«Sword Skills» (剣技ソードスキル, Sōdo Sukiru?) are «Spellborn Online's» combat movements that are assisted by the system. Most Sword Skills are named in English, the only exception being Katana and certain Martial Arts category skills, which are named in Japanese, but written in the English alphabet.
Sword Skills have six elemental damage properties: Fire (火, Hi), Water (水, Mizu), Earth (地, Chi), Wind (風, Kaze), Darkness (闇, Yami), and Holy (聖, Sei), which supplement the usual physical damage.
Sword Skills are activated when a player performs the appropriate «Pre-Motion» (予備動作プレモーション, Pure Mōshon, lit. "Preparation motion") for a skill, such as raising a sword atop one's shoulder. As soon as the system recognises the motion, the player's weapon begins to glow in a color specific to a Sword Skill. The player can then allow the system to take over and automatically complete the skill at a speed that is normally near impossible for a player to achieve and dealing much more damage than a regular sword swing.
After a skill is completed, the user is temporarily rendered rigid in a state called a «Post-Motion» (技後硬直ポストモーション, Posuto Mōshon, lit. "After technique stiffening"), during which the user is made vulnerable to any counter-attacks. The higher the level of the Sword Skill used, the longer the «Post-Motion» period is.
After a Sword Skill has been used, the skill enters a «Cooling» (冷却クーリング, Kūringu) period, which is displayed as a cooling icon at the bottom of the player's view. Until this period ends, the same Sword Skill cannot be used, however, any other learned skills that are not in a cooling period can still be used.
Damage from a sword skill is determined from the strength stat + any weapons or increasing skills.
