   <li>This guide is still a work in progress. Everything you see here may change or be adjusted depending on future game updates.</li>

   <li>This guide is based on my personal experience, knowledge, opinions, and preferences in the game.</li>

   <li>There may be errors or inaccuracies in this guide. If you spot any, feel free to contact me, and I would greatly appreciate any corrections!</li>

   <li><u>Exceptional AoE (Area of Effect) Damage</u>: Arch Mages are renowned for their powerful AoE spells, such as <b>Crystal Impact</b> and <b>Astral Strike</b>, which allow them to deal massive damage to multiple enemies at once.</li>

   <li><u>Long Range Spells</u>: Arch Mages can engage enemies from a long distance with spells like <b>Comet</b>, <b>All Bloom</b>, and <b>Violent Quake</b>, making them highly effective in ranged combat.</li>

   <li><u>High DPS (Damage per Second)</u>: Arch Mages are among the strongest DPS classes, capable of delivering huge damage both in PvM (Player vs. Monster) and PvP (Player vs. Player).</li>

   <li><u>Crowd Control and Debuffs</u>: They possess a variety of crowd control abilities (e.g., <b>Frost Misty</b>, <b>Quagmire</b>) and strong debuffs like <b>Comet</b>’s magic intoxification, which can weaken enemies and disrupt their strategies.</li>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Cons" style="font-size: 1.6em;">Cons 🅾️</span></h3>

<ul style="font-size: 1.2em;">

   <li><u>Dependence on MDEF Penetration</u>: Their damage is heavily reliant on <b>MDEF</b> (Magic Defense) penetration, so they can struggle against enemies with high MDEF unless they have the right gear or skills to bypass it.</li>

   <li><u>Limited Skill Points</u>: Arch Mages are often forced to specialize in only a few key skills due to limited skill points, making it difficult to diversify their abilities across different builds.</li>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Cons" style="font-size: 1.6em;">AP Gains and Lost 🧺</span></h3>

<ul style="font-size: 1.0rem">

   <li>Dying resets your AP to <b><span style="color:brown;">0%</span></b>. Unlike HP or SP, AP does not regenerate passively, but it can be recovered from a Healer NPC.</li>

<!--T:48-->

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">Casting Time is the period required to execute a skill. This is an essential consideration when planning builds, especially for Mage classes, as it influences stat choices, skill selection, and equipment.</p>

<!--T:51-->

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">- If a skill has no base Cast Time or modifiers reduce it to 0 or less, the casting phase is skipped entirely, and no cast bar appears.<br>- During casting, the character cannot move, attack, or use other skills, but consumables can still be used. If the character takes damage during casting, the skill is canceled unless special conditions apply (e.g., using a {{#item:4077}}{{#linkitem:4077|Phen}} or being '''{{#skill:255}}''' by a <strong>Crusader</strong>).</p>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">The <strong>Casting Bar</strong> (or "Cast Bar" or <strong>CB</strong>) is shown as a progress gauge above the character's head. It starts as an empty black bar and gradually fills green as casting progresses. Once the bar is full, the casting is complete. Some skills may not display a Cast Bar, even though they have a cast time (e.g., '''{{#skill:10}}''' or '''{{#skill:92}}''').</p>

<!--T:52-->

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">Variable Cast Time is the most flexible type of cast time and can be reduced through various methods. The general formula for calculating VCT is:</p>

<!--T:53-->

<!--T:54-->

<ul style="font-size: 1.2em;">

     <li>You can achieve <strong>0 VCT</strong> using stats alone or via percentage reductions, but not by combining both methods due to the way the formula works.</li>

</ul>

[[File:frieren-sousou-no-frieren.gif|600px]]

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Fixed Cast Time ⌛️</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">▶ Fixed cast time is in a more complicated side when taken in account than VCT, being totally unaffected by stats. The formula for FCT is as follows:</p>

</ul>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><br>▶ However, flat reductions like:<br></p>

<ul>

</ul>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><u><b>Do stack</b></u> with other flat reduction effects. Stacking flat reductions is the only possible way of removing a skill's fixed cast time because there exists no single source of 100% FCT reduction. The only exception are the Oboro / Kagerou classes, who have the skill '''{{#skill:3022}}''' which removes fixed cast time entirely.</p>

<ul>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">'''{{#skill:2202}}''': This skill doesn't have any FCT (you could ditch FCT gears and wear damage gears for more damage on this build).</li>

</ul>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Cast Delay ⏳</span></h3>

<div style="font-size: 1.3em;">

   <p><b>Cast Delay</b> refers to the time after using a skill during which you cannot use the same or other skills. This mechanic was relatively obscure in Pre-Renewal but became more significant in Renewal. Cast Delay is now divided into two distinct types:</p>

     <li><b>Cast Delay:</b> Prevents all skills from being cast. Some skills, such as {{#skill:89}}, have longer Cast Delays, while others, like {{#skill:14}}, have shorter ones. Cast Delay can be reduced by specific equipment, such as the {{#item:2703}}, {{#item:4403}}, or through a Bard's '''{{#skill:321}}''' skill.</li>

