If you're looking to spice things up and wanting a different flavor in your builds, then well maybe '''{{#skill:2445}}''' is the build you're looking for! This build is more of a 'for fun' build and you can never expect it to keep up with the meta build now for Elemental Master. EMs are flexible with their choices of elements, they  use all of their elemental AoEs in a skill rotation, and even their own ultimate can be endowed. But if you want to bonk monsters to death with the power of knowledge then this section of the guide is for you! Spell Fist won't be getting gear progression stages though as I expect that by the time you invest on this fun build, you're already done with your main build as you should be.

I've tried Spell Fist too and built the gears needed to "make it work" but it's still haunted by the curse of being in melee range and lack of wide AoE making it hard to use while farming. Its main source of damage will be coming from outdated 1st Job Mage skills with the likes of '''{{#skill:19}}''', '''{{#skill:14}}''', and '''{{#skill:20}}''' and even though these skills will get supplemented by your '''{{#skill:279}}''' and '''{{#skill:482}}''' skills it still won't be enough as the elemental bolts don't scale with your base level and their MAtk% is comparably lower than your 4th Job or even your 3rd Job skills. There are little to none existing equipment that give Spell Fist modifier too besides the {{#icon:18793}}{{#linkitem:118793|Sorc Night Cap}}, which gets outshined by {{#icon:400662}}{{#linkitem:400662|Furious Crown (Elemental Master)}} that lets you autocast the 4th Job skill '''{{#skill:5373}}''' when paired with {{#icon:540091}}{{#linkitem:540091|Furious Grimoire}}. It's also discouraging to use strong garment cards like {{#icon:27362}}{{#linkitem:27362|(MVP) Polluted Spider Queen Card}} because of its side effect of you receiving more damage against all properties. With all that being said, I advise you to play this build for fun and if and only if you really know what you're going into. It'll always going to have that charm as being a unique build to play.

==== Contemporary ====
[[Chapter 1]] brings us an upgrade from the current Furious set to the new combo consisting of {{#item:400982}} + {{#item:540110}} as part of the [[Frontier_Rune_Crown|Frontier Rune Crown and Weapon series]] which are obtained from the [[Zero Cell Sector]]. Post-Frontier Gears/Chapter 1 updates, I am happy to share that Spell Fist has advanced from being a meme build to play to a viable and almost competitive build to play. Now what makes this combo different from the Furious set is that it will let you autocast the Arch Mage skill '''{{#skill:5220}}''' at a 60% chance every time you cast your Magician skill '''{{#skill:13}}'''. What's more, Soul Vulcan Strike will be autocasted <u>coming from any sources of casted Soul Strike</u> including ones from procs such as our own '''{{#skill:279}}''' and {{#item:420003}}, and {{#item:18666}}. This eliminates the problem of not being able to equip {{#item:470337}} to boost your 4th job skills unlike Furious set where you would always need to equip the {{#item:470265}} or otherwise the autocast shenanigans won't happen. With the Chapter 1 update also comes new set of cards, and one of them that stands out the most is the {{#item:300666}}which lets you autocast another Arch Mage skill called '''{{#skill:5233}}''' and the Abyss Chaser skill '''{{#skill:6515}}''' at a 10% and 7% chance, respectively. You are not just autocasting 1st/2nd/3rd job skills anymore, but 4th job skills which all scale with your SPL and have higher base MAtk%.
The only downside I could see with this build is it will need more CD reduction for our gap closer skill '''{{#skill:6517}}'''. Having an 11x11 AoE with SVS is good but having the need to get closer to each individual monster is not. I hope Gravity would consider decreasing the innate CD of Psychic Stream to make this build more viable for field farming. Now, while Spell Fist build has improved a lot, I still see don't see it being stronger than our autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' build, and it shouldn't really replace it and we should just appreciate them separately on their own. Spell Fist build will cater to a niche few which is not bad, and Elemental Buster build for the majority of the player base which is understandable. Again, play whatever build you love the most. That way, you will have more fun in the game when you play something that you genuinely love doing.
