Name: Arcanum

Class: Mage

Subclass: Tank

Weapon Name: Book of Secrets

Description: Arcanum is a deceptive duelist armed with a staff and a book detailing the ancient and forbidden knowledge of spellcraft. Arcanum specializes in defense buffs and AoE abilities that confuse or disorient opponents. While great with crowd control, Arcanum is fragile, and relies on his/her magical resources to provide proper defense.

[Passive] Thirst for Wisdom - Arcanum has a special bar called Knowledge. The Knowledge bar gives Arcanum a permanent defense increase ranging from 0 to 1, depending on the fullness of the bar. Any non defense-ignoring damage dealt to Arcanum decreases the Knowledge bar by half the amount of damage taken.

[E] Erudition - While toggled on, Erudition will cause Arcanum to read from the Book of Secrets. This will slowly deplete the Mana bar while filling up the Knowledge bar. Arcanum cannot use any other abilities when Erudition is enabled.

[Z] Conviction - Arcanum focuses his/her mana forwards to create a small disturbance. Any enemy inside its range is given a debuff that decreases their speed by 0.3 and damages their health by 5 points per second. Any enemies within 15 studs of the debuffed enemy will share an identical debuff that is spread out among (divided by) the amount of players affected. The debuff lasts 5 seconds, with 1 second added to the time for every 10 points in the Knowledge bar. Conviction costs 15 Mana and has a cooldown of 10 seconds.

[X] Mind Warp - Arcanum teleports behind the target enemy or ally, leaving a temporary clone in his/her place. The clone will take damage as if it were a normal player, but fade after a minimum of 5 seconds, with 1 second added to the time for every 20 points in the Knowledge bar. If the clone is killed, it will explode and deal great knockback and stun. Mind Warp costs 35 Mana and has a cooldown of 30 seconds.

[C] Perplex - Arcanum hits the bottom of his/her staff to the ground, creating a magical shockwave that deals great knockback. All affected enemies are confused with reversed movement controls (negative WalkSpeed) for 10 seconds. Perplex costs 30 Mana and 30 Knowledge, and has a cooldown of 45 seconds.

[V] Wrath of the Cosmos - Arcanum empties all his/her Mana and Knowledge. An AoE explosion deals great knockback and stun to all surroudning opponents, along with damage equal to 1/3rd the amount of Mana spent. All affected opponents suffer a 10 second speed and damage debuff of 0.1 per 20 points of Knowledge spent. Wrath of the Cosmos requires at least 50 Mana to use and has a cooldown of 90 seconds.
