SP Recovery: {(Skill Level x Absorbed Skill Level) + (Caster's Job/5)} /2

• Does not recover SP from absorbed traps or monster skills
• This is a unique skill that treats the affected areas like dead cells. Any ground targetted skill that does not work on a dead cell will not work on areas affected by Maelstrom.
• This skill prevents ground paint and AoE magic working or cast within the area.
• This skill prevents traps from being placed within AoE.
• Other traps can be pushed in and/or damage targets inside AoE.
• Shields enemies, allies, and the user who steps within its AoE.
• Magnetic Earth prevents casting of this skill.
• Does not clear already placed traps or other static ground-based skills eg. Sage's Elemental fields.
