Mystic Knight Shield Counters

Mystic Knight Shield Counters (or "parrys") are offensive spells produced from specifically enchanted Magick Shields when a Perfect Block is performed. To activate the counter spell the core skill Reflect is also required.

Overview
Mystic Knight's, Magick Shields can be used to block incoming attacks just like common Shields, furthermore Perfect Blocks with the magick shield will produce reflective shockwave just as shields do. Once the Core Skill of Reflect is learned these blocks and perfect block now damage, in addition the the stagger or knockdown the blocks produced before.

With Reflect, and when enchanted with a counter, riposte or feint spell a perfect block now conjures a return offensive spell.

Advanced Uses
All of the counters can be repeated in sequence without breaking or interrupting function; for example, if the Mystic Knight is countering a spell that has a duration that lasts longer than the counter, repeating the counter can maintain the character's guard without letting any damage through. This requires precise timing.

The force from a Perfect Block will fire Great Cannon sigils, as will the elemental spells produced from a perfect blocked "parry" with the shield. This is particularly effective with a holy based riposte, as the slow moving orbs fire the cannon many many times.

Both lightning based and fire based "parrys" can strike foes at great distances, and thus are effective not only against bow users, and spellcasters, but also ballista.
