Description
|
|
Creates a powerful protective field using the power of mana in order to defend against enemy attacks. It is effective against both physical attacks and magic attacks. The more understanding you have in using mana, the less mana you will use to defend.

Details
- Mana Shield is an active skill which will cause any damage taken to deduct from your Mana pool instead of Life.
- Because injury does not affect Mana, Mana Shield makes a player entirely immune to injury while active.
- Mana Shield activation invokes the Mana Shield Status; the shield will only work if the status is present.
- Mana Shield slowly drains Mana while activated.
- When you are out of MP, the skill is deactivated.
- All damage dealt to you will be shown in blue instead of red.
- If you are hit for more damage than you have Mana for (after calculating efficiency), the Mana shield status is immediately deactivated and the portion of the damage that was not blocked will be received as HP damage.
- Using Mana Shield and a MP Elixir together will cause the elixir's effect to expire 5 times faster than normal. Disabling Mana Shield will remove the penalty, but will not restore lost time.
- Damage that exceeds a player's Mana capacity will still cause damage while canceling Mana Shield, even with a MP Elixir in effect.
- However a Recovery Booster's time will not be affected.
- Using Mana Shield with Windmill will lower the players Life as well as Mana.
- The amount of Mana it takes is calculated by (Max HP * 0.1) / Efficiency
- Using Mana Shield while in deadly status will not prevent death, however it will still drain MP.
- Mana Shield cannot be activated while a skill is being loaded, but can be activated freely after the skill is fully loaded.
- Mana Shield cannot be activated when you are stunned, pushed back, or knocked down.
- However, it can be deactivated at anytime, even during the middle of an attack cycle.
- Intelligence adds to the skill's efficiency, up to a maximum of 300 int, which adds about 0.85 to efficiency.
- Having a healing wand equipped adds 0.5 to efficiency.
- If attacked by life drain while using Mana Shield, the initial draining of hp will directly affect hp, however the damage dealt from being knocked back will be taken from mp.
- Wearing equipment that invokes the Mana Reduction status will further add 10% reduction to damage received toward Mana Shield.
Easy Training
At higher levels, Mana Shield requires you to be hit by specific types of attacks. Melee attacks are exceedingly easy to build up if you have a mount. Go to any low level dungeon like Ciar normal and look around for a large mimic pit. Get on your mount and touch all of the mimics. They will not awaken immediately. Once you unmount your pet, the mimics will simultaneously awaken and aggro you together. If you have reasonably high MP and mimics do only 1 point in damage to you, you can sit back and watch the melee hits pile up. You can also use Enthralling Performance to get multiple weak melee enemies to attack you at once.
For range, it's the same, but look for an orb room of goblin archers instead. For magic attacks, you may want to go to Ceo island or Coill dungeon and attract one of the elemental sprites. It would be helpful to have elemental protection (such as equipment with magic resist or elementals) in order to maintain low damage.
If you lack a reasonable amount of MP, lure monsters to Mana Tunnels from 6 AM to 6 PM (In-game). The tunnel will constantly regenerate your MP and will hopefully sustain your MP when taking damage.

*Mana Efficiency is the ratio of mana used and the actual damage being dealt to you. (1 : ?) For example: if you have 0.8 total efficiency (Rank F, 0 Int, no healing wand), 100 damage will cost you 125 mana. At 2.5 efficiency (Rank 1, 0 Int, no healing wand), 100 damage will cost you 40 mana.
Obtaining the Skill
- Talk to Kousai in Cor about skills without an orb in your inventory.
- Talk to Waboka. He will ask you to kill 10 Hobgoblins.
- Talk to Kusina. She will ask you to get any friend of the opposite sex (race does not matter). Make a party with someone then talk to Kusina once more.
- You must be the leader of the party.
- Talk to Tupai. He will ask you to tame an Otter . If you don't have one already, buy a Taming Rod and some Bait and equip them (Tupai sells basic versions of these items). Then head to the beacon on the map near the Marshes of Pantay to find Otters. (You do not have to tame the otters at Marshes of Pantay, the ones north of Cor work as well)
- Use the Taming Wild Animals skill to tame an Otter.
- Once successful, talk to Kousai, and you will be rewarded with the Mana Shield skill.
