Revision as of 19:11, 2 November 2012
Though I loathe each and every one of these effects from the bottom of my very soul, they are necessary in order to provide a well-balanced and rounded gameplay experience. Each effect is temporary and can be overcome with the use of a MRPG Flourish. The other goodnews is each and every effect has a potential immunity available!
Effects:
- Blindness
- Knockdown
- Disarm
- Injured
- Immobile
- Inept
- Blithesome

They can cast AOE-spells that emanate from the mage(not froma target). On the player's screen blindness will manifest as a dark shroud over the character's head. The duration of blindness depends on the cause, all sorts of items can trigger a blindness effect as well as numerous spells.

You are knocked down and cannot attack, move, or cast spells. Knockdown can be caused by spells or activated abilities characters can learn through facets. Knockdown lasts for 5-7 seconds.
