When you activate Magic Release, your overall cooldown of skills Lost Ark Gold (not Awakening or Movement) is reduced to 50%, Crit rate chance is increased by 25%, and crit damage is increased by 50% during Magic Release phase.

Magic Release is no longer usable. Instead, this Engraving provides an overall damage buff of 16% and reduces all cooldowns by 10%

These two Engravings divide the potential playstyles almost right down the middle.

First, the Ignition playstyle focuses on dealing huge burst damage with lots of cooldown reduction. This playstyle relies heavily on hitting your damage, as other damage is much lower outside your burst zone. Loads of fun, but much harder to actually hit consistent damage, even if the numbers are massive. Secondly, the Reflux playstyle is basically anti-burst. You can't even use Magic release. This playstyle provides more consistent, sustained damage, with a shorter burst window. Considered easier to play. Other recommended Engravings for the Sorceress include: All-Out Attack, Hit Master, and Precise Dagger. Best Sorceress Skills

Here we take a look at a sample endgame Sorceress build for around 250 points, essentially the skill point level you'll be when you hit T1 content past level 50. For the purposes of this guide, we've put together an overview of an Ignition build (high burst damage abilities) as it's a powerful build with a lot of damage potential. This build is typically used in Raids, though there are separate builds for the different Class Engravings and the different endgame content.

Blaze is a very regular, low cooldown ability that (due to the Damage Amplification tripod) provides a consistent damage increase for your whole party. Doomsday and Explosion are your two massive damage dealers. They both take a while to charge up which means you'll want to practice with them for Raids in particular - Dungeons aren't so bad because the mobs tend to buy Gold Lost Ark group up anyway. The Arcane Rupture gauge allows you to pull off some of the most impressive damage in the game, especially partnered with the Igniter build for massive burst potential.
