A rare and exceptionally powerful UT, this seal functions differently from all others. It deploys a stationary Eye of Marble which gives both Armored and Damaging buffs to all players within range. This designates a zone in which every player is devastatingly powerful and extremely durable for 4.5 seconds. It also gives a nice DEF bonus.

While this may seem overpowered, the buffs are difficult to receive: all players must stay in a 4 tile radius of the Pillar, greatly limiting their mobility; it has the third highest MP cost of all the seals, only beaten out by the Scholar’s Seal and the Abyssal Insignia, which means paladins are able to cast it less often; unlike other seals, there is no duration WIS modifier, and there is a cooldown longer than the duration. The buffs are short with unavoidable gaps, and requires players to sacrifice a lot of mobility. This is a highly situational seal.

The Pillar itself is stationary and has the following sprite:
Eye of Marble

History
