Mastery

  • At Level 75 Ancient Magic reduces opponents' immunities against your Combat Arts (unlocks the "Opponents' Immunities +%" skill bonus).


Properties

  • Although it is not clearly documented or displayed, Ancient Magic Mastery's effect seems to cause a percentage decrease in a target's global armor against each of the 5 types of damage. This will allow a character to do increased damage (up to the theoretical maximum allowed by the CA's current level and mods) because there is less armor to decrease the amount of damage.
  • For example, a fireball cast against a highly fire resistant monster will do significantly less damage than the CA screen indicates because of the monster's fire armor value. A fireball cast with Ancient Magic Mastery active will decrease the fire armor value of the monster by a percentage befofe calculating damage, allowing for increased fire damage.
  • Characters that do not have access to Ancient Magic will be unable to pierce resistances, and must either increase damage values to compensate or select another damage type.
