Thunder Storm summons a storm that rains lightning repeatedly over a 5×5 area, striking all enemies caught within it.

Overview

Thunder Storm is the Mage's Wind-element area attack, excellent against Water- and Flying-element packs. It calls down repeated lightning strikes over the targeted ground, dealing Wind magic damage to every enemy in the zone.

Mechanics

The storm hits the targeted 5×5 area and strikes each enemy inside it once per skill level. Every strike lands at full magic power, with no per-strike reduction.

Damage formula: each strike deals 100 (% of MATK), for a total of 100 × SkillLv (% of MATK) against an enemy that stays inside the area for the whole storm.

So the full storm scales from 100% at Lv 1 to 1000% at Lv 10, split across the individual strikes.

Leveling

Level	Strikes	Total damage (% MATK)	Cast time (sec)	SP
1	1	100	0.7	29
3	3	300	2.1	39
5	5	500	3.5	49
7	7	700	4.9	59
10	10	1000	7.0	74

Notes

Can be copied by Plagiarism and Reproduce.
The long cast time at high levels makes Thunder Storm best deployed from safety or against stationary/grouped enemies.
