See Custom Active Skills for information on how to equip this skill.
This will override any element the weapon already has.
Here is a list of Active Skills that have strong synergy with the Custom Active Skills Arcana of Fire, Arcana of Lightning, Arcana of Power, Arcana of Water, Arcana of Vermin and Arcana of Serpents. Bolded options are particularly strong and do not require much build dedication such as using Yokai Abilities or Status Accumulation to get them to apply the element in one use, or are at least very easy to use multiple times quickly. Keep in mind enemy resistance will affect the potency of these skills.

AnonymousI feel it should be mentioned that any description where it says “certain active skills” means you can assign that to any active skill you want to in the skill customization menu by pressing square. It’s a pretty important mechanic that I overlooked for the first part of the game.
Does the effect stack with lightning weapon causing more dmg?
