Category:Enhancing Magic


Enhancing Magic governs all magic that enhances the user and sometimes his party. Effects range from buffs such as Protect (physical defense up), Shell (magic defense up) and haste (speed up attacks and spell recasting time) to transportation spells such as Warp (return you to your home point) and the white mage teleport spells.

While no job has a very high rating in Enhancing Magic skill, Red Mage and Scholar (under the effect of Light Arts) have the highest. Although some Enhancing spells' potencies are not affected by the caster's skill, e.g. warp, haste (they transport you or give you the effect, there's no degree of success), others such as the various enspells and Stoneskin grow more powerful with increasing skill. Higher skill in Enhancing Magic also, as with skill in any magic discipline, helps to prevent spells governed by it from being interrupted while being cast.

The duration of some Enhancing Magic on a player is also governed to a degree by the receiving player's level. A player who is below the level that a spell is acquired will notice that the spell does not last the complete duration. For example, if a player casts Shell IV (a Level 68 spell) on a Level 62 character, the spell will wear off a little earlier than the expected 30 minute duration. The shortening of the duration of an Enhancing spell appears to have greater effect as the level difference increases, for instance, casting Protectra V on a Level 10 character will result in a buff which wears in a matter of minutes.

Notes[edit]

See: Combat Skills for more Skill information.

Note
Enhancing Magic is a key factor in many White Magic spells:
  • Resistance gained from Bar Elemental spells = ((Enhancing Magic Skill / 5) + 40), rounded down.
  • Above skill 310, at every interval of 20 starting at 310, increase the previous +40 in the equation by one. Example: Enhancing magic skill = 355, ((355/5)+43). Add 43 because 310 is +41, 330 is +42, 350 is +43
  • See also Phalanx and Phalanx II for effects of enhancing magic skill on these spells.
  • See also Red Mage: En-Spell Damage Calculations.
  • See also Stoneskin for formula and calculations.
  • The effect of opposing spells such as Haste and Slow can overwrite each other if the caster's skill is greater than the previous caster's skill. ie. Haste is cast by enhancing 200, slow must be cast by enfeebling >200 to take effect over slow and vice versa.
