Flavor Text

A useful little ability originating with the ghrah, Aetheric Mimicry allows the mage to match his aetherial wavelength to that of another person, granting the same benefits as their hard-won combat training.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Ghrah Luminary will summon a monster called "Corruption". Killing the corruption is enough to obtain Aetheric Mimicry. If running unsynced, players can keep killing the adds until they learn the spell. This method is arguably faster and simpler than needing to form a party to run the dungeon synced.
- The "Corruption" trash mobs at the beginning of the dungeon do not teach the spell.

Other Tips

After acquiring this, it's strongly recommended to be mimicking at least DPS unless a fight calls for a different mimic.
The impacted spells for Tank are:
- Cactguard (5% damage reduction becomes 15% damage reduction)
- Devour (duration from 15s to 70s)
- Chelonian Gate (Divine Cataract potency increased from 500 to 1,000)
- Dragon Force (20% damage reduction becomes 40% damage reduction).
The impacted spell for DPS is:
- Matra Magic (potency per hit increased from 50 to 100).
The impacted spells for Healer are:
- Pom Cure (cure potency from 100 to 500)
- Gobskin (shield potency from 100 to 250)
- Exuviation (cure potency from 50 to 300)
- Stotram (restores HP instead of dealing damage)
- Angel's Snack (adds 200 potency regen for 15s).
Aetheric Mimicry: Tank increases physical defense by approximately 145% and magical defense by 40%.
