Skill: Cursed Nemesis Mantle Skill Type: Active Skill Tier: 3 Attribute: Curse Effect: While this skill is active, it reflects any damage to the user back to the attacker as Curse-type damage. MP is consumed based on the damage reflected. Total reflected damage that is inflicted onto the hostile target is based on the skill user's [Curse Element] skill line.

Among the many nasty Curse-type skills out there, [Cursed Nemesis Mantle] is one of the worst to face.

While categorized as an Active-type skill, its effect could trick people into believing it is a Passive-type. When the user is attacked, if this skill is active, it will consume an amount of MP equal to the damage the user should have taken, and then inflict damage onto the attacker based on the negated damage.

However, how much of the negated damage that is reflected to the attacker isn't guaranteed. The skill user must also have a skill from the [Curse Element] line. Based on what Element skill they possess, the skill user can reflect anything from 1% to 150% of the damage they would have taken.

While it sounds like a dream-like skill, [Cursed Nemesis Mantle] has some drawbacks. While active, it can prevent certain other skills from being active as well. In addition, it will consume the MP needed to reflect the damage regardless of the user's will. Finally, the user has to be conscious of using the skill, so if they are distracted by something, [Cursed Nemesis Mantle] cannot save them from a surprise attack.

Garami's comment: Not that I have plans on working as a tank. Hey, maybe it's good that it wouldn't work for me after all.
