== Mechanics ==
* The Professor's buffs applied by Attack 1 / 2 / 3 can be removed if he loses Focus.
* The first hit the Professor receives each turn will cause him to lose 1 Focus on a noncrit and 2 Focus on a crit.
** Your hit seems to disturb The Professor's focus.
** Your critical hit greatly shakes The Professor's focus!
** Taking a noncrit and then a crit during the same turn will still only decrease Focus by 1.
* When the Professor has lost 5 Focus, his buffs from Attack 1 / 2 / 3 will be automatically removed.
** The Professor loses focus!
* On the Professor's first turn and every time he uses Attack 10, he records his target's Melee/Pierce/Magic values. These values are used to determine whether to use Attack 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 during subsequent turns.
