Usage Notes
Warning: The Description is wrong, because it can become any elite skill and not just an elite spell.

Using This Skill effectively requires some group coordinating. Also, other ally must be alive and in range.

Elite Spells (not all skills) to combine with Arcane Mimicry sorted by best to worst:


 * 1) Grenth's Balance because its an unlinked spell with a long recharge time, which doesn't matter here.
 * 2) Martyr because its an unlinked cheap Spell.
 * 3) Energy Surge because it does not need much Domination Magic to be effective. (~7)
 * 4) Energy Drain because it does not need much Inspiration Magic to be effective. (~7)
 * 5) Fevered Dreams because its linked to Illusion Magic. (~11 is most effective)
 * 6) Power Block because its linked to Domination Magic just like Energy Surge and it has a long recharge time. (~13 is most effective)
 * 7) Ward Against Harm because it doesnt need much Water Magic to be effective. (~6)
 * 8) Water Trident is most effective with ~15 Water Magic but runs just fine with ~5 and Ward Against Harm. And it can be cast 3 times before Arcane Mimicry ends. "Hunt down the runners!"
 * 9) Offering of Blood because it doesn't need much Blood Magic to be most effective (~7) and it can be cast twice before Arcane Mimicry ends.
 * 10) Amity because it does not need much Protection Prayers to be most effective (~8) and it has a long recharge time.
 * 11) Restore Condition is most effective with ~14 Protection Prayers, but runs just fine with ~8 and Amity or Martyr.
