Upon receiving a successful physical attack (melee, bolt, and maneuver), the wizard can 'snap' back in time to immediately before the attack occured. Having knowledge of the inevitably oncoming blow allows the wizard to face the attack with an increase of +200 to their generic defensive strength as well as a comparable increase in maneuver defense. The base chance for this to occur is 10%, and is increased by 1% for every 20 skill bonus in Elemental Mana Control (max 25% with 202 ranks EMC).

The maximum achievable activation rate is 27%, with +40 EMC from enhancive items.

  • Additional benefits for training in Elemental Lores may be added to this spell at a later time.

Messaging

Initial Cast

For a moment, everything you hear and see echoes weirdly around you, but then everything seems normal again. Your personal temporal reality has been slightly offset from the true flow of time.

Wearing Off

Spell in Action

A greater construct raises its massive foot and attempts to smash you!
 AS: +443 vs DS: +394 with AvD: +33 + d100 roll: +47 = +129
 A hit!

Your surroundings melt away as the air around you shivers with a large flux of mana. Abruptly, time wrenches violently to give you a second chance. This time, you're better prepared.

A greater construct swings a massive arm at you!
 AS: +443 vs DS: +594 with AvD: +44 + d100 roll: +2 = -105
 A clean miss.
