Seraph's Embrace

Seraph's Embrace is the Archangel's final form: an ocean of mana converted into AP, plus a shield that punishes burst attempts.

On mages casting ten spells per fight, the mana-to-AP conversion eventually outgrows any raw damage item. The shield adds exactly what those profiles lack: the right to stay in the fight when an assassin finds them.

The purchase is planned from the start (early Tear) — it is a build trajectory, not a standalone item.
