Notes#
- The armor-ignore flag is applied in BaseWeapon; the ability itself consumes mana on the hit. In the active ML damage path, player-versus-player armor-ignore damage is capped at 35 before later damage processing.
- Base mana is reduced by the shared ability skill-total discount and Lower Mana Cost rules; a second paid ability within the three-second cooldown costs double.
