Temple of the Three Winds (ToTW) attacks are decent. There are two. Khlum is made up of six books and seems a bit weak- store buy-able is better. Tree is 5 books and great. Adds a bit of healing to team as well and quick
recharge.

Yep, those are both in there

I use Tree of Enlightenment even on my high MA toon. Free damage and team healing? Yes please.

I have updated the guide with the following:

• Rollable MA attacks may also be bought from specialised weapon stores.
• Added a link to the guide for Temple of the Three Winds loot, with info on which mobs drop the MA books.
• The Lost Eden MA attacks are now sold in the Ofab store in the Unicorn Defence Hub, instead of in tower shops.

I have updated the guide with the two new special attacks from the high level Temple of the Three Winds raid instance: Stampede of the Boar and Sting of the Viper.

Although auno was updated today, allowing me to see the stats for them, aoitems is still a few patches behind. Once aoitems is updated too, I will add item links to the guides (there are some dependencies to aoitems, so I can't just hard link to auno instead).

Although auno was updated today, ...

Wait.. Auno has been updated???

AOItems is also updated now, and I have added item links to the two new totw MA attacks.

Not sure why it says Jab of the Snake is given to MAs as you have to buy it off a terminal in Arete

Okay, try this again.

I was not given any MA skill called Jab of the Snake. There is one you can buy off a terminal in Arete named Attack of the Snake.

Thanks AngelTee, you are right. Jab of the Snake used to be given out to new players starting out on the old ICC Shuttleport (newbie island), but not anymore since Arete has been introduced. I have removed this section from the guide.

Attack of the Snake is one of the store buyable nanos mentioned further on in the guide; Arete has a shop terminal to the right of Antonio Stacklund.

Despite what the moves themselves says, Sappo and Enigma do not actually require the target to be another player. You can see it in the move requirements itself, the check on NPC type is actually checking yourself and since yourself is always a player it passes. I have screenshots of using them against the punching bag for example if required but it's pretty straight forward.

This makes enigma a unique and sometimes useful nano drain for MAs, Sappo isn't much good as the cooldown is too long but it's at least useable nonetheless.

The following bits can probably be either removed or reworded that while they were intended for pvp they can actually be used elsewhere.
"They are intended primarily for PvP."
"* Target must be another player"
