Soul Drain is a passive skill that raises the High Wizard's maximum SP and restores SP whenever a targeted offensive spell lands the killing blow on an enemy.
Overview
Soul Drain rewards aggressive spellcasting by turning kills into fuel for more casting. It permanently increases the caster's maximum SP pool and, on top of that, refunds a burst of SP every time a single-target attack spell finishes off a monster. Because the refund scales with the slain enemy's level, it is most effective against tougher targets.
Mechanics
The skill provides two separate benefits that are always active once learned.
Maximum SP is increased by a percentage that grows with skill level:
Max SP bonus = 2 × SkillLv (percent)
When a targeted attack spell delivers the finishing blow to an enemy, the caster recovers SP based on that enemy's level:
SP recovered = Enemy Level × (95 + 15 × SkillLv) ÷ 100
The SP refund only triggers on directly targeted offensive spells. Ground-placed and self-cast spells do not benefit, and the killing hit must be a magic attack.
Leveling
| Level | Max SP bonus | SP recovered on kill |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2% | Enemy Level × 1.10 |
| 3 | 6% | Enemy Level × 1.40 |
| 5 | 10% | Enemy Level × 1.70 |
| 7 | 14% | Enemy Level × 2.00 |
| 10 | 20% | Enemy Level × 2.45 |
Notes
- The SP refund requires the spell to be aimed directly at a single enemy. Area spells placed on the ground do not qualify.
- The killing blow must come from a magic attack for the refund to apply.
- The maximum SP bonus is always in effect, independent of combat.
