Wind Magic: fu

Closely tied to nature and life, Wind Magic is a balance of offense and defense, debuffs and buffs. It has a few healing effects and eventually a single rez, but they require a much higher skill level and are less efficient than their Water equivalents. Wind Magic damage delivers significant concussive force in addition to raw damage, giving it a knockback effect that scales in intensity with its magnitude.

Sylphs have a natural affinity with wind, and receive the following benefits:

• They begin with the Wind Magic skill, which does not consume a skill slot.
• +25% base Wind Resistance
• +10% rate of skill gain with Wind Magic
• -1 to minimum Magnitudes for Wind Magic spell effects
