	'''Dark Catalyst''' converts the [[mana]] of the target into elemental energy, causing mana loss and massive critical damage. A successful cast can yield mana return between 1 and 14 to the caster (heavily weighted towards lower amounts). The spell's offensive impact is determined by the target's current amount of magical power, the amount by which their spiritual warding fails, as well as one's training in the [[Elemental Lore]]s.		<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Dark Catalyst''' converts</noinclude><includeonly>Converts</includeonly> the [[mana]] of the target into elemental energy, causing mana loss and massive critical damage.<section end=description /> A successful cast can yield mana return between 1 and 14 to the caster (heavily weighted towards lower amounts). The spell's offensive impact is determined by the target's current amount of magical power, the amount by which their spiritual warding fails, as well as one's training in the [[Elemental Lore]]s.

	On a successful cast, five individual strikes are unleashed upon the target. In order: essence ([[health]] only, no [[critical]]), [[Fire critical table\|fire]], [[Cold critical table\|ice]], [[Lightning critical table\|lightning]], and [[Impact critical table\|impact]]. Magical and semi-magical creatures have a high chance of being killed with a single cast. If the target dies before receiving all of the strikes, the spell will end immediately. This may also cut off any mana return.		On a successful cast, five individual strikes are unleashed upon the target.

	Because Dark Catalyst turns mana into elemental energy, it is most effective against spell-casting creatures that have a lot of mana, and creatures that are most vulnerable to the applicable elements. There are two individual considerations to take into account considering the efficiency of this spell.
