Cold Bolt conjures icy lances that pierce a single enemy for Water magic damage, firing one bolt for every level of the skill.
Overview
Cold Bolt is the Mage's foundational Water-element single-target attack. It is most effective against Fire- and Earth-element enemies, and is the prerequisite for Frost Diver. Because the damage is split into one bolt per skill level, higher levels deliver more hits and scale total output upward.
Mechanics
The skill strikes once per skill level, with each individual bolt dealing 100% of MATK. Cast time and after-cast delay both increase with level, so the highest levels are slower to fire even though they deal the most total damage.
Damage formula: Damage = 100 × SkillLv (% of MATK), delivered as SkillLv separate hits of 100% each.
So at Lv 1 it is a single 100% hit, rising to ten 100% hits (1000% total) at Lv 10.
Leveling
| Level | Hits | Total damage (% MATK) | Cast time (sec) | SP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 100 | 0.5 | 12 |
| 3 | 3 | 300 | 1.5 | 16 |
| 5 | 5 | 500 | 2.5 | 20 |
| 7 | 7 | 700 | 3.5 | 24 |
| 10 | 10 | 1000 | 5.0 | 30 |

- Element pairs naturally with the Mage's other two bolts (Fire and Lightning) to cover all enemy weaknesses.
