Notes

  • Often used for Enmity generation by Paladins, but this spell can also be useful as a defensive tool for good White Mages.
  • The accuracy reduction caused by this spell is very potent (-300), and will almost guarantee a miss by all but the strongest enemies.
    • This effect decreases rapidly until it wears off.
  • The effect is typically only resisted by light-based enemies or enemies which are either fully or temporarily immune to magic. That being said, though high level enemies will not resist the effect outright, it will tend to only last an instant.
  • +256 Magic Accuracy.
