Their spells revolve around causing direct damage with elemental spells, and although a max level wizard can decimate entire legions of foes from afar with a wide variety of potent spells, a wizard who is still in the process of leveling will find it very impractical to attempt to be a damage dealer and will instead only focus on strengthening the elemental affinities of friends and foes -- strong spells require lots of stats, nobody expects ( or wants ) wizards to deal damage in a group setting while leveling, and not pumping WIS will result in a vastly lower MP pool, plus you can just pick up the spells you missed leveling up at 99.

As data sets have grown in size and complexity, direct " hands-on " data analysis has increasingly been augmented with indirect, automated data processing, aided by other discoveries in computer science, such as neural networks, cluster analysis, genetic algorithms ( 1950s ), decision trees ( 1960s ), and support vector machines ( 1990s ).

In his lecture series from 1979 to 1980 Foucault extended his analysis of government to its ' wider sense of techniques and procedures designed to direct the behaviour of men ', which involved a new consideration of the ' examination of conscience ' and confession in early Christian literature.

One immediate application is the definition of the basic concepts of analysis such as derivative and integral in a direct fashion, without passing via logical complications of multiple quantifiers.

In an August 2010 report, the Center for Immigration Studies, through direct communication with foreign government officials and analysis of relevant foreign law including statutory and constitutional law, was able to confirm that 30 of the world's 194 countries grant automatic birthright citizenship ( although they were not able to obtain definitive information from 19 countries ).

Some of those systems are able to record ( logging ) laps data from the sensors, allowing replay of an entire running session or / and direct download to a personal computer equipped with a data analysis software.

Anyway, direct MALDI-TOF-MS analysis can lead to a fast and straightforward illustration of the glycan pool.

The most substantial reason for not using handwriting analysis in the employment process is the absence of evidence of a direct link between handwriting analysis and various measures of job performance

This idea was supported by the identification and genetic analysis of axon guidance molecules, including those that direct development of the vertebrate visual system.

For example, economic analysis may suggest that direct subsidies ( cash benefits ) would be more efficient than indirect subsidies ( such as trade barriers ); this does not necessarily imply that direct subsidies are bad, but they may be more efficient or effective than other mechanisms to achieve the same ( or better ) results.

A common aiming system is to alternate solid (" ball ") rounds and tracer ammunition rounds ( usually one tracer round for every four ball rounds ), so shooters can see the trajectory and " walk " the fire into the target, and direct the fire of other soldiers.

From 1994 through 1998, under the government of Alberto Fujimori, the economy recorded robust growth driven by foreign direct investment, almost 46 % of which was related to the privatization program. The government invested heavily on the country ´ s infrastructure, which became a solid foundation for the future of the Peruvian economy.

Due to the high temperature, the plasma can not be in direct contact with any solid material, so in fact it has to be located in the vacuum.

Because of its direct relevance to products of commerce, solid state inorganic chemistry has been strongly driven by technology.

The interest stems from the fact that accurate measurements of the unit cell volume, atomic weight and mass density of a pure crystalline solid provide a direct determination of the Avogadro constant.

The media may be separated by a solid wall, so that they never mix, or they may be in direct contact.

* Rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing – solid freeform fabrication direct from CAD models

When part definition is defined mathematically via a solid model, the assertion that one cannot interrogate the model — the direct analog of " scaling the drawing "— becomes ridiculous ; because when part definition is defined this way, it is not possible for a drawing or model to be " not to scale ".

A heat exchanger is a tool built for efficient heat transfer from one fluid to another, whether the fluids are separated by a solid wall so that they never mix, or the fluids are in direct contact.

The Dirac sea has a direct analog to the electronic band structure in crystalline solids as described in solid state physics.

Sublimation is a direct phase transition from the solid phase to the gas phase, skipping the intermediate liquid phase.

In the absence of any direct documentary proof or solid physical evidence, the question of whether Anderson was Anastasia was for many a matter of personal belief.

Since both his grandfather and father were lawyers, and he was the first son in his direct family, Varenne was guaranteed a solid education and the same profession.

In other cases the data is downloaded from the aircraft's Quick Access Recorder ( QAR ), either by transfer to a portable solid state recording device or by direct upload to the operator's headquarters via radio or satellite.

Thorough cooking eliminates the direct threat ( i. e. cooked egg whites that are solid and not runny ), but the threat of cross-contamination remains if people handle contaminated eggs and then touch other foods or items in the kitchen, thus spreading the bacteria.

In other words, you can't deform a solid material using direct contact without applying a high pressure and somewhere along the process must acceleration and deceleration take place, i. e., high pressure must be applied on all sides of the deformed material.

The Launch Escape System would work automatically ( or through manual activation ) to fire a solid fuel escape rocket and open a canard system to direct the Command Module away from, and off the path of, a launch vehicle in trouble.
