Seething Mana

Description

Uses the combined effect of Mana and Dorcha to negate the effects of an enemy's Magic Defense and Magic Protection. Dorcha is released at the exact moment Mana is activated, minimizing the amount of time the Mana is surrounded by Dorcha and preventing fusion. When the Dorcha is released, a unique pattern is drawn, which the Mana passes through. As proficiency increases, the caster will be able to produce greater effects with less Dorcha.

Details

• Requires a Wand or Staff to use.
• The user laces their magical attacks with Dorcha, granting additional Piercing Levels to Magic and Dark Diviner skills in exchange for consuming additional Dorcha per cast.
• This is a toggleable skill that invokes the Seething Mana status while active, granting additional piercing to compatible skills as long as the user can maintain the upkeep of Dorcha.
  • The skill will not automatically toggle off if the user runs out of Dorcha, however the effects will not apply until the user regains enough Dorcha to do so.
• The skill's rank will determine the maximum amount of piercing provided, however the user must also meet certain Magic Attack thresholds for each piercing level.
  • 1 additional piercing level requires 1000 Magic Attack.
  • 2 additional piercing levels require 1200 Magic Attack.
  • 3 additional piercing levels require 1400 Magic Attack.
• The amount of Dorcha consumed depends on the type of magic being cast, with Bolt spells starting with the lowest cost and Advanced Magic/Dark Diviner skills starting with the highest cost.
  • Despite not being listed, Blaze is also compatible with this skill and will receive the piercing effect.
• As Dark Diviners generate 0.5 Dorcha when casting Magic talent skills, it can heavily reduce (but not eliminate) the Dorcha costs of this skill if mostly fighting with Magic talent skills.
• This skill gains the ability to ignore a portion of enemy Magic Defense on top of the piercing effects when used by a Link 9 Dark Diviner.
  • Wands ignore 400 Magic Defense.
  • Staves ignore 600 Magic Defense.
• This skill gains one additional piercing level (with no Magic Attack requirement) when used by a Link 10 Dark Diviner.
