This one isn't that long this time. No need to brace yourselves.
◇ [Naraka Gandharva] — Fourth Stage derivation of [Multiple Weapon Aptitude].
The final stage of the weapon aptitude skill bearing the name of ' '. In addition to improved bonuses from its predecessor, [Gandharva (Arm of Omnipotence)], it has completely absorbed the authority of the integrated [Construction] skill, fixing it to the avatar as an 'Ability'.
・ 'Recall' — An inherent ability carved into the protagonist's avatar not as a 'Miracle (Skill)' but as a 'Supernatural Power'. Like previous quick-change systems, it allows for the free switching of equipment, but having been freed from the shackles of being a skill, it has lost its cooldown time. It is also immune to 'Skill Seal' type debuffs, such as the penalty from [Lightning Gale].
You'll probably find out what an Ability is eventually. I think. Probably.
◇ [Mistlurade] — Fourth Stage derivation of [Weapon Darts].
An auto-throw skill that has evolved from a one-handed machine gun to dual-wielded machine guns. The throwing effects are processed similarly to [Flip Thru Talk] in a straightforward evolution, but it has gained a massive upgrade in that its cooldown has been removed, allowing for free switching. However, unlike its predecessor which had unlimited ammo, a limit of 'One Hundred Shots' has been imposed, and exceeding this will prevent the effect from triggering even if activated. The ammo count recovers slowly over time, and also instantly reloads by the same number of hits whenever a thrown object hits its target. In other words, just hit your shots.
◇ [Lumina Raygust] — Third Stage derivation of [Gusty Limbs].
Grants the player the enhancement effect 'Destruct'. Defense, elemental resistances, and other stats are greatly improved from its predecessor, [Whirlwind], and it is now possible to convert 'distance traveled' and 'speed' accumulated while active into 'Wind Power' to enhance 'Release'. Furthermore, the skill's performance in both offense and defense improves according to the amount accumulated, but maintaining a fully charged state for a certain period will cause it to explode, resulting in death.
・ 'Destruct' — A special assault skill that 'Release' transforms into when fully charged. It can be used as a wide-range annihilation tool with enough power to blow away a forest, and if used in mid-air, it can be repurposed for immense propulsion.
◇ [Exchange Implode] — Second Stage derivation of [Exchange Voltate].
Its nature has changed significantly from its predecessor, becoming a pure active buff skill that grants the enhancement effect 'Catastrophe (White Maelstrom)' to a chosen weapon by fulfilling a 'Vow' set upon activation. The cooldown time is exactly thirty minutes.
・ 'Vow' — The 'activation condition the user imposes on themselves to activate the buff', with the strength of the enhancement determined by the difficulty. In this skill's case, the condition is 'Equip and generate an attack hitbox with all usable armaments in possession' and 'within how many seconds can this be achieved'. The protagonist's declaration of "Within five seconds" was the setting of the vow. In the main story, [An=Ru Galta (Hypothesis: The Wedge-Armor that Sings of the Royal Road)] and [Atiomart -Sakura=Memento-] were not used during the vow's fulfillment, but the former was unusable due to the backlash of 'Manifestation Release', and the latter is unusable when not transfigured, so they were excluded from the vow's conditions.
・ 'Catastrophe (White Maelstrom)' — Grants a chosen armament an extremely high attack power multiplier and a massive forced knockback effect. The effect's strength and duration are proportional to the vow's difficulty.
◇ [Starlight Magic Aptitude] — One of the special attributes in the magic aptitude tree.
A special attribute among special attributes, regarded as unique by many players because it is extremely rare and possesses several distinct characteristics. It has limitations such as 'only one spell can be learned per person' and 'the incantation difficulty is extremely high (immobile & generally super long and fast-talking is impossible)'. Additionally, it is a double-edged sword of an attribute, as every spell generally comes with a significant 'cost'.
◇ [Lightning Gale] — A unique spell of Starlight Magic Aptitude.
