How does Dance A.K.A Paintjob legendary class [The Imagination Archmage Painter] works?
This classes posses special mechanic called "Magic Paint" where it can target basic elemental and advance classes, such as: Fire, water, wind, earth, sand, mist, thunder, ice, plant, lava as well as both light and darkness.
Poison isn't included.
This class can only target the basic type of classes as well as their advance version, so nothing like [Fire Dragon Mage] or [Earth Shattering Mage] kind of classes can be used nor classes like [Metal Mage].
[Fire Mage] -> [High Fire Mage] -> [Arch Fire Mage] – These kind of classes can be used as the paints.
An classes that also are combined versions of the classes, such as the [Elemental Primal Mage] that is combination of water, wind, earth and fire elements can be used to boost the performance of the painting.
Now, what exactly is the "Magic Paint" process?
Simple put it is an sacrifices process.
The mage class will be sealed and the user will be granted and corresponding "color" to said element, such as [FIRE = RED] kind of deal.
The stronger classes are sacrificed, the stronger the paint of the corresponding element shall be.
The sealed class will have most of their skills sealed, meaning that they will not be available to use at all, with expectation of some passive skills.
By using the paint, Dance can draw many different forms of drawings spells, but how do they work exactly?
Simple put, she needs to create the said drawings beforehand.
In other words, she is able to create her own spell type skills from the scratch.
However, there are some catches.
She can only use one combination of the elements for one specific spell and the power of the drawings depends on the settings, just as mana consumption and casting time that can be also set beforehand.
Her painting skills are divided into multiple tiers.
"O Paint!"
"Free Drawing!"
"New Drawing!"
"Masterpiece Art!"
Each tier of the skill has the fallowing differences.
The "O Paint" is the first tier of the painting magic, allowing only 1 color in the painting.
The second tier "Free Drawing!" is the second tier, which allows the user to use 2 different paints combination.
The third "New Drawing!" is third tier and allows 3 colors.
While the "Masterpiece Art!" is the fourth tier that allows usage of 4 different colors.
The higher the tier, the more power the created spell will have.
However, there are few problems.
-The first problem is obvious the combination problem. The user cannot have 2 fire/water combinations spells.
-The second problem is the cooldown. Each paint spell has extremely long cooldown time and the higher the tier of the spell is, the longer cooldown will get.
-Third problem is mana consumption. The painting magic consume high amounts of MP and to make matters worse, the difference between using different tiers is extremely noticeable.
Example:
Tier 1 uses 10 mana.
Tier 2 uses 25 mana.
Tier 3 uses 50 mana.
Tier 4 uses 100 mana.
-Fourth problem with the class is an special equipment reequipment. Dance needs to use "brush" type item in order to cast her painting skills, forcing her to significantly reduce what items she wants to use.
-And fifth, the sealing of the classes that are required to operate this legendary class.
Those are the five main downsides of the Dance legendary class.
It posses extremely deadly power, but not only does it seals many differences classes in order to feed the said legendary class, but it also has an huge downsides of having extremely high mana consumption.
There is also the side effect when it comes down to the tier 4.
Unlike other tiers that can have free combinations of the elements and can have countless combinations ready to go, the tier 4 only allows the user to have up 5 combinations at the time.
Not only that, but when the tier 4 is used, the user will be inflicted with [Artist Exhaustion], with prevents the user from using tier 3 painting spells for the specific amount of time.
Now for the upsides.
-Each tier posses an freedom of creating their own spells that can be each given an purpose and form based on the user desires and imagination.
-Each tier possess way more power depending on the tier.
Example.
Tier 1 uses 10 power.
Tier 2 uses 25 power.
Tier 3 uses 50 power.
Tier 4 uses 100 power.
And this is all.
