Maelstrom

The sea itself turns. Everyone within twelve tiles — your own side included — is dragged a step toward you and stunned

physical (PA x Brave x facing, mitigated by DEF)

Pull

1 tile toward the caster — stopped by a wall, a body, or a rise of more than one step. Any drop is allowed: a fall of 2 or more steps costs 5 HP per step (10 off a 2-step ledge) and is never lethal.

Element

Whatever your weapon carries Authored water, but a physical hit takes its element from the equipped weapon — so this one never applies.

Applies

Stun — 1 turn

There is no single accuracy number for this ability. It inherits whichever weapon the unit rolled that battle — anywhere from 80% for an axe to 100% for a knife or ninja blade — and the target's evasion is then subtracted, reduced by half if you strike from the side and to nothing if you strike from behind.

Rolling it

Nothing is guaranteed. At the start of each battle a unit's primary job rolls every ability it knows, one at a time.

As your primary job

10%

As a sub-job draw

1% of the bucket

Roughly one unit in 150 skips the roll entirely and fields its whole catalogue. If a unit rolls nothing at all, it is granted its cheapest ability rather than being sent out empty-handed.
