Provocation targets an enemy within 9 cells and provokes every enemy in an area centered on you (see the table). Boss monsters can be provoked too.

The provoke has level 5, +1 per 2 levels of Provoke you know (level 10 at most), and lasts 30 seconds. Afterwards, the monsters change targets normally.

Level	Skill	SP	Cast	Cooldown	Area of effect

At its maximum level, Provocation keeps only its normal effect, so you choose by choosing the level. Needs rank 2 or more.
