Notes

• Deals about as much damage as a tier IV nuke.
• Unlike Helices, DoT occurs every three seconds instead of nine.
• DoT damage is 25% of the initial nuke's damage.
• Is actually a powerful darkness-element nuke, with a massive damage over time effect.
• Can be made Area of Effect using Manifestation.
• Using Kaustra with Manifestation on multiple targets causes the damage on each target to be reduced, much like a BLM's -ga spells.
• MP cost can be reduced to 10% of maximum MP by using Parsimony.
• Only usable while Tabula Rasa is in effect.
