Soul Guard skill

Soul Guard is an active, supportable skill (CONT / OP_TOGGLE) targeting self (TARGET_SELF). A toggle skill that continuously increases physical defense by consuming MP over time; the mechanics are as follows: for: op=add to stat=pDef according to the #def table, while simultaneously applying the ManaDamOverTime effect, consuming MP every 3 seconds according to the #mdot table.
 
Effect by levels: pDef: +293.3 → +653.1 (table #def). MP consumption: mpInitialConsume 8 → 14 (table #mpInitialConsume), periodic consumption: 15 → 30 MP every 3 sec. (table #mdot).
 
Parameters: A toggle skill (manually toggled on/off), lasts indefinitely as long as MP is present (count = ∞), with no fixed duration. Provides a significant boost to physical defense at the cost of constant mana consumption, making it effective for tanking and survivability in protracted fights.
 
Sharpening: none.
