MP reduction exception?

[Milennin]

I'm going to guess I'll need a plugin for this, but just to make sure: I want to have a skill that reduces MP cost on all skills, except the skill that activates this effect. Is it possible to make?

What if you just made the skill that causes this effect become unuseable while this effect is active? seems like a more logical approach, don't you think?

If you agree, then just add onto the state this effect causes a Trait, Skill, Seal Skill, (this skill)
That will cause it to be unuseable while this effect is active.

If you don't like this answer, or it doesn't fit what you trying to do, sorry.

I would, but it's the skill's secondary effect, so I don't want to block usage of the skill, if the player still wants to go ahead and use it for its primary effect.

hmm how about that skill give the user state... (can be done using damage formula)
the state give the user a brand new skill which actually the copy of the previous skill but without the secondary effect... with higher mp cost which when reduced by previous skill secondary effect will cost the same as the previous skill before mp reduction... that state also seal the previous skill...

now we only need to find a way to hide the previous skills (if you want to hide it)... since a state cannot remove actor skill... only add skill... and seal skill...
hope this help.
