Subject: Skills & Spells {W.I.P.} Sat Aug 18, 2012 3:11 pm
Skills and spells are special powers players learn when reaching certain levels. Each class has their own list of powers that are as followed.
More Spells and Skills will be gradually added, please be patient!
How to use Skills and Spells: Skills and Spells work off a one post prep and release system. The user will be left immobile during prep. Skills and Spells have their own prep methods that are listed below:
Weapon Skills - Player glows yellow during prep. After the prep, the user dashes towards the target unaffected by damage. If they make contact, the skill activates with the target rendered immobile. If a weapon skill misses the initial starter hit, then they will once again become vulnerable to damage as they preform the attack motions on the air, leaving themselves open.
Mage Spells - Player becomes immobile for the duration of the spell. For the first post they glow yellow as either a blue or red ring appears beneath their own feet and moves towards the target. If the red ring successfully gets under the target, they are rendered immobile and the spell activates. If a blue ring is produced, the player is not rendered immobile but the effect instantly occurs, this most of the time being a buff spell or a heal spell. If a mage misses their target, the circle fades on the 2nd post, the SP is still used, hit or not.
How "Prep" works: Skills - Player A: *Slashes at player B knocking them back, they glows yellow for prep* Player B:*Recovers and dashes at player A* Player A:*Dashes at player B with skill starting the free motions.*
Spells - Player A:*Dashes at player B* Player B:*Glows yellow as a ring forms under their feet and travels towards player A* Player A:*Runs in to the circle and becomes immobilized, spell takes place.*
Skill Dash/Spell Ring: Skill dashes and Spell rings are preformed after the initial prep, they are the in between motion before the skill/spell. These move at half the speed of the player. During a Skill Dash, or when using a Spell Ring, they can not be free manipulated, they follow after the target only, you can not make them move in tactical patterns to trap someone.
Spell and Skill Damage: Damage done from Skills and Spells vary depending upon the characters stats. There is a simple way you calculate how much damage is done: 1.) Take your corresponding stat attack or magic power, split it in half to get a total, then add it to your original stat for damage. Example: 100 Attack Power, 100/2 = 50, 100+50= Skill strength of 150. 2.) Calculating damage done from skills and spells still depends upon the stats of the target, so you must choose wisely if they are worth using.
Skill and Spell Speed: Skills and Spells during prep cut your speed in half, meaning that if your normal speed is 100, the spell ring and your skill dash will only have a speed of 50.
Rengeki: If twenty consecutive hits are made upon a player, a blue ring will form around them. They will then receive 2X damage from skills.
How to get Skills/Spells: Each class starts with their basic skill. Upon leveling up, they will receive another at the specified level. Mages, upon creation, get to select one of the basic spells. Additional spells can be learned through level ups, or through scrolls. (Every 10 levels they can learn a spell) The exception to this is the Macabre Dancer, who starts with one spell, but must learn all the rest through scrolls.
Adept Rogues get their next basic skill upon completing their job extension.
