Mercenaries Skill Videos

[Archael]

Request: Someone give me a list of skills which are 100% going to make it in so I can possibly make videos and assign some spell effects to them?

[The Damned]

This list is going by what Lasting Dawn himself has seemed to declare test worthy and since you would have more correspondence with him than I would....

Most seem to be of the magical nature rather than the physical nature:

Gambler's Skills

Coin Toss: Range 1, area 1, linear attack, random fire, deals moderate-heavy non-elemental magical damage to either the Gambler or his target (only hits once, so 50-50 odds).

(Blind/Poison/Don't Move/Addle/Berserk)

Ace of Spades- Deals high damage, Very low chance to cause instant death.

Dice Off: Range 1, area 1, linear attack, random fire, deals light-moderate non-elemental magical damage 1-6 times randomly between the gambler and his target.

Invoker

Burn - MA * 6 (MA + 50%) Range 3, Effect Area 1, Vertical 3, MP 8, Chance to inflict Haste- The most powerful of the Invoker's spellbook, yet also one of the most inaccurate. It's power is augmented in it's spread damage.
