Expulse Magic without Modifications

Skills and Attributes

The following skills will affect this combat art:

• Delphic Arcania Lore - increases the banishing potential number (Ice & Blood only). Increases casting speed and allows for modification points. Possibly increases the damage against Undead and T-Mutants (unconfirmed).

• Delphic Arcania Focus - reduces regeneration time and allows for higher level combat art without penalty, allows for modification points.

• Concentration - directly improves regeneration time

• Combat Discipline - will lower its regeneration time if it is placed in a combo.

The following attributes will affect this combat art:

• Stamina will lower regeneration time

• Note: Intelligence, Ancient Magic, and Damage Lore may enhance the damage from the Banish Creation and Banish Dead mods (unconfirmed)

Usage Strategies

• 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 it won't have to be re-cast as often.

Pros and Cons

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.
• Multiple castings stack (power of CA stacks for magic expulsion).

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.
• ...

Notes

• The Protection modification allows the elf to block Combat Arts for the entire duration of Expulse Magic regardless of whether or not she stays in the circle.
