Cast time	0.5 seconds
Duration	Permanent (until the target dies)
Requires	Quest

Overview

Signum Crucis is a quest skill, learned by completing a quest rather than by spending skill points. It marks Undead-element and Demon-race enemies across the screen and weakens their defenses, making them far easier to destroy.

Mechanics

When cast, the skill attempts to affect every Undead-element and Demon-race enemy on screen. Each affected target has its physical defense lowered by 25% and its magic defense lowered by 25%. The effect lasts until the target dies. It does not affect players.

Whether each target is successfully marked is determined individually by a success chance based on the level difference between the caster and the target.

Formula

Success chance = 50 + caster's Base Level − target's Base Level (in %)

Notes

Casting takes 0.5 seconds, followed by a 2-second cast delay before the next skill.
The debuff persists for the target's lifetime, so a single successful cast remains useful for the whole fight.

 ==Overview==
-Signum Crucis burns a holy cross-mark onto all Undead and Demon monsters visible on screen, permanently reducing their physical and magical defence. It is a quest skill obtained through the Acolyte quest line and is extremely valuable before engaging large groups of Undead or Demon enemies.
+Signum Crucis is a quest skill, learned by completing a quest rather than by spending skill points. It marks Undead-element and Demon-race enemies across the screen and weakens their defenses, making them far easier to destroy.
 ==Mechanics==
-The debuff targets all enemies within a 31×31 cell radius (splash area 15) that are of Undead or Demon race. The application is not guaranteed and depends on the relative levels of the caster and target.
+When cast, the skill attempts to affect every Undead-element and Demon-race enemy on screen. Each affected target has its physical defense lowered by 25% and its magic defense lowered by 25%. The effect lasts until the target dies. It does not affect players.
-===Application chance===
+Whether each target is successfully marked is determined individually by a success chance based on the level difference between the caster and the target.
-: Success rate = 25 + (CasterBaseLv − TargetBaseLv) %
-Note: the base value at level 1 of this skill is 25, giving a floor chance plus the level difference modifier.
+===Formula===
+Success chance = 50 + caster's Base Level − target's Base Level (in %)
-===DEF reduction===
-: Physical DEF: −25%
-: Magic DEF: −25%

-* This is a quest skill and must be unlocked through a quest.
+* Casting takes 0.5 seconds, followed by a 2-second cast delay before the next skill.
-* Signum Crucis does not affect players.
+* The debuff persists for the target's lifetime, so a single successful cast remains useful for the whole fight.
