Magic Skill Guide

Magic skills:
Hullo mysterious little wizard. When you decide to become a mage you made right choice. "Why is it?" you may ask. Well, theres a bit more things where mages are better but mainly due to their range of attack. As you may find out earlier - mage is based on INT stat. Same as for melees, building up your MATK at early levels of game is a significant matter cause availability of 1 hit kill mobs at almost fully rely on your damage. For that moment your pet is quite rookie to do assist you anyhow good (As it was said before SPD to outspeed mobs is easy to get with very simple and cheap SPD clothes which are easy to compound).
Now few words about why it's handy to be a mage: as you already know NSO has ability to move at battlefield, so it becomes quite significant to kill or seriously hurt your enemy before he can came closer to you and do the same. In common, mage skills has better AOE and range of attack but doing a tiny bit less MATK damage than melee with same ATK. But anyways it's useful to have good movement range too. Also having INT helps in either way, like resisting seal, being able to snatch more SP from foes with Soul Dodge skill, ability to pierce ligh wall with decent damage and even get some increament of seal rate by yourself.
Still it's good to have:

• Good HP (read as CON). Cause you have to sustain more damage on yourself even if you supposed to be at some distance from enemies, still reinforcements and ranged mobs attack can get you pretty fast.
  
• Keep your MATK at high since you performing less damage than melee.
  

Unlike melee there is some difference in MATK skills between Fire and Water element which made for god knows why (see Earth Flame / Electricity Molecule). In case of other skills, WATER element has same MATK skills with same AOE and range. Though with some changes in name, colors and visual effects.
Mages becomes pretty good ranged damager when their final skill (Hell Fire / Hell Freeze) is maxed.

All of them can be trained at same place where did you get it without additional battles.

Cracking Cannon:

Second skill of mages is Cracking Cannon. It has quite good square AOE but a weird range. Could be performed to bomb area at left or right only.

Meteorite [v1] / Avalanche [v1]:

Hell Fire / Hell Freeze:

Ultimate range damage skills of mages. They are summoning real hell power to deal a significant damage. To train it you have to reach LV70 and max out Meteorite [v2] / Avalanche [v2].
