "Elemental magic" wipes the skill back to 0.
