Bar Elemental

Bar Elemental is a beneficial status effect that surrounds a player with an element until it wears off or is removed. Benefiting characters gain resistance to a specific element. Damaging spells of the same element will have a chance of getting resisted and deal reduced damage. Enfeebling effects of the same element (directly or indirectly) will have a lower chance of landing on the characters.

How to remove the effect

• This effect can be dispelled.
• This effect can be removed manually.
• Only one Bar Element spell can be cast at one time, and any new Bar Element effect will replace the previous one.

Effect/duration

The amount of the resistance increase (R) and the effect duration in seconds (D) are related to Enhancing Magic Skill (E) as follows:

<math> Resistance = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}

40+\lfloor \frac{E}{5} \rfloor & \qquad\qquad \text{ if Enhancing Magic Skill} \leq 300\\ 25+\lfloor \frac{E}{4} \rfloor & \qquad\qquad \text{ if Enhancing Magic Skill} >300\\ \end{array}\right.</math>

<math> Duration \ = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}

150 & \text{ if Enhancing Magic Skill} \leq 180\\ 150+0.8(E-180) & \text{ if Enhancing Magic Skill} > 180\\ \end{array}\right.</math>
