Two or more Weapon skills used in the correct order within a 3 second time frame.

Using a Skill Chain Chart
Say there are 2 one handed sword wielders, and they both have "Fast Blade" and "Burning Blade". Now find the Weapon Skill on the [Skill Chain Chart]. "Burning Blade" is in the Fire section; and "Fast Blade" is in the earth section. There is one arrow connecting them. Notice that the arrow is double ended. This means that you can start in the Earth section and go to the Fire section; or start in the Fire section and go to the Earth section: and both ways you will get a Skill Chain. if you start in Fire section and go to Earth you get an Earth "Scission" Skill Chain. Going the other way (Earth first followed by Fire) you get a Fire "Liquefaction" Skill Chain. The A-B-C lettering after some Weapon Skills are are a priority check for the game. Sometimes, a particular Weapon Skill "can" Skill Chain to more than one listing of the same Weapon Skill. A good example is Fast Blade (Earth) having a link to either Red Lotus Blade A (Fire) or Red Lotus Blade B (Wind). The game will always create the link to Red Lotus Blade A (Fire) when forced to choose between these two links. So you will always get a Liquefaction (Fire) effect. However, had the first attack been Keen Edge (Dark), there is no link to Red Lotus Blade A (Fire), but you can link to Red Lotus Blade B (Wind). Thus, you will create a Detonation (Wind) effect. 3 weapon skills you can do 2 skill chains with 3 weapon skills the first two go as normal the 3rd weapon skill then follows (I think the timing on the 3 weapon skill is different than the timing on the first 2 weapon skills). you can not do 3 skill chains(i.e. 4 weapon skills in a row [I don't think]). magic burst to get a magic burst the mage casts a spell that is the same elemental type as the skill chain. he can magic burst in the middle of a 3 weapon skill, skill chain (and the end if he is fast enough). more that one magic burst can happen at the same time; they do not interfear with each other. the mage can also magic burst a skill chain that he helped create (dark knight and pal as well).
