Embrace ATK or Triumphant Roar ATK, P.Embrace's M. Attack, Amplification or Memento Mori). If your spell misses, youll see a message like: *Your Name here*s spell has no effect.

The accuracy down effect doesn't seem to last as long as Sand Spin's. This is a Level 2 Blue Mage ability that requires 20 ABP to learn - and once you've got it, you can of.

However, darkness based enemies, and enemies resistant to darkness can resist this spell. So, if you need more accuracy, you can cast Warm-Up. (Try server hopping, its probably active. Maybe try to upgrade this second. A winner for the Bind effect, and cheap INT/MND from setting it. This spell does generate a lot of hate, so it can be used as a hate tool. But nothing will replace the cheap, fast Head Butt. This is often the easiest way since you can do it solo without needing a partner or a group. They gave PUP no chakrams, but gave them throwing skill. So, this isnt worth casting. It's still not as useful as MP Drainkiss because of the longer recast time (180 seconds instead of 90 seconds for MP drainkiss), twice the MP cost, and less MP drained unless you have a LOT of MND gear, light staff/HQ light staff, magic attack bonus, etc. You can also get this spell from the last boss of Dusk Vigil if you really want to bother. Though this CAN be useful later on, just when you want to spam a low damage spell just feed a mob TP so you can learn a spell. It's dark based, it's like sleep II (90 seconds), so if you need an extra sleep, it's there. lvl 40 - Terror Touch - Physical - Damage (Blunt) and Additional Effect: Attack Down - It's useful only for the attack down effect, it has a long cast time for physical spells. Can be combined with other spells for the dual wield trait. You can also solo unsync a run of Tam Tara (Normal) and get it from the last boss. This is a nice upgrade, it'll give you +100 TP bonus to physical spells when using efflux. Counters enemies with ice damage every time you suffer physical damage. I have no idea how much, but it does give a nice pure damage increase even if the spell has TP modifiers to ACC under chain affinity or something else.

It's silences, but it is a gaze attack, meaning you need to be facing the mob's face for the silence to stick, else it has no effect.

Useless, unless you set all three spells that give gilfinder, to get an upgrade to treasure hunter. Is this supposed to be stronger than Thunderbolt?

It is possible to solo job points in certain camps as a Blue Mage using the subduction mana-burn method. lvl 38 - Jet Stream - Physical - Three-Fold Attack (Blunt) - This is Bludgeon's big brother, it uses more MP, but it's stronger. +10 HP won't save you from anything. lvl 99 - Diffusion Ray - Magical (Light) - 238 MP - Chariots (Archaics) - Deals light damage to targets in range (frontal AoE) - Obtainable from Chariot mobs.

Also, Bomb Toss is dependent on INT for damage. Its like rock-paper-scissors that goes on like this: Beasts beat Lizards which beat Vermin which beats Plantoids which beats Beasts, Aquan beats Amorpha beats Birds beats Aquan, Undead and Arcana oppose each other, Dragons and Demons oppose each other, Lumorian and Luminion (two types of creatures in sea) oppose each other, and Beastmen stand on their own. Their base accuracy is determined by your main hand weapon's accuracy. By the time the spell animation is over, you could cast it again. You may also learn the spell while in a party. Can make magic defense bonus trait with Magnetite Cloud or Ice Break. No idea how potent the effect on this spell is. Doing instances either premade with no Unrestricted options selected or with both Unrestricted and Level Sync options make the spell a 100% learn rate. You won't really resist sleep from a mob that uses it that's strong enough to sleep you. However, as a blue mage spell, this costs 350 MP! If you are instancing with other Blue Mages for spell learning, dont finish the fight until all Blues have been raised, if at all possible. lvl 97 - Thunder Breath - Magical - 193 MP - Wyvern (Dragon) - Deals magical lightning breath damage to enemies in a cone AoE (Lightning) - Deals 67.5% of your current health in thunder damage. But it does darkness with expiacion like vertical cleave. It's not even enough MP for an extra head butt. So, for example, you claim your NM on Earthsday. Very costly light base fan-shaped nuke.

See where I'm going with this? Unlike other jobs that acquire new abilities when they level up, Blue Mages must learn their spells from enemies. The spell has no cast bar; it is the tank buster. For whatever reason, both Blue Physical AND Magical spells can't get mimicked by Colibri. lvl 50 - Self-Destruct - Magical - AoE Fire Damage (dependent on HP) - You know that attack that bombs do? As of now, there are well over 100 blue mage spells. But you need to be fully healed to get the full damage from them. Some of them are a lot easier to learn than their "outside" options (Frenetic Rip/Animating Wail for example). lvl 28 - Bomb Toss Magical Fire AoE Damage This spell is useful for only one thing, the STR +2 stat bonus it gives when set. Deals fire damage with a potency of 130 to all enemies in a cone before you. To unlock Blue Mage spells, you have to first witness a monster using that spell in combat and then defeat the monster.

