Banishes weaker spells within its range and instills fear in nearby opponents.

See also: Sacred 2:Combat Art Modifications

Bronze

Strength - Increases banishing potential but maintain the same effective radius. (40% increase)
Expansion - Increases effective radius but maintains the banishing potential. (+25%)

Silver

Pentagram - Reduces the duration and impact of incoming weakening effects. (50% reduction on debuffs)
Banish Dead - Damages undead creatures within the radius of effectiveness. (As comparison: Half the damage of the unmodded Fireball, damage type magic, only vs Undead)

Gold

Protection - Chance to block direct magical damage. (30% + 2% per CA level chance to block spell)
Banish Creation - Damages T-Energy creatures within the radius of effectiveness. (Same damage as Banish Dead, but damage type fire, only vs T-Energy creatures)

Delphic Arcania Lore presumably increases execution speed, but affects no visible numbers.
Delphic Arcania Focus reduces regeneration time as usual.
Concentration reduces regeneration time as usual.
Stamina reduces regeneration time as usual.

Will provide a chance to block enemy spells and CAs, i.e. the Kobold Chief's boulder throw attack.
Can be used debuff enemies (can remove enemy energy shields like the 4 guardians or Gar Colossus).
Will also prevent enemies from casting their own buffs.
Can also be used as an AoE against Undead and/or T-Mutants.
Possible strategy is to keep this ca around maximum ca level without penalty. This will increase the duration and casting strength meaning you don't have to re-cast it as often.

Pros

A strong defensive CA against non-weapon-based attacks from enemies.
Can provide an area of relative safety once the strength of the fear effect increases with higher levels.

Cons

The CA is cast on a fixed circular area that does not move with the High Elf. If an enemy moves out of the circle, it is no longer affected.
