MP Absorb

Percentage of your damage that can potentially become MP recovery. Has no effect without Max MP Steal Per Hit.

Two-Step Process:

1. MP Absorb: Calculates potential MP recovery from damage dealt
2. Max MP Steal Per Hit: Caps the actual MP recovery received (REQUIRED for any recovery)

Key Difference from HP Absorb: MP steal only works on one target maximum per attack, even with AoE skills.

Practical Examples

Scenario: 5% MP Absorb, 50 Max MP Steal Per Hit

• Hit for 1,000 damage: Potential recovery = 1,000 × 5% = 50 MP
• Actual recovery: 50 MP (not limited by Max MP Steal)

Scenario: 5% MP Absorb, 20 Max MP Steal Per Hit

• Hit for 1,000 damage: Potential recovery = 1,000 × 5% = 50 MP
• Actual recovery: 20 MP (not enough MP steal per hit for maximum recovery)
