Skills

-I’ve been working on new Earth spells for Lace!

The new spells are under a new Earth magic book.

Boulder Bash

-Conjure a boulder to drop on an enemy. Target's ATK, MAG, DEF, M.DEF and SPE each have a 15% chance to be debuffed.

Cost: 50 MP

Rock Armor

-Protect an ally with a conjured armor, increasing their ATK and DEF for 3 turns, this spell has a chance to buff those stats twice!

Cost: 100 MP

Entomb

-Crush a target between sharp rocks. 25% chance to PETRIFY the target. Deals massive damage to PETRIFIED targets.

Cost: 150 MP

Earthquake

-Deal more Earth damage the more enemies there are.

Damage formula is something like this: MAG * (1 + the number of alive enemies halved, for example 6 enemies adds a 3. The number decreases when enemies die.) – enemy M.DEF

Cost: 200 MP

----------

There is a new state “PETRIFIED”

It makes the one who has it unable to do anything for 1 to 3 turns. Their DEF is increased by 50% for the duration of the state.

----------

Lace’s Defend skill now counts how many times you use it. The counter starts at 0 this build.

----------

Layout

I started working on the Golorock forest. It’s coming along great!

The layout is working great and with some clever placing, I was able to fit many different kinds of locations on it
