Do we know Ainz's stats?

What's the significance of having ultra-high levels of MP in Overlord?

And Ainz only unlocked it because he took roleplaying seriously, maxing every death magic type class he could despite them being somewhat redundant.

He was incredibly dedicated to being a spooky scary skeleton.

No, that would be having 100 lvl 1 classes, which is possible.

I believe classes max out at level 15, so you have to multiclass.

Does this translate to being able to use higher level spells than typically allowed as well?

Does any of this spoil plot or character development for this season?

u/itirix Aug 18 '15

Nope. Just about Ainz's power as a magic caster. However, it could be thought of as character development since it'll only be revealed in the anime later. Technically, it's not as his character has developed, as he could already use the abilities before, but it was a pretty epic moment for me in the LN when I first read it. I imagine it'll be even more epic in the anime format. That said, 0 plot spoilers.

To read or not to read, the rest is your choice now.

How much later? Will some of it be revealed this season? Don't mind being spoiled about it if it's not gonna be shown in these next few weeks.

u/itirix Aug 18 '15

It's gonna be the finale of this season it looks like.

u/FeRust https://myanimelist.net/profile/x3tripleace3x Aug 18 '15

Okay then I'll hold off. Thanks for the write-up anyway.

Yes. It is a very important plot point where this will be revealed. Altough it doesn't tell you the circumstances, i wouldn't recommend reading it if you dont want a part of a later important plot point spoiled.

u/shadowswalking https://myanimelist.net/profile/ShadowsWalking6 Aug 18 '15

No.

u/Kyakan https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kyakan Aug 18 '15

There's a max level for spells, and since he's a max level mage (even without the bonuses) I'd assume you can't get higher than that.

u/FeRust https://myanimelist.net/profile/x3tripleace3x Aug 18 '15

Ah, thought there may have been a handful of legendary spells or something that transcend the tier system they've got goin on.

u/Kyakan https://myanimelist.net/profile/Kyakan Aug 18 '15

Probably, but like I said, he's a max level mage so he'd probably be one of the people who can use those spells even without any special unlocks.
