Dark Knights have access to a variety of job-specific Absorb spells that allow them to steal certain enemy attributes for their own benefit. They break into three types:



Absorb-STAT spells

Absorb-STAT spells
Absorb-STR Absorb-DEX Absorb-VIT
Absorb-INT Absorb-MND Absorb-CHR
Absorb-AGI Absorb-ACC

These spells directly take a target`s base stat, inflicting a penalty on the target and giving a bonus to the caster. These spells are somewhat unique in that they depend on the main job level of a player (regardless of the job) even when Dark Knight is set as sub job. The formula is as follows:

Base Absorbed = Floor(3 + (Job Level÷5))

This can be further enhanced with equipment and Nether Void. Equipment bonuses add together and are multiplied in a single step, which is then floored and multiplied again by the Nether Void bonus.

Total Absorbed = floor( floor( Base Absorbed×Σ(Equipment Bonuses) )×Nether Void )

It is worth noting that the potency of these spells is not enhanced by Dark Magic Skill. Their accuracy is enhanced by it, and Resisted Absorb spells will be given half duration or have no effect (two-state spells). These spells decay over their durations at the rate of 1 stat every 10 seconds and eventually wear off after 90 seconds without any duration enhancing equipment.

Absorb-TP

After several nerfs, it seems this spell now caps at stealing 30~40% of the monster's TP. It is unknown exactly what Bale Gauntlets +1/2 do to Absorb-TP, but it is generally agreed they increase the TP it can steal and are worth using. It is unknown whether this spell is dependent on Dark Magic Skill.
