Pagma's Sword Dance is a skill comparable to Swordsmanship Skills that was developed by Pagma. Grid, being Pagma's Descendant, acquired the Sword Dance as a quest progress reward and to clear his first class quest, the Pagma's Sword Dance quest.[2] Later on, Grid used the Skill Enhancement to upgrade it to the Great Swordsman Pagma's Sword Dance (Goddess' Blessing Version).[3]
Information[]
Pagma's Sword Dance is a conditional passive skill and intermediary to the active skills, the single sword dances.[4] This skill contains some of Pagma's sword dances—which can be performed upon its activation. Although, as the skill level goes up, more of Pagma's sword dances can be learnt. Meanwhile, it works as a buff skill until it is activated. Once it is activated, the buffs that it provides to the user in its passive form are lost. This is the first and one of its major drawbacks, the second one being — once deactivated, it will take 10 seconds until the skill can be activated again. That means, no further sword dance can be applied until then.
The skill is the reason why Grid's basic attacks and 100,000 Army Massacre Sword are so powerful. All active skills belonging to Pagma's Sword Dance has the disadvantage of a long delayed activation time or cooldown time, but the function of the passive skill is the best and is superior to other Weapon Mastery Skills. Of course, the other mastery skills have the advantage of ‘always applied.’ Later on, Grid also acquired the Weapons Mastery in addition to Pagma's Sword Dance and thus, he didn't feel any big regret.[5]

Notes[]
- In later chapters, the author distinguishes between sword techniques and sword dances. All skills of Pagma's Sword Dance are sword dances but in the beginning of translation, the sword dances were also called sword techniques. Pagma's Sword Dance was also initially translated as Pagma's Swordsmanship, but was later corrected, because the korean word meant Sword Dance. For more information, click here.
