Mana Shield

2016-01-02T05:34:34Z

Dosh: very minor, just put links in from last edit

Mana Shield is a skill only available to Mages, in the Arcane skill tree. By using [https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Mana mana], a Mage protects itself through Mana Shield. When active, there is a blue sphere around the user. When damage is inflicted on Mana Shield, the user of Mana Shield loses mana, depending on how much damage was received; Mana Shield blocks almost all the damage for the user. If used too much in battle, it'll leave the Mage with no mana. With no mana, the user cannot defend itself. Mana Shield deactivates itself when: the user has no more mana, or when 200% of the user's maximum mana was used to block damage.

The purpose of Mana Shield is to block a significant amount of damage with mana; this way allows Mages to take hits easier by utilizing their source of power. [https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Arcane_Focus Arcane Focus] (Lv.1) increases Mana Shield's duration and efficiency greatly.

Dosh: I put what class unlocks it, and where. This is just to create a page for the skill. I'll add some things later.

Arcane Focus is a skill unlocked by Mage, in the Arcane skill tree.

Having practised the arts of dark magic for ages, mages are masters of the elements. They summon fire out of thin air, scorching enemies in their path, freeze them with ice spells, and scatter them with the element of wind. A skilled mage has many tricks up their sleeve, making them cunning and deadly opponents.

Like priests, mages draw their power from mana, a pool of magic energy that regenerates over time, which allows you to protect yourself from damage, while using strong elemental spells against on your foes.

== Elements ==

Mages are able to use different elements, which are: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth; with the ability to use four different elements, they are able to take advantage of their targets' elemental characteristic, but are susceptible to elemental disadvantages (in other words, use Water against Fire, but using Water against Water is bad). From the Elemental Property Table, you can see what effects an element has on another element (Attacking Element v.s. Defending Element). Refer to the [https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Elemental_Property_Table Elemental Property Table] if needed.

'''Example:'''
Fruit Bug is Earth 1. A Mage attacks the Fruit Bug with Fire Bolt. In this situation, the Fruit Bug is receiving the fiery attack, which makes the Fruit Bug's element (Earth 1) the Defending Element. The Fire Bolt attacks, making it the Attacking Element. When refer

== General Gameplay ==

A Mage gets Mana Shield (Lv. 2) because it is their defense, and Arcane Focus (Lv. 1) to boost the Mana Shield's efficiency. Also, a Mage gets Harvest Mana to gain 60% of their maximum mana, which is useful if low on mana. Disrupt Magic does what it says, disrupts a spell that is being casted; this skill is used to stop spells from the same school (elemental set) from casting for a short a period of time. This is used to stop devastating spells casted by bosses (not needed at low levels). Skip is used to save walk time and trick your target (you can Skip to their back); that's where the cunning part of Mage is. [https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Invisibility Invisibility] is useful for traveling in treacherous places and go undetected in boss battles (which resets the boss). Teleport Bind Earth

Each elemental set (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth) has their own play style, but all of them are given a way to recover mana in battle; however, some elemental sets are able to gain mana easier or provide additional bonuses, such as higher DPS.

It is not recommended for a Mage to spread their skill points across different elemental sets; for instance, three points in the Fire set and four points in the Water set. Doing this will decrease the amount of damage a Mage can do because a Mage usually uses only one elemental set in battle. Because of this situation, a Mage usually has one elemental set, either Fire, Water, Wind, or Earth; therefore, they will need to reset their skills when their current elemental set isn't doing well. There is a way to stop yourself from going back to town and resetting your skill points, which is annoying and time consuming. In Midnight Mountain, you will be able to find Rhizel, who find allow you to remember up to four skill sets (you can only switch skill sets outside of combat).

Mana Shield

Dosh: Who can cast Mana shield. That's what I put. I'll edit later

Mana Shield is a skill only available to Mages.

Skip

2016-01-01T07:32:11Z

Dosh: This is about Skip. Just tells it uses and basics.

Skip is a magic based skill that makes a character teleport forward a certain distance. It is available to Mages, in the Arcane skill tree. The cast time for this ability is instant, which protects the user from being disrupted. When used it leaves a blue, transparent image of the user at the location of its use.

It is useful for saving walk time, and it is useful for faking your movement towards monsters and players.

Invisibility

2016-01-01T07:25:17Z

Dosh:

Invisibility is a magic based spell that makes a character completely invisible to others. It is available to Mages, in the Arcane skill tree. Typically, the duration of invisibility is rather short, through it can be extended with certain items, up to 24 seconds of invisibility.

Note that you can still be harmed while invisible. Receiving any damage (for example, from area spells) while invisible will break the effect. In addition, [[extrasensory]] monsters can sense you even when you are invisible.

Extrasensory

2016-01-01T07:10:36Z

Dosh:

"Extrasensory" monsters are monsters that do not rely on sight to detect other characters. They might be able to smell, or even sense you through some other means, allowing them to target and attack you even when you are hidden or stealthed. Therefore, [https://www.pawdgame.com/wiki/Invisibility Invisibility] and other hiding skills are useless against these monsters.

You can detect extrasensory monsters through [[Analyse (Spell)|analyse]] (which does not break invisibility or stealth). Monsters that can see you have an "Extrasensory" flag in the analysis result.

Mages are able to use different elements, which are: Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth; with the ability to use four different elements, they are able to take advantage of their targets' elemental characteristic, but are susceptible to elemental disadvantages. From the Elemental Property Table, you can see what effects an element has on another element (Attacking Element v.s. Defending Element).

For example, Vilefang is Earth 1 (Defending Element); therefore, Fire (Attacking Element) will be effective on it by 25%. This ability to take advantage of a target's elemental characteristic are what make Mages great at dealing damage; Mages are the best people to play the role of being the DPS (Damage Per Second).

A disadvantageous situation that a Mage will come across is using an element that the target is resisted to. For example, Vilefang is Earth 1 (Defending Element); therefore, if you use an attack that has the characteristic of Wind, Vilefang will resist 12.5% of your attack (in other words, you only deal 87.5% of your usual damage). Because of this, a Mage has to reset their skills to bend the situation in their favor. When going from area to area, and bosses to bosses, a Mage has to change their skills to take advantage of the situation.

There is a small way around to reseting skills over and over again, which is to buy skillsets (you can buy up to 3 additional skill sets) from Rhizel in Argan. Although this does not provide the ability to change element in the middle of a battle, a Mage doesn't have to go back to town and spend 1 gold to reset their skills, then come back anymore.