     <li><b>Cooldown:</b> Prevents the specific skill from being used again until the cooldown period ends.</li>

   </ul>

[[File:miyu cast delay.png|400px]]

   <ul>

     <li><b>After Cast Delay:</b> The period during which all skills are temporarily unavailable after casting a skill.</li>

   </ul>

   <ul>

     <li>If the <b>After Cast Delay</b> of a skill that has no <b>Skill Delay</b> is reduced to a value smaller than its <b>Animation Delay</b>, increasing ASPD (Attack Speed) or using Animation Delay Cancel will allow you to reuse the skill more frequently.</li>

<p><i>I love reading novels! *cough* i mean spell books!</i></p>

[[File:Miyu reading book.gif|550px]]

'''<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">Old Behavior:❌</p>  

<pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">To store a spell, you must have the specific spellbook in your inventory. A Spell Storing tab will appear, allowing you to select which spell you wish to store. By left-clicking it, each spellbook has a “mind slot” cost – the more powerful the spell, the more slots it occupies.</pre>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">New Behavior:✔️</p>

<pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">With the new update and the introduction of the new spellbooks, to store a spell, you simply need to read and consume the book. There is no longer a Spell Storing tab, making the process much faster and more convenient. Spells are now automatically stored once you read the book, removing the need for the previous manual process.</pre>

<b style="font-size: 1.2em;">You can check this by using the <i>(<span style="color:Brown;">@spellbook</span>)</i> command in-game.</b><br></p>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">______________________________________________________________<br></p>

<ul>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">The number of spells you can store is determined by the following formula:</li>

</ul>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">Old Formula:❌</p>

<pre style="font-size: 1.3em;">Slots = (4 * Freezing Spell Lv) + floor(BLv/10) + floor(INT/10)</pre>

'''<p style="font-size: 1.4em;">New Formula:✔️</p>

<p style="font-size: 1.3em;">With the updated system, the mind slot cost per skill level has been increased from 4 to 8. However, the maximum number of spells you can memorize is capped at 7.</p>

<pre style="font-size: 1.3em;">Slots = (8 * Freezing Spell Lv) + floor(BLv/10) + floor(INT/10)</pre>

<p><i>Did you know flee's are useless against mages?</i></p>

   <li>To obtain the final damage, apply Hard MDEF first and then apply Soft MDEF.</li>

</ul>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Soft_Magic_Defense" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Soft Magic Defense 🔰</span></h3>

<ul style="font-size: 1.2rem;">

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Hard_Magic_Defense" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Hard Magic Defense 🔰</span></h3>

<ul style="font-size: 1.2rem;">

</ul>

<p style="font-size: 1.2rem;">

⚠️ This indicates that as Hard MDEF increases, the percentage of magic damage reduced also increases, but with diminishing returns. For example: </br>

🔮 20 Hard MDEF provides approximately 15% damage reduction. </br>

🔮 40 Hard MDEF provides approximately 25% damage reduction. </br>

</p>

     <pre style="font-size: 1.1rem;">

   </li>

   <li>Similar to Hard MDEF, MRES provides significant reductions as it increases, but its effectiveness diminishes at higher values due to diminishing returns.</li>

</ul>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Magic_Resistance_Penetration" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">MRES Penetration 🎯</span></h3>

<ul style="font-size: 1.1rem;">

   <li>MRES Penetration can be obtained through equipment effects, enchantments, and certain skills.</li>

<pre style="font-size: 1.3em;">At 100% Full MDEF Bypass: All of your magic damage will bypass the enemy’s MDEF, dealing full damage without any reduction.</pre>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.6em;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Stacking_Modifiers">Stacking Modifiers 📐</span></h3>

<pre style="font-size: 1.2em;">Modifiers in the game come in several types: (Race, Size, Element Property, Boss, Normal, Skill)</pre>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">______________________________________________________________</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.6em;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Modifier_Good_and_Bad-o-meter">Modifier Effectiveness Meter 📏</span></h3>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">▶ In late-game, it’s common to achieve high percentages for modifiers (e.g., 200% or more) due to new cards and equipment introduced in updates. <br><b><span style="color:Brown;">However, to maximize damage, it's important to balance modifiers across different types.</span></b></p>

</ul>

</br>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">To determine the total damage increase from your card combo, follow this formula:</p>

or

[[File:Miyu modifiers.png|300px]]

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;">______________________________________________________________</p>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>We’ll be using these cards as example:</b></p>

<li><b>'''{{#item:27384}}''' [<b><span style="color:indigo;">Size</span></b>] – Increase damage inflicted on Medium and Large size monster by 25%. MATK + 15</li>

</ul>

<ul style="font-size: 1.2em;">

</ul>

<p style="font-size: 1.2em;"><b>Using the cards above, we'll have the following formula when you compound those cards in your 4-slotted weapon:</b></p>

<ul style="font-size: 1.2em;">

  <p style="font-size: 1.2em;">So we can therefore conclude that using a maximum of 2 cards per modifier type is more effective than using 4 of the same cards.</p>
