Does anyone know what lvl the skills are for the PsychoWand when it uses its special skill?

Check the Item Database. I'm not even sure that the Psycho Wand's Special is a spell, but I should check (I'm trying to find it too, heh heh)

Whoa, I just checked it out. It Says "Casts Technique," What does that mean? That, and it says that it takes HP. Does it do it gradually, or is it every time that you use a tech?

The psychowand is my primary weapon. I usually don't use its special ability, as I mainly use it to conserve TP due to the fact that I am support and I deal damage with techs too. If I didn't use it, I'd be guzzling trifluids like cans of mountain dew. But about the special ability...I'm not totally sure. I do know that it's not nearly as powerful as my actual techs. But it definitely is useful. Heck, I'll go check on that now and try to figure it out.

Thanks for the help! So, can you tell us about the HP drain deal, too?

I believe the Psycho Wand works like this:
Whenever you cast a tech, it cuts the TP cost in half, but takes the full equivalent of HP away. (So if you cast Gifoie for 24 TP normally, it costs 12 TP and you lose 24 HP)

The special randomly casts low-moderate Level Foie, Zonde, or Barta.

If I'm wrong, please correct me. Gently! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

I doubt that, because if that were true, forces would hate it. It just wouldn't be worth it. I think that it's more like the Psycho Wand Slowly drains HP similar to the way that the Soul Eater does.

Nope, I've seen FOs with the Psycho Wand. They have to cast Resta every once in a while to keep their HP up. But hey, you get half TP on the Resta, too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Yes, I do have to cast resta a whole heck of a lot to make sure I don't end up dying by accident. But yes, it takes half the TP cost while taking the full TP cost from your HP at the same time. There is no negative HP stroll on you while using this thing. But then again, if you use a Luminous Field, you will have negative HP stroll...nevermind. I can't give an exact level of the random techs cast from the special attack. But I know it looks like mid-level techs coming out. The upper-level Zonde usually has more than one lightning bolt. This Zonde does not. The high level barta has chunks of ice coming off of the traveling stream. And the high level Foie has extreme heat marks all around it causing the ball to look fuzzy. The techs I estimate to be around lv 15-20 roughly.

if u use dark bridge it also takes away only half ur tp, and half ur hp, however psycho wand boosts ur hard attacks (rabarta, rafoie, razonde, grants, megid), and makes it easier 2 hit with megid, so the full hp loss is worth it 2 me, i slapped 4 god/hp's on my force, lol

Actually, the Dark Bridge boosts Grants and Megid, and Megid peirces through enemies, as well as cutting TP usage in half, and taking the other half from your HP. It slowly drains your HP as well (think Soul Eater) and randomly casts status probs on you. If that was what you meant, well...http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

The Psycho Wand does NOT boost Granst and Megid. The Dark Bridge does boost Grants and Megid. I never heard of the Dark Bridge draining HP while you walk/stand without casting a tech before.

I don't seem to remember saying the Psycho Wand boosts Grants/Megid. Of course, you might not have been talking to me, in particular...>.>

And I may be incorrect about the HPDrain (think Soul Eater) of the Dark Bridge, I'm just saying what I saw in the item page for it.

I was referring to what TooSmart said about that (I quoted both since I had things to say about both).
