   <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>

</div>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<ul>

     <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>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<h4>Types of Delays</h4>

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

     <li><b>Skill Delay:</b> A delay specific to the skill itself, preventing its immediate reuse.</li>

     <li><b>Animation Delay:</b> The visual animation time that affects the ability to chain skills.</li>

   <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">

<p>The ability to spam a skill is limited by the highest of these factors. For example:</p>

     <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>

     <li>Some skills lose their Animation Delay entirely when <b>Instant Cast</b> (265 DEX or 100% Cast Time Reduction) is achieved. Examples include '''{{#skill:89}}''' and '''{{#skill:83}}'''.</li>

     <li>However, skills like '''{{#skill:84}}''' are oddly more effective when cast with 264 DEX instead of 265, due to better animation timing. The same behavior is observed with '''{{#skill:2214}}''' from the Warlock skill tree.</li>

   <p>⚠️ Skills not included in this list has longer cooldowns or is not being (<span style="color:Brown;"><b>Used</b></span>) at all.</p>

   <p>🧮 These given percentages are also dependent on your ASPD (you might have a different outcome if you are not within 193 ASPD).</p>

</div>

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

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">This skill allows you to instantly cast previously stored spells by '''{{#skill:2231}}''' like {{#item:100073}}, which can later be released using the '''{{#skill:2230}}''' skill.</li>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">There are a total of <b><span style="color:Brown;">17</span></b> (Old Spell Books) and <b><span style="color:Brown;">9</span></b> (New Spell Books); the rest of the spell books have been discontinued and are no longer available.</li>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">Once a spell is sealed or after reading the spellbook, the corresponding SP cost is immediately applied.</li>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">Skills cast through this method can be enhanced by '''{{#skill:366}}''', as the '''{{#skill:2230}}''' skill no longer consumes the effect as it did in the past.</li>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">If you attempt to read a Spell Book for a skill you haven't learned, the attempt will fail and the caster will be put to <b><span style="color:Brown;">Sleep</span></b>. (Make sure you've allocated skill points to those skills first!)</li>

'''<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>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">Mind Slots are a limited resource that determines how many spells you can memorize at any given time. The number of available slots is influenced by your <b>Base Level</b>, <b>INT</b>, and the level of '''{{#skill:2232}}''' if you've learned it. This determines how many spells you can store.</li>

   <li style="font-size: 1.2em;">Note that this mechanic is implicit and there is no visible indicator of how many spells you have memorized or how many slots are available.</li>

<p><span style="color:Brown;"><i style="font-size: 1.2em;">📌 However, thanks to Muh (exclusive to MuhRO), you can visually track how many spells you can store.</i></span> <br>

<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>

</div>

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

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

'''<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>

   <p style="font-size: 1.3em;">▶ Inflicts MATK|Magic Damage to a single target one or multiple times by using the elemental orbs summoned through their respective skills (Fire, Water, Lightning, Stone). This skill can also be used to quickly let out <b>one</b> of the sealed spells at random through Reading Spell Book.</p>

   <p style="font-size: 1.3em;">▶ For released ground spells like Storm Gust and Comet, the target will be the center of the Area of Effect. The exception to this is Earth Strain, where the location of the target only indicates the direction the spell will travel to.</p>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Traits" style="font-size: 1.5rem;">Purchasing Spell Books 📖</span></h3>

   <li>You can purchase spell books at the [[https://wiki.muhro.eu/Main_Office|m MainOffice.]] from the Magician Dealer NPC {{#navi:main_office|63|59}}.</li>

   <li>Each Spell Book has a cost, dependent on the level/Tier of the Spell Book.</li>

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="About_Arch_Mage"><span style="color:rgb(153,73,0); font-family: sans-serif; text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black; font-size: 2rem">Soft Mdef / Hard Mdef / Mres / Magic Penetrations</span></span></h2>

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

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

   <li>The total magical defense that is factored upon magic damage, which is generally based on MATK as a whole or partially. However, there are exceptions.</li>

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

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

   <li>Soft magic defense, also known as "INT" magic defense, reduces incoming magic damage directly.</li>

   <li><b>BonusA</b> is the sum of additive bonuses.</li>

   <li><b>BonusB</b> is the sum of multiplicative bonuses.</li>

   <li>Monsters use a different SoftMDEF formula.</li>

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

   <li>Hard magic defense, also known as "armor" or "equipment" magic defense, reduces incoming magic damage multiplicatively.</li>

   <li>Hard magic defense has a base value of 0, and is increased by equipment, some skills, and items.</li>

   <li><b>Damage after Hard MDEF</b> = <code>Damage × [(1000 + HardMDEF) ÷ (1000 + HardMDEF × 10)]</code></li>

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

</div>

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

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

🔮 125 Hard MDEF provides approximately 50% damage reduction. </br>

<b>(It is shown as </b><span style="color:Red;">A</span><b> + </b><span style="color:Blue;">B</span><b> in the Status Window, where </b><span style="color:Red;">A</span><b> represents the </b><span style="color:Red;">Soft Mdef</span><b> and </b><span style="color:Blue;">B</span><b> represents the </b><span style="color:Blue;">Hard Mdef</span><b>.)</b>

   <li>The Magical Defense (MDEF) system was revamped in the Renewal  

   Update. HardDEF/MDEF is no longer limited into a 1-100 point system,  

   with 100 being full immunity. Instead, the effect of HardMDEF is now

   reduced exponentially as the number goes up (i.e. the higher the number,

   the less effect every single point adds);</li>

   <li>SoftDEF/MDEF, which is mostly based on VIT and INT respectively,  

   did not go through a lot of change from Pre-Renewal. They reduce damage  

   subtractively, removing flat amounts from the final damage after the

   HardDEF/MDEF reductions are applied.</li>

<b>(While introducing the 4th job trait/status seen as </b><span style="color:Green;">C</span><b> in the lower Status Window as </b><span style="color:Green;">Mres</span><b> </b>

   <li>Magic Resistance (MRES) is a defensive stat that reduces incoming magic damage multiplicatively.</li>

   <li>MRES is primarily increased through equipment, buffs, skills, and certain consumable items.</li>

   <li><b>Formula:</b> The final damage reduction is calculated as:

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

<span style="color:Brown;">The Effectiveness amount is at <b>50%</b></span>
