Homing Soulmass

In-Game Description

General Information

MagAdj Modifier	Uses	Duration	Dex Reduction	Stats Needed	Slot Cost	NPC Trainer	Training Cost

• Will not target enemies until they are approximately 10 units away from the player, or while the player is facing away or in some specific animations.

• The activation range can be reduced if the targeted enemy has a stealth boost Status effect which makes the enemy harder to see. (Such as the Ring of fog or casting Hidden body.)

• Shares casting animation with multiple spells, these being: Soul Arrow, Great Soul Arrow, Homing Soulmass, Homing Crystal Soulmass, Soul Spear, Crystal Soul Spear, Aural Decoy, Dark Bead.

• Like all homing spells, when playing with other players, the firing behavior is calculated on each machine separately, though the actual hit only matters on the side of the person casting them. Differences in relative rotation, position or animation can lead to "desync", where some players will see orbs firing, without them firing on the caster's screen, leading to them appearing to deal no damage, or not seeing orbs firing when they do deal damage.

• Like all homing spells, it is possible online to "precast" this spell before another player enters your world. Casting a spell before the player loads in will not load the already active spell, leading to invisible orbs.

• Depending on the caster's intelligence stat, they will be able to shoot between two to five soulmasses. This following table shows how many intelligence level are needed for each additional soulmass.