If you need another stun that can do decent damage, you can set this (also part of the Store TP trait combo). Only when Chain Affinity is used will TP affect your spells. It's trash. There is a big misconception among new BLU with physical magic and TP. Just note that stun can be resisted, it helps to have magic accuracy as well as haste in your gear set for casting this spell. Savage Blade > Final Sting > Light skillchain (and most likely certain death if your shadows go down), however, it's harder to SC with Final Sting than other spells, because it has a long cast time. It's more expensive for a cure, but as you gain higher levels, you get higher cures and more HP. You can also get this from a synced or unsynced run of Sastasha (Hard). lvl 36 - Pinecone Bomb - Physical - Damage (Piercing) and Additional Effect: Sleep - The damage isn't that great, but that's not why you set this spell. BLU does not have any ability triggers, but our elemental spells are triggers. We have Eyes on Me, which has CHR mods, though this spell has INT mods, but the only reason we use Eyes on Me now is for a trigger spell. Has the fragmentation SC property. lvl 38 - Blank Gaze - Magical - Gaze attack Dispel (Light) - It's unique because it's a light based dispel like BRD's magic finale. Recovers X HP over time. Use this always. This only works on your melee (not sure about ranged attack) damage. I can't even use this spell yet. lvl 46 - Magnetite Cloud - Magical - Earth Damage and Additional Effect: Weight - it does more damage than Mysterious Light, since the damage is based off of your HP (like a breath spell), but it's expensive at 86 MP per cast with a long cast time. It hits more times than thrashing assault, with STR and DEX mods. This one is very strong when combined with Sneak Attack. It adds more damage to your next spell of any kind. MND has no effect on it like Metallic Body, and unlike the White Magic Stoneskin spell. This process must be repeated until the spell is learned. You can't choose which physical attack you want to shrug off, so if you want to avoid a TP move, if you get hit by a melee hit, you'll lose the buff. lvl 71 - Triumphant Roar - Magical - Self-targeting, short lasting +15% (38/256) Attack bonus - This spell is like Warcry, but self-targeting (unless you use diffusion). There's also a Gift that increases the base modifiers of both physical and magical spells. This makes the Blue Mage extremely versatile skillchain partners once we reach level 40 for Chain Affinity. I've seen a video of a BLU using grudge, thermal pulse, and charged whisker, along with sanguine blade to solo Shinryu with a Primeval Brew. However, you'll want to equip this as soon as you can, because it can be used for auto-refresh. Blue mages begin with 4 0- level spells and gain an additional 0- level spell every three levels after 1st level. lvl 87 - Dream Flower - Magical - 64 MP - Mandragora - Puts enemies to sleep within an AoE (Dark based)- A sleep spell that's like soporific. However, it isn't that useful, since your sword damage isn't as good as say a WAR's dual wielding axe with rampage, or any higher level G-Axe skill. Don't leave the mog house without it. If only more buffs increased our physical spells' damage. Cancels auto-attack upon execution. The spell description says, "Accuracy varies with TP." lvl 69 - Hysteric Barrage - Physical - Fivefold attack (Blunt) - This is the second attack of what is called by many BLU: "the big three." lvl 56 - Feather Barrier - Magical - Evasion Bonus (Wind) - This gives you an evasion bonus that lasts even less than cocoon does, it lasts only 30 seconds, making it's usefulness limited. Max this out immediately, it's the most important job point you can get. A very strong, single target, physical spell. lvl 08 - Queasyshroom Physical Damage (Piercing) and Additional Effect: Poison (3 HP/tick) This spell has some use, while it has a weak poison effect, in ballista, this spell STRIPS all shadows from Utsusemi, which is useful. It might be a good time to start leveling your cooking skill. Most BLU/NIN prefer (due to the lack of SA) to use distortion, since disseverment is such a powerful spell in most cases, and the skillchain will do more damage than Light, surprisingly.

But it can do a lot of damage, especially against birds and imps. The bind is ice based, while the spell is fire based damage. This spell is useless, except for the fact that you can use it for the auto-refresh job trait. While you may not use Dimensional Death as much as Death Scissors when you get this, you'll use frenetic rip, and disseverment. Mob MP is inconsequential in most cases, they're not going to run out of it, and mobs gain TP rather fast, especially with direct damage blue magic giving 10 TP a HIT (more for multi-hit spells), and everyone swinging their weapons and casting nukes, the mob is going to get +100% TP rather fast even if you're draining 3 TP every three seconds.
