Sorcerer — skills, stigmas and weapons

Sorcerer: MP restoration and charge stages

When reading Sorcerer skills, distinguish MP restoration, skill-use conditions and learning costs. Russian descriptions label mana as ОМ; English descriptions use MP. Here are three active skills from the Global snapshot and a rank-checking exercise for the planner.

Restoring 100 MP and the Fire Mark condition

Flame Arrow deals damage to a target within 20 m and restores 100 MP. Blaze also lists 100 MP restoration, but its target must be within 20 m and afflicted with Fire Mark. Selecting a rank or meeting a character-level requirement does not confirm that the mark is present.

The passive skill Fire Mark describes applying the mark on landing a Fire attack. The mark’s duration, extra-damage chance and cooldown contain variable values shown as “…”; check their values in the game. This is a separate passive skill card; it is not included in the three-active-skill exercise below.

The 100 MP figure is the restoration amount in the description, not a net MP gain per use or a restoration rate. Those calculations need verified consumption, timing and actual combat conditions. A zero MP field in a rank’s learning record is not verified MP consumption and does not establish a free cast. The planner calculates learning costs, not combat MP balance.

A charge stage is different from a skill rank

Hellfire selects a target within 20 m and damages up to four enemies within 4 m of that target. Its description lists a maximum of 3 charge stages and 20–35 Stagger Gauge Damage. Rank 2 in the example below is an acquisition rank; it does not mean the second charge stage.

This description does not establish each stage’s charge time or map each stage to a specific value within 20–35. HP damage also contains variable values shown as “…”. The text alone cannot determine DPS or the optimal charge release. Open the skill card for source formulas and check its behavior in the game.

Planner example: level 14

Full setup cost: 11 mastery points; stigma shards: 0; superior stigmas: 0. The total includes every rank through the selected ranks and does not subtract ranks already learned. These are the learning costs of three active skills, not MP consumption.

1. At level 13, only rank 2 Hellfire shows a warning: it needs level 14. The other two selected ranks already meet their character-level requirements.
2. At level 14, this warning clears. The planner does not check Fire Mark, charge stages or MP balance; compatibility of the full combat build remains unknown.

This exercise helps with catalog reading and requirement checks; it is not a tested combat rotation. Prepared with AI assistance from the interface and the Global snapshot identified above. Use separate regional records for TW. How ranks and costs are checked →
