Overview
Elemental Magic is a general category which includes spells that fall into one of several main subcategories:
- Elemental "Nukes": Spells that cause immediate elemental damage to one or more targets.
-
Stone Spells
-
Water Spells
-
Aero Spells
-
Fire Spells
-
Blizzard Spells
-
Thunder Spells
-
Darkness Spells: Comet and Impact
- Ancient Magic Spells
-
- Elemental Debuffs: Spells which reduce a single enemy attribute and cause minimal DoT.
- Helix Spells: Spells which cause initial damage as well as high DoT.
- Meteor is a unique and powerful group cast spell which is not associated with any of the eight elements but is classified as elemental magic.
Elemental Magic skill determines the accuracy and spell interruption rate of Elemental Magic spells. It does not affect the magical damage (potency) of any of these spells, aside from playing a minor role in determining the damage potential of Meteor.
The damage of elemental nukes and helix spells is calculated from a formula which is based on the caster's and target's statistics. The main caster statistics which affect this damage potential are INT, Magic Attack Bonus, and elemental damage affinity and potency bonuses.
