So one of the things that bothered me about playing mages is... it's difficult (or impossible) to make a mage that specializes entirely in one element without being hard-countered to no end (seriously, once someone knows you're a specialized mage, unless your element is Ice and you're also a Verglas, you're done). To make this a bit more doable, I propose the following skill be added to Mage:
Domain Mastery
Ranks: 5
Type: Passive (Main Class only)
The character has learned that focus is power, and has applied this to a single domain to take it to new levels. While equipped, any Mage or Mage promotion spell cast that shares the domain of the first spell in your skill pool will ignore (X * Y)% elemental resistance, where X is skill rank and Y is the number of offensive Mage or Mage promotion spells equipped that share that domain.
Rank 1: Ignores 1% elemental resistance per spell.
Rank 2: Ignores 2% elemental resistance per spell.
Rank 3: Ignores 3% elemental resistance per spell.
Rank 4: Ignores 4% elemental resistance per spell.
Rank 5: Ignores 5% elemental resistance per spell. Additionally, if all equipped spells share the same domain, they ignore the target's elemental absorption and immunity.
