Archmange Julian

An ancient mage said to be older than the world itself, the Archmage Julian joins the fight! Dominate the battlefield with Julians elemental magic!

Julians specials (except for Up Special) all use Mana Stars. You can check how much Mana you have by shielding or taunting. Julians Mana is maxed at 5, after using Mana for an attack, you may have a chance of regaining it whenever you land an attack on an opponent or when you destroy a projectile. Julians Mana recovers to full after getting KO?ed. If you do not have enough Mana for an attack, It will fail.

If Julian has used his double jump, he may use 2 Mana Stars to do another mid-air jump. If you can supply the Mana Stars, there is no limit to how many jumps.
