Notes

  • If both Xibar and Yavash are in the sky, the minimum amount of mana is reduced to 3.
  • Produces a stun whose length scales up with the amount the caster won the contest by. It will also cause a target to stop advancing.
  • Per Armifer, "The redesigned offensive function of Dazzle is meant to fill a few niches in the Moon Mage spellbook. First, Dazzle will still be an easier, more mana efficient and user-friendly spell than Mental Blast. Dazzle cannot be turned back on its caster and Moon Mages will still be able to cap Dazzle significantly faster than Mental Blast. The effect of Dazzle is substantially weaker than Mental Blast, but for a long stretch of the Moon Mage's career it will be a more reliable disabler. Second, it uses a wholly different contest than the other Moon Mage disablers. This will allow Moon Mages more finesse in situations where contesting Will versus Will is undesirable, such as if you want to keep Shear up, or your opponent is an Elothean with a transparent skull. Finally, Dazzle will produce a pure stun regardless of your success, assuming you succeed at all. Higher end Moon Mages may find this desirable over Mental Blast's more potent yet unreliable unconsciousness for training purposes."
  • Is used in enchanting to activate sigils.
