Astral Reave

• This is an active skill that attacks one enemy at a distance (within 10m at Dan 3).

Nova Blast

• This is an active skill that attacks enemies within a 6m radius at Dan 3.

Stellar Surge

• This is a charging active skill that attacks enemies within a rectangular area with a distance of 14m and a width of 4m at Dan 3.
• While charging, the area where you can deal 100% damage within the maximum distance increases, and beyond this area, the damage decreases with distance.
• This attack strikes all enemies in a straight line. The longer the skill's hotkey is held, the greater distance it can cover before its full damage begins to fall off. Enemies beyond that range will still be hit, though for reduced damage.

Meridian Sweep

• This is an active skill that moves to a desired location within a 10.5m distance based on Dan 3 and attacks enemies up to 3 times.
