Summary
Over the decades, theManaseries has been considered by the fans as one ofthe most impactful RPG seriesin video gaming history, starting off as a spin-off to Square Enix’s flagship series -Final Fantasy. Coming from the 8-bit screens to modern devices and even getting remakes of different series entries, the franchise has come a long way in over three decades.
Visions of Manafeatures many ways for players to boost the damage dealt by their attacks. One such way is with the help of ability seeds. These seeds grant abilities to the characters that they couldn’t have used otherwise. Ability seeds offer more flexibility, where players can boost the damage in the form of anincrease in stats or gain resistanceswithout having to switch between classes or upgrade weapons. Initially, players can equip only two of these, but over the course of time, they can maximize the team’s potential with these items, as the number increases from a mere two seeds to a whole ten ability seeds per character. There is a vast array of ability seeds forVisions of Manaplayers to make use of, but some are arguably better than others.
Seed Description
Exploration
Boasts the damage of Class Strikes during an Elemental Break by 70%
Bars display a variety of information inVisions of Mana, and the yellow bar on the screen has its own significance. Denoting the mana gauge in the game, this bar is used by players to use Elemental break, an ability that draws out the true potential of an elemental vessel. Upon learning an elemental break ability from the elemental plot, players can use it in combat to unleash the wrath of the elements. To make things worse for the enemies, using theOath of Radianceability goes far beyond a disaster, as it boosts the damage to class strikes used during an elemental break by 70%.
Class strikes inVisions of Manacan be considered as special movesthat are unique to each class, and with Oath of Radiance boosting the attack of the ultimate skill performed during the elemental break, things will not be good for any enemies - weak or strong.

Increase Critical Damage by 30%
Critical hits play a crucial role in combat in any RPG, as they can change the tide of the battle. However, the chance of hitting them efficiently is less, as they are associated with a critical rate that determines the chance of an attack being a critical hit.
Critical Rate Boost +andCritical Damage +are two ability seeds that drastically increase the chance to drop a critical hit by equipping these seeds with two slots. Increasing the crit rate by 40% and damage by 30%, these two seeds have the potential to deal unholy amounts of damage. Pairing these with classes that have a high crit rate, the increased attack power is certain to makeVisions of Manafeel much easier for gamers while also reducing the time it takes to conclude battles.

Extend Invulnerability period when evading attacks
The offense is the best defense, and theUntouchableability seed proves this saying accurately.Dodging is one of the most crucial mechanicsin an action RPG, and it often serves as the ultimate form of defense.
The Untouchable ability doubles down on this idea, as it increases the invulnerability period when evading attacks. The extended invincibility can be paired well with other ability seeds, like Provoke, that attract enemies tomake the game highly offensive and fast-paced.

Can cast magic of any element in quick succession
Magic makes up a big and important part of combat inVisions of Mana, and players have a vast pool of spells to pick from and use. The spells, though, are associated with cool downs to limit their use in combat. Spells would be completely broken in the game if not for their limited use over a period of time. However, players can bypass this cooldown to some extent withthe use of Consecutive Casting ability seed.
The item is available for all elements in the game, but theConsecutive Casting – Allis the best one to pick out of all, as it allows players to cast magic of any element in succession from the ring menu. The seed is especially useful when using it with spells that have a long cooldown period.

Giving a flat 10% damage increase on the elemental attack, the Wrath of ability seed gives a simple yet powerful buff to the players. The only thing players have to keep in mind is using the right Wrath of ability seed, as using Wrath of Darkness won’t benefit themwhile using the fire element.

Consuming a mere 3% HP for all party members to increase the damage to magic attacks is a sure-fire strategy to win on the battlefield. Pairing it up with abilities like Consecutive Casting and Acumen results in devastating damage powers, making this ability seed a must-try for players tinkering with magic inVisions of Mana.
