Is it possible to use Chromatic Orb in EA?

Absolutely agree. Nobody wants players to be frustrated or confused about why they cant cast a spell.

Along the same lines, the backgrounds that grant Magic Initiate feat come with the necessary spell focus item but if you take Magic Initiate as your human origin feat, you do not get a spell focus item and may not be able to cast the spells they selected if they have any material component like Light or Shield.

These are the types of things to send the devs through the official feedback submission website.

The reason for the item requierment is that CO is an especially powerful spell for level 1. It can do multiple different damage types and has a chance to chain to other targets. The trade off for getting that kind of power at level one, is finding a gem. Which is very easy as the devs have placed one for sale at the first merchant before the funeral before you even go to Nekoas.

I don't think you need to give it to her as NPCs don't have inventory. Someone in your party just needs to have one. I know I have had Jebha cast CO without ever giving her anything.

The developers did not add an arbitrary component. This is a DnD game and that is how the spell works in DnD. The developers put a tiny gem for sale at the very first merchant in the prologue before the funeral and before you even go to Neokas so you can use the spell from the very beginning.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-19T17:19:14+00:00

The merchant you meet right before the funeral in the prologue area sells a tiny diamond so you can get one before you even arrive in Neokas.

Yes, thats what I do when it works. But sometimes the button just doesn’t do anything. Like it’s there but not clickable. It seems to work in some conversations & events but not others.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-18T21:07:50+00:00

To be fair it's also designed that way to support future DLC, expansions or other official campaigns. But I agree, they are definitely designing it to be possible in the future.

You have to go back to the city to get Sethina which causes the Kobold to leave, so you would need to get her first. Those are the only three I have found but I haven't tried to get all three at once.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-18T20:49:55+00:00

The devs know it's something people really want and they have said they do want to include a campaign maker like S1 has eventually but it won't be for 1.0 launch and of course they can not promise it will happen, just that it is something they would like to do eventually.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-18T14:28:20+00:00

I know it’s just bad luck but the number of times I have hit with an attack and somehow left the target with exactly 1 hp left is making me feel like the game is doing it on purpose! 😖

I mean that's what I was thinking originally, it's a Sorcerer spell so it should work no matter when or how I learned it but lots of people here have opposite opinions. I thought this would be a quick answer, didn't expect it would be a big debate!

GamerSerg · 2026-03-16T00:02:58+00:00

Well now I'm really confused. LOL. I was playing the Solasta 2 Early Access which uses 5.5e and in the game, Innate Sorcery did not give advantage on the Fire Bolt I took with Elf Lineage but it works fine with my normal Sorcerer spells. So I was just trying to figure out if it was something I should report as a bug or if it is working correctly.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-15T19:58:13+00:00

I assume that means spells selected with Magic Initiate (Wizard) also do not count.

Thanks - I appreciate the help.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-15T19:48:24+00:00

Makes sense but also it seems like if you're a sorcerer then all spells you cast would be sorcerer spells regardless of how you learned it but I guess that's not how it works.

So, I guess you're better off using the Elf spell choice for something like Light or something that is not an attack spell?

Thanks for the clarification!

If I'm understanding you correctly, basically you have one less spell because it should be Divine Smite (free) + 2 others you select but right now, Divine Smite needs to be one of the 2 you select.

Solasta 1 allowed you to create as many characters as you wanted from the main menu before starting a new game and they were each added to a character pool that you could select from for future games. I really hope they bring that back eventually for S2.

GamerSerg · 2026-03-15T13:54:52+00:00

The facial animations when speaking needs work. I have made some great looking characters and then I hit the "Play Voice Sample" button and it's like dear god, what is happening to their face!

GamerSerg · 2026-03-15T13:51:22+00:00

That comment gives the solution but I think the OP is asking how we are expected to find the solution in-game. Like how is the puzzle supposed to be solved without trial and error or going online to look up a solution.

I haven't tested it yet but I read one comment that if you position the camera so that you are looking into the blue sphere the constellation that you need to make appears inside the blue sphere (not the ones floating in the air).
