While Dread Spikes is in effect, the caster drains up to 100% of the damage inflicted upon them by a melee attack from an enemy monster, depending on their Dark Magic Skill and the level of the enemy.
- Dread Spikes does not drain damage incurred from TP attacks.
- Amount drained is adjusted by an enemy's magic damage reduction modifiers.
- The HP absorbed will not generate enmity for the Dark Knight.
- Effect is reduced to 20% during Conflict.
Dread Spikes effect lasts one minute, or until the caster has drained up to half of their maximum HP.
The Dark Knight will still be KO'd if a single attack inflicts an amount of damage that exceeds their remaining HP.
