'''Temporal Reversion 540'''


{{Not-yet-implemented|spell}}
Type: Defense


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 [[defense strength]] as well as an increase in maneuver defense. The base chance for this to occur is 10%, and is increased by 1% for every 30 skill bonus in [[Elemental Mana Control]] (max 20%).
Duration: 10 Minutes

This spell, as proposed here, allows the wizard to turn back the hands of time when successfully attacked physically. The Temporal Reversion effect returns the wizard to the moment before the initial attack better prepared to meet a potentially powerful, incoming assault. In practical application, this means first attack will not "count" and the creature will have to take a second attack roll at the wizard. Meanwhile the wizard automatically experiences a +200 DS boost and a dramatically heightened ability to defend against critter-based maneuver attacks when encountering this second try.

The ability to shift time is always a chancy thing. The spell would only be successful based upon:

10% + (Elemental Mana Control skill/30)


There is also discussion about giving wizards with lore training a chance to add an elemental counter attack to the automatic DS boost if they shift into Temporal Reversion mode.

Duration 600 sec
Type Defense

This spell is not yet implemented and may currently be under development. Information presented in this article is subject to change.

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 defense strength as well as an increase in maneuver defense. The base chance for this to occur is 10%, and is increased by 1% for every 30 skill bonus in Elemental Mana Control (max 20%).
