Light Blade

The idea behind Light Blade is the invocation and enchantment to a sword of light-elemental magical energy, which is a collection of all the elements merged into one, using up a tremendous amount of MP energy while coating the blade with the potential to sharply reduce the HP on anyone it strikes. The damage aura around the blade cause no secondary effects on those it strikes, but it does reject all elemental resistances that would be imposed by any special or modified dress spheres, while the aura itself enhances the kinetic force of each swing by a factor of 5.7.

Predecessor Spells: Collection of all other Elemental Infusion protocols
Evolutionary Forms: None

Effect

Attack Form: Elemental Infusion
Attack Type: Light Elemental Enchantment Effect + Light Elemental Magical Damage
Glyphring: Generation Only

Side/Secondary Effects

Severe stamina drain.

Manifestation

Unlike other damaging auras, the light aura retains a pure white coloration that is incredibly bright to the eyes. The heat that radiates from this light can be felt by the wielder. But due to the multi-elemental factor involved with the damage per strike, the person taking the damage will feel a strong drain in their stamina overall, while the amplified force per hit makes any blocking attempts impossible to handle. Each impact against a solid object generates a cool whoosing-gauss burst sound.
