MapleStory/Luminous




 * Race: Hero
 * Time Limited: Unknown
 * Maximum level: 200
 * Patch notes: v124 - Tempest: Luminous Update Notes

Luminous is a Magician class, it is also the last Hero class in the game. He uses a Shining Rod as his weapon and he uses Orbs as his secondary weapon. Although the story represents him as a male, he can be created as both a male or a female inside the game.

All Hero classes have a unique element to the character. Luminous has a Light/Dark system where he can control and balance his power. During the tutorial, you are able to select either the Light or Dark path; choosing one will effect your skills. Choosing Light will give you skills that boosts your light and a light attack skill, vice versa if Dark was chosen. After you received your second job advancement, you will get Dark skills alongside with your light skills. Using too many light skills will force your character to enter the Dark mode, your orb will turn purple and your right eye will glow. Entering dark mode will also boost selected dark skills that you have. Using too many dark skills will do the exact opposite, it will turn you into Light mode, your characters eyes will be reverted to normal and the orb will be sky blue. All your light skills now have a boost rather than the dark skills. Also, right before you actually change modes, your character will go into an Equilibrium state, a few skills will have their cooldowns removed and has extra power added, this lasts 10 seconds and 20 seconds in 4th job. Equilibrium can only be activated in 3rd and 4th job.

In GlobalMS, it was changed so that you were able to freely change from Dark or Light skills and you did not have the option to choose Light or Dark in the tutorial.
