[Neus]

[smcf=body]New Mage Skills

• Whispering Cant - Passive. Allows you to use the simple spells offered by the Mage base class even while you are Silenced, but increases their FP cost by 50% while under that effect.
  
• Fire Fairy - A fairy made of fire floats near yourself or target ally, increasing their STR. After each movement step, they will also destroy all Ice Sheets within 1 Range (up to Rank*2 Ice Sheets). Also grants a special skill called Fairy Fly that uses up the buff to destroy a circle of Ice Sheets up to 6 Range away.

• Relent Gale - An invisible wind that follows yourself or target ally, increasing their CEL. In addition, knockback/pull effects that put enemies within 1 Range of you (whether it's you or them), it will suddenly push back, knocking back all enemies within 1 Range 2 times, and knock them down (once). Also grants a special skill called Quick Gale that uses up the buff to push nearby enemies away.
  
• Static Air - Charges the air around yourself or target ally, increasing their LUC. In addition, it will deal Lightning damage equal to Rank*5 when you evade an enemy attack (once). Also grants a special skill called Static Excel that uses up the buff to quickly activate Charge Weapon.

New Donation Items

• Golden Bonesaw; 200 Asagorians. Infinite use bonesaw item.
  
• Golden Bucket; 200 Asagorians. Infinite use bucket for watering plants.

Excel Crash

A new system that lets you use weapon charges for certain spells to enhance them. Requirements are as follows;
[list=][*]1) The spell must have the Excel Crash icon in its skill board description. (Similar to Elemental Impact. Unlike EI, you can click the Excel Crash icon to see what the effects are.)
[*]2) You must have at least 1 level of Weapon Charge.
[*]3) The casting tool must be capable of using weapon charges. (IE, Excelgraph, Burst Claw, etc.)[/list]

When you cast the spell, the weapon charges will be expended and activate all applicable effects; IE, if you consume Weapon Charge LV2, you will get both the LV1 and LV2 effects. By default, the effects you get follow this pattern:

LV1 - Ignores Evasion.
LV2 - Spell specific benefit.
LV3 - +25% Damage Boost.

The following is a list of spells which support Excel Crash in this version, as well as the LV2 effect. More will be added in future updates.

• Fir - +3 Range. Pierces enemies. Projectile hitbox and size increased.
  
• Miu - +3 Range. Projectile hitbox and size increased.
  
• Isendo - Magnetize pull effect strengthened by 3. Size increased by 1. Enemies who take the close bonus damage are knocked Airborne.
  
• Vyd - Hit pattern changed to a 1 Range Circle.
  
• Rye - Hit pattern changed to a 2 Range Circle.

Walking Monster AI Behavior Changes

• Movement is faster. No longer has random delays when stepping.
  
• Reaction is faster if you walk into their field of vision.
  
• Optimized some dungeon and vision checks. (Not very draining, but moreso than I liked.)

Walking Monster AI Additions
The following only applies to Argentyle Cavern snakeman enemies currently. Please provide feedback on their performance; if positive, it will be transferred to other walking enemies, and more AI patrol types may be added.
2 new patrol modes: Rigid Wander and Guard.

• Rigid Wander mode enemies will want to walk in certain directions longer. Snakeman Sniper uses this behavior.
  
• Guard mode enemies will not move from their location until alerted, but will turn every so often. Snakeman Knight uses this behavior.
  
• Snakeman Mage will use the old behavior (just for comparison).
