One of the most exciting skills being added to Mabinogi this update will be Blaze! With the Blaze skill, players are able to use their mastery of Magic to create orbs of fire. Blaze works differently than other skills, so it can be tricky to master at first. With dedication and practice, however, Blaze can be one of the deadliest tricks in your arsenal.
Read on for our guide to using Blaze properly. This may come in handy with Erinn’s number one threat: Bears.
The bear’s attacking! What a naughty bear! What a perfect time to
practice Blaze, though! The first thing you need to do is ready your
wand. Blaze relies on have a trusty wand on hand. More than one
Mabinogian has tried to attack without a wand, and quickly been
defeated.
Now that you have your wand out, you need to charge Blaze using your
Mana. Hold down the skill button to do this. You can’t move while
charging, so plan ahead. This is not a skill that can be thrown out
without thought. Thankfully, the bear got distracted. What’s he looking
at? We’re not sure, but it must be fascinating.
Oh no! He noticed us! It’s rearing up to attack! Luckily for us, our
Blaze is charged and ready. Now to be a daredevil and let the bear get
close. Blaze is a close range move, so we need to lure the bear in.
Closer… closer… closer… and then…
Boom! The Blaze connects and fire explodes around the Bear. What a
shock! All the bear can say is “!!”. Note the extreme amount of damage
that Blaze does. All the planning was worth it. This single attack has
thrown the bear for a loop.
Note that this attack can knock an
enemy flat on its back. If the Blaze does, expect additional damage!
Blaze can’t be used carelessly; it drains Mana and takes time to charge.
Once you understand how to make it work to your advantage, however, the
damage it does to opponents can turn the entire battle to your favor.
The Awakening of Light transforms your
character, altering him or her briefly into something far greater. In
this form, your speed, strength, and even recovery will all soar. You
will have an inherent knowledge of the entire dungeon, including where
hidden artifacts are to be found.
From the moment that you
activate this ability, an opponent that previously
terrified you will be but an annoyance. Bring down dragons, rivals, and
the darkest parts of the shadow missions in this new form!

Behold the next Light skill: The Spear of
Light! Wield the strength of light in order to strike down your enemies.
This attack causes massive damage and throws the enemy flat on their
back.
Keep in mind that
the Light skills can be draining and should not used mindlessly. When
the time comes though, this is a technique that will utterly destroy
your greatest threats.
Fury of Light is the final skill of the Light
set. When surrounded and outnumbered, this is your greatest hope.
Several orbs of light emit from your body and cause massive damage to
your enemies. Lights move around you, dancing and exploding in the face
of your former threats.
Although Fury of Light should only be
used... sparingly, it should always be considered.
This move doesn’t change the tone of a battle; it ends it.
Look out for these skills and more with the newest update to Mabinogi, The Goddess of Light!
