Earth Spike drives jagged spikes of earth up beneath a single enemy for Earth magic damage, raising one spike for every level of the skill.
Overview
Earth Spike gives the Mage an Earth-element single-target option that scales hard per level. It is most effective against Wind- and Water-element enemies and rounds out the elemental coverage of the bolt trio. Each spike strikes hard, so even at low levels the per-hit damage is high.
Mechanics
The skill drives up one spike per skill level. For players each spike deals 125% of MATK; the per-level extra hits make the total damage scale steeply.
Damage formula (players): Damage = 125 × SkillLv (% of MATK), delivered as SkillLv hits of 125% each.
So Lv 1 is a single 125% hit, rising to five 125% hits (625% total) at Lv 5.

| 5 | 5 | 125 | 625 | 2.5 | 20 |

- The 125% per-hit boost applies to players; monster-cast Earth Spike deals only the base 100% per hit.
