Auto Spell lets the Sage pick one learned bolt spell to be auto-cast on melee attacks, and grants an Agility boost for as long as the buff lasts. On VortexRo this skill is reworked to fold an AGI bonus into the classic auto-cast effect.

Overview

When cast, Auto Spell opens a menu to choose one of the Sage's learned bolt spells (Fire Bolt, Cold Bolt, Lightning Bolt, and similar). While the buff is up, normal melee attacks have a chance to automatically fire the chosen spell for free of casting. The buff also raises the Sage's Agility.

Mechanics

Auto Spell provides two effects while active:

• Auto-cast on melee: each melee attack has a (10 + 4 × SkillLv)% chance to auto-cast the chosen spell. The auto-cast costs only ⅔ of the spell's normal SP, and the spell level used is limited by the Sage's learned level of both Auto Spell and the chosen spell. It will not trigger when SP is too low to pay the reduced cost.
• Agility bonus: AGI increases by a percentage of the Sage's base Agility (Agility granted by cards is not counted).

Agility bonus formula: +(2 + 2 × SkillLv)% of base AGI — 4% / 6% / 8% / 10% / 12% at Levels 1–5.

The AGI bonus is suppressed while the Sage is under Quagmire.

Leveling

Level	Auto-cast chance	AGI bonus	Duration
1	14%	+4%	2 min
2	18%	+6%	4 min
3	22%	+8%	6 min
4	26%	+10%	8 min
5	30%	+12%	10 min

Notes

Only a spell the Sage has already learned can be selected for auto-casting. The auto-cast SP discount makes it an efficient source of extra magic damage during melee combat.
