Galvest would be really impractical with 1441 - according to the jwiki (and this seems to be what's written, not 100% sure on translation), moving - and therefore kiting or otherwise running away - cancels galvest. You CAN use other skills (cure, other attack spells) and potions, though, but can you spam faster than you take hits from a mob? Maybe... if you wear an amazing HP shield plus crazy LK gear for crit cancellation and block rate - but just remember the Galvest hits take place only every two seconds up to 18s or so at mastery, so if you go 1441, Galvest just might be entirely impractical except for farming low damage/level monsters...

Wind Blade can still be used with a low charm build, though... Because it's so fast, you can run past monsters and use it, continue running, toss a mana ring or something just as the monster's turning around, run past and wind blade again... As long as the monster doesn't move crazy fast, you can avoid taking hits at all this way in one-on-one combat with monsters.

However, although a high sense/low charm might skip galvest, if that sheep is going specialist in job3, i think the job3 wind skill (which is from what i can tell a powered up wind blade, but with higher cooldown/MP cost) requires 10 storm anyway, so there'll be no avoiding getting it... It's a good stalling spell anyway, though, allowing for some small amount of getaway time on mobs of relatively slow monsters for the duration of most of its animation and at a nice long range... :x

As for mana storm's accuracy, I think is fairly inaccurate, but not so much that you can't level with only that and mana arrow 1 on a 1414 for long enough to get another spell...
