Stats - A Detailed Explanation

[Alexander]

-----Allocations and Explanations-----

Here you will find a more detailed explanation on specific stats, their use, and how they're allocated. You'll also find further detail on the use of magic.
Don't worry, were not big on stats here and though this page might appear more complicated then what it really is, it's really not as bad as it looks. Take your time, look through it, and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

• Physical Attack - A stat that determines the amount of physical/melee damage a character deals against other characters. The higher the physical attack value, the higher the damage dealt. Physical Attack can be altered, whether by increase or decrease, by abilities, spells, and items.

[li]Please be courteous to your fellow players by calculating your attack or defense values and posting them at the bottom of your post. I.E: State how much your attacks are dealing. If your on the defensive, state how much damage your receiving as well as remaining HP. [/li][/ul][/li][/ul]

-----Magic: Further Details------

When a spell of a specific element/type [IE: Fire] is used, that specific element/type cannot be used again until it has completed it's cooldown period.

-Example: If Shantotto casts Level 1 Fire, she cannot cast another Fire-tier spell 1 post (1 post being the cooldown time for level 1 spells). After 1 post, she is free to cast Level 1 Fire again.

Currently, the recharge time for spells are as follows.

• Lvl 1-2- Recharge Time is One Post.
  
• Lvl 3- Recharge is two posts.
  
• Lvl 4- Recharge is three posts.
