ELEMENT Element

ELEMENT (a child element of SPELL) defines the element type that the skill or weapon belongs to. The element type of a skill or weapon affects the damage and the chance of successful hit. For example, a spell of Fire element will cause less damage to enemies of Fire element. On the contrast, the same spell will cause more damage to enemies of Ice element.

Supported Values

ELEMENT supports the use of any one of the following text string as value.

• Fire
• Ice
• Lightning
• Poison
• Evil
• Holy
• Mind
• Time
• None

None means the skill or weapon does not belong to any element type, which is generally the same as simply ignoring ELEMENT. However, notice the difference in the way magic defense is handled.

Generally, damage caused by any magical skill or weapon will be affected by the magic defense of the target. However, if ELEMENT is not used, magic defense of the target will be ignored, while in the case of setting ELEMENT as None, magic defense of the target will still be in effect.