A true one-off spell awakened by the protagonist. Within the category of Starlight Magic, it's a popular 'Compound-Attribute Magic', and it is the only grand magic belonging to the 'Body Enhancement' category, which currently has no mid-tier or higher spells in Arcadia. While active, the player's avatar becomes a 'Magic Body', nullifying physical attacks. Maximum duration is thirty seconds.
・ 'Azure Thunder's Blessing' — Grants the avatar the properties of 'Thunder'. The final speed of absolutely every physical action is doubled, and by controlling one's thoughts, the user can drop their lightning-transformed body onto set coordinates, effectively granting complete mid-air maneuverability. Additionally, it imbues the body and all equipped armaments with lightning. Upon contact, an extremely high-power magic attack with resistance-piercing effects is automatically generated. Since it triggers on contact with anything without exception, skinship with allies is absolutely forbidden.
・ 'Verdant Wind's Blessing' — Grants the avatar the properties of 'Wind'. It nullifies all bad statuses and comes with an auto-defense function that brushes off chip damage that is less than 1/10th of total HP. Furthermore, while not infinite, it grants a levitation ability, allowing for a certain period of mid-air maneuverability. Additionally, it imbues the body and all equipped armaments with wind. Upon contact, an extremely high-power area-of-effect magic attack is automatically generated. This was not depicted in the main story and the video-watchers didn't notice it, but it was actually rampaging with incredible force. The cherry blossom storm and all that was because of this.
・ 'Endless Tempest' — A forced-release final form that consumes all remaining active time of [Lightning Gale] to activate. It enhances the power of both Azure and Verdant blessings according to the seconds consumed and grants the avatar the effect of 'doubling the speed of the final step'. After activation, [Lightning Gale] is dispelled. Upon effect conclusion, acquires the 'Soul Enfeeblement State'. Skill usage is sealed for a number of days equal to the seconds it was active.
◇ [Shadow Leaf] — Second Stage derivation of [Floating Leaf].
It didn't really get to do much, did it.........
◇ [Eyes Oculus] — Second Stage derivation of [Fatal Leak].
In addition to the enemy attack prediction visualization of its predecessor, it gains a thought acceleration ability with adjustable multipliers. The range is from 1.1x to 10x, with sustained MP consumption increasing proportionally to the multiplier. At around 2x, it can be maintained for nearly a minute with his visible stats, but at max multiplier, it lasts five seconds at most. If the 'right eye's thought acceleration' and 'left eye's attack prediction' are used together, the poor MP efficiency is doubled.
・ 'Eyes (Golden Eye)' — The right eye of thought acceleration.
・ 'Oculus (Silver Eye)' — The left eye of attack prediction.
While it is a genuinely broken skill, it's fundamentally different from commonly known thought acceleration skills. Normal thought acceleration doesn't guzzle MP like this, so it's likely useless for conventional players due to its terrible efficiency. Furthermore, even if you get 10x thought speed, your body absolutely can't keep up, so it's a wasted treasure—eh? [Jack of all Trades]? He's a ranker, you didn't think Maru-kun was normal, did you?
◇ [White Dragon's Blessing] — Second Stage derivation of [Embodied Protection].
I'm watching over you.
◇ [Goma Soten] — Fourth Stage derivation of Acrobatics.
A DEX-boosting skill where the muscle-bound Acrobatics skill fell further into magic. Automatically activates when body movement speed exceeds a certain value, adding STR to the DEX value that assists AGI. Additionally, it constantly adds 1/5 of the MID stat to DEX.
A god-tier skill. Normally, light warriors who would benefit from this type of skill rarely build up such an absurd amount of MID, so the MID stat addition is usually just a minor bonus.
◇ [Reject Sentence]
It's not like it's a lawless skill that can freely rewrite the 'rules' set by the system, such as the details of armaments and skills.
Slicing a giant tree with the fists of [An=Ru Galta (Hypothesis: The Wedge-Armor that Sings of the Royal Road)].
Excluding oneself or allies (Sapphire) from the attack hitbox of [Ruby Rabbit Bullet].
It's capable of only minor 'pranks' like these. The reason the protagonist doesn't gleefully abuse this extremely convenient skill is, well, for a certain reason.
The cost of using this skill is the protagonist's
