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 physical 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
