Malevolent Spirit was an ominous skill that bypassed all physical defenses and attacked the mind. This was something that showcased Roma's insane crowd control prowess.
If the target was one with no mental defenses or abilities like Draco, Zaine, or Eva, they would suffer horribly from this. In fact, one could say it was one of those rare unblockable skills as long as the target was relatively weak-minded.
It also dealt 30% mental damage per second over 10 seconds. This was on the level of an Epic skill, as that totaled to about 300% mental damage overall. Considering how the sheer power of mental damage had been explained, this would do intense amounts of damage.
However, its cooldown was prohibitive at 30 minutes. So really, Roma could only use it once per battle.
