Mana Crystallization

Description

A skill that stores the powers of magic such as Fireball, Thunder, or Ice Spear, in a crystal using the steam oven. This type of crystal can be used even by those who do not have the related skill, as long as they are equipped with a Cylinder. With higher rank, a better quality crystal can be produced and a shorter amount of time is spent casting when using the Mana Crystal. Although you can use your own magic to perform Mana Crystallization, it's not recommended because of the difficulty in handling both Alchemy and your own magic simultaneously. (Using someone else's magic will produce superior results.)

Details

• This skill is used to create Crystals of the Magic Spells Fireball, Ice Spear, and Thunder using a Steam Oven.
  • You must already have the spell in order to make these crystals yourself. You also need one of Fire Crystal, Water Crystal, and Wind Crystal, respectively, to create the aforementioned crystals.
    • For players who do not have these spells, or have them at low ranks, it is possible to entrust charges to a party member. To entrust Crystallization, one player charges the spell and a second player uses the Mana Crystallization skill.
• Mana Crystallization success rate receives a bonus from the daily effect of Samhain (Saturday).
• All five charges are needed to create crystals.
• The quality of any of the magic crystals regardless of where you have obtained it from is solely based on the player's Mana Crystallization rank.
• Spellwalk allows movement with Mana Crystallization crystals, but only if toggled on before casting.
• The damage of magic crystals is based on the Mana Crystallization Rank.
  • The base damage of a crystal is equal to the actual spell damage. (e.g. Rank 1 Mana Crystallization for a Fireball Crystal has a base damage of 1600-2400). The base damage is then multiplied by the Damage Multiplier, according to the user's Mana Crystallization rank.
    • For example, a player with Rank 1 Crystallization using a Fireball Crystal will deal 0.8 * 1600-2400 = 1280-1920 damage.
  • Spells cast with these crystals do not gain bonus damage from Criticals. However, Critical Hit Training is still received.
  • Spells cast with these crystals do not have elemental properties, and will not be affected by elemental cylinders or the target's element.
    • The use of a Tower Cylinder however, will influence the damage.
    • The use of the respective Magic Shield will also reduce the damage of the respective crystal type.
  • Enchants that increase damage will also apply to magic crystals. (* 1.00?)
  • The damage of Mana Crystallization Crystals is not affected by Balance of any kind. On average, their balance is considered to be 50%.
  • Mana Crystallization crystals are unaffected by Magic Attack, and are significantly weaker than their magical spell counterparts.
• Unlike normal Ice Spear, Mana Crystallization Ice Spear's damage does not decay when it chains. Attacked enemies also do not receive any damage reduction.
• Loading a Magic Crystal costs virtually no Mana or Stamina.
• You cannot load another Magic Crystal during the animation of a Thunder Crystal or Ice Spear Crystal, though you can load other skills such as Water Cannon and Windmill.
  • This does not apply to Fireball Crystals, however.
• Magic Crystals counts towards a Combo Card chain for the respective spell.

Mana Crystallization does not add to Skill Combat Power.
*Load Time refers to using crystals, not creation, and T is the time to load one charge of the spells at the same rank as Mana Crystallization;

• T is 4 to 2 seconds for Fireball.
• T is 2 to 1.6 seconds for Ice Spear.
• T is 4 to 2 seconds for Thunder.

Obtaining the Skill

• Learned from Dorren during the Generation 9 quest, "Fallon's Request."

Training Method

Tips

• Novice Rank Ice Spear is the cheapest skill to train Mana Crystallization due to its low Mana cost.
• Using your homestead's steam oven or that of a friend or guild member and then standing next to a mana tunnel is an effective training strategy.
  • Using Fantastic Chorus and Enduring Melody could provide the user with enough mana recovery without the need of a mana tunnel.
  • Inspiration and Snap Cast could also be used to save a lot of time if at high enough rank.
