Yeah, I was right to think the charge-up skills should be cast-to-charge ...
Check out the charges' skill descriptions:
(Notice it doesn't mention stealing anything from monsters (logically giving a reason to have to hit something to charge it up) or having to hit targets to charge up the skills)
Fists of Fire:
Combining her powerful Martial Arts abilities with her psychic training, an Assassin can charge her own fists with pyrokinetic energies, scorching her opponents when the charge is released.
Claws of thunder:
Using her weapon's metal blades as conductors, an Assassin charges the ions surrounding her and delivers a devastating lightning attack to any who dare challenge her. (Requires equipped Claw-class weapon.)
Blades of Ice:
Charging the ether around her claw blades, the trained Assassin can chill opponents with a vicious rake of her razors. (Requires equipped Claw-class weapon.)
Phoenix Strike:
This mighty skill allows the Assassin trained in its arts to prepare an attack that gives off powerful elemental energies.
@ SilverShadowHell
-I want use the same abilities that the skills provided. What I got out of your post is that you want to have an aura on temporarily that boosts stats on strike, which can already be done with something like berserk or concentrate.
What I wanted to do is different, the vanilla method of charging the attacks is by successfully hitting a monster - instead, I want to be able to charge the skill just by casting it. (i.e. right-click once and there's a single orb around you, second click - two orbs, third click -final and third orb)
