 Awakening |
Magnus Dan is the Druids' greatest protector. In the game, he is also an unlockable transformation skill utilized by Ryan for his Vanquisher job in Grand Chase.
Background
Dan is a hero of the Druids, who has powerful magic and swordsman abilities known over the lands. Eventually, he grew too old to fight but also felt that the demise of the Druids was drawing nearer, so he required someone to succeed him.
He sent a test to many Sentinels and Vikens. However, when they returned, only a few survived and those that did were too frail to receive his legacy.
Story
Vanquisher Ryan
All hope seemed lost for Dan until he took note of Ryan, who helped save the continent of Bermesiah during its time of crisis. He immediately picked the Druid as his successor and bestowed upon him the Storm Blades, alongside the ability to change into the form of Magnus Dan himself.
Attacks
Magnus Dan is capable of using multiple sword slashes and thrusts and keeps the use of Mach Blow like the Vanquisher. He is also capable of performing 3 different levels of skills as well.
Unlike the Wolf or the Nephilim, the transformation of Magnus Dan lasts infinitely long (even through portals) until the user dies, removes the transformation, or the match has ended. It is not required to buy Magnus Dan as it is already equipped. However, if any Wolf form skill is equipped, the Wolf form will replace Magnus Dan.
The 
command is used to transform back into Ryan. Similar to Wolf and Nephilim, he gains health when transformed depending on how much current vitality the user has. He also projects a shockwave upon transformation.
TIP: Although he has no buff, Magnus Dan cannot be grabbed.
