The Mantis strike scroll enables the use of the Mantis strike special move for a Praying mantis. Using a Praying mantis pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates ten Mantis strike scrolls.
[edit] Mantis strike
Mantis strike is the special move of the Praying mantis, activated by a Mantis strike scroll. When activated against an opponent, it uses a magic based attack which may also bind and drain the opponent's prayer. Each use of a Mantis strike scroll requires 6 special move points.
[edit] Trivia
- The quote "Wax on, Wax off" is a reference to the movie "The Karate Kid". A character in the film, Mr. Miyagi, uses this quote while educating his pupil.
