Bought New Level 1 CA:
-460 Exp ([300 + 100 for 1 level 1 CA known] + 15% extra cost)
Basic Magical Surge
Description: Arc’s Magical prowess has been developed to the point he emanates visible magical energy which forms an inclined ring around his body. This magical energy is seen as a faint blue and glowing mist. Arc can tap to this magical energy and cast spells without exhausting his own mana reserves. The surge of magic disappears whenever used and reappears after a while.
Damage: None.
Additional Effects: Arc casts a level 1 White or Black Magic spell he knows for 0 mp, this ability then cannot be used again for three of Arc's posts after being used. This ability can only be used to a maximum of three times per battle.
MP cost: 40
Bought New Level 2 CA:
-690 Exp ([600 + 0 for 0 level 2 CAs known] + 15% extra cost)
Advanced Magical Surge (Upgraded from Basic Magical Surge)
Description: The Magical Surge which envelopes Arc has developed a new stronger ring. The new mist ring has a different inclination angle than the lesser one and seems a little bigger. The new magical energy ring can be consumed for casting stronger Magic without exhausting Arc’s mana reserves.
Damage: None
Additional Effects: Arc casts a level 2 White or Black Magic spell he knows for 0 mp, this ability then cannot be used again for three of Arc's posts after being used. This ability can only be used to a maximum of three times per battle.
MP cost: 110
Bought New Level 2 CA:
-920 Exp ([600 + 200 for 1 level 2 CA known] + 15% extra cost)
Solar Shroud (Upgraded from Luminescent Shroud)
Description: Further development of the original Luminescent Shroud has led Arc to create a superior version of the former, the soothing heat it emanates greatly empowers Arc's magical recovery. Visibly it now creates a yellowish heat emanating light around Arc's body.
Damage: None.
Additional Effects: The shroud increases Arc’s Magic score by 20%, reduces all incoming magic damage by 20%, and restores Arc's mp by 10% at the end of each turn. The shroud lasts for 5 turns after activation.This CA replaces and is replaced by Luminescent Shroud whenever either is activated.
Mp cost: Leave Blank
Remaining Exp: 361

changed the effect of the third CA to make it +40% to magic score... still too powerful?
and btw for the first two I noticed I made it read as if using the skill itself takes an action, which would make it kind of lame as I would need a whole turn to activate the CA and then cast the reduced cost magic. Can I make it so I can use the CA and cast the spell on the same action? They both have a long cooldown after all.

Sure, also yes. Still too powerful. My advise. Drop the increase magic damage thing entirely atm.Think of another effect

Modified my last CA again. Now it is a direct improvement from its level 1 version, only changing the fact it now regens mp and lasts for 5 turns instead of 3. As stated, it cannot be stacked with its last version. Left mp cost blank.

Main issue I have with this ability is that it deals high amounts of damage, at what is effectively 0 mp cost; because no matter what I set the mp cost to, you restore 60% of your max mp immediately afterwards. I could set a ridiculously high mp cost, sure... but high mp costs are supposed to prevent people from relying too heavily on CAs; limit their usage... but with you restoring 60% max MP immediately afterwards, that sorta underminds that. Giving you a high mp cost on this would only mean you'd have to wait until you had a higher max mp before using it... and once you reached that point, it wouldn't limit the ability hardly at all.
I dunno if I'm making myself very clear, so here's an example. Say, later on, your mp is 10,000 (technically, it can go to ten times that, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll leave it at this). And say, I set the mp cost for this ability really really high, like 6000. Well, with 10,000 max, and 60% return every time you use this, you could use this ability literally every single turn. Well, every other turn, because you'd have to cast Solar first, but still, that's a tad over powered. So, for the moment, the ability is denied.
Suggestions:
A) Remove the damage entirely, and make the ability a simple mp restoring ability. (Even then, I would ask for more limitations on the ability, like only making it usable once or twice a battle, though you could increase the mp recharge to even 100% if you wanted.)
B) Remove the mp recharge, and make the ability a simple damage dealing ability. (In this case, you wouldn't need an additional limiters, as the mp costs would be enough to keep you from spamming this ability on people).
C) You could also have the shroud drain you of power. Ordinarily (at level 2), it boosts your magic, well, you could say that in weaponizing the shroud, it saps your power temporarily, making it sorta the opposite of the shroud. Why would you willingly take a hit to your stats? Well, depending on how it's done, it could be enough to wave the mp costs of the ability entirely, allowing you to use your mp on other abilities.
D) Just tweak the numbers. By a lot. That's the simple solution, anyway.
All of these are just suggestions, it is ultimately your character, and your ideas that matter here.

accepted and updated. Because of the 100% mp recharge, there's no point in giving it an mp cost.
