Notes/Description[edit]

This is a secret ninja art by which one traps their own body with explosives and gives their life to do a great amount of damage to the enemy. It is a last resort used to protect information, allow your allies to escape, or simply when you are left with no other recourse.

• Mijin Gakure is a Ninja's One Hour Ability.
• Inflicts instantaneous damage to a single enemy, similar in nature to Eagle Eye Shot. The damage dealt by this ability is non-elemental magic-based, and therefore cannot miss, but is subject to resistance instead. Damage is based on the user's current HP. In general, the higher the user's current HP, the more damage that is dealt.

• Damage from Mijin Gakure is reduced by -Magic Damage Taken gear, Shell, and the Paladin Job Ability Fealty, but not by Magic Defense Bonus.

• Any player that uses this ability will immediately be K.O.'d; however no Experience Points will be lost.
• Upon raising after using this ability, the player will not be in a weakened state and will have 50% of their maximum HP.
• Correct use in party situations is debatable. Greater HP will result in a more damaging attack, at the expense of half the Ninja's HP (plus 150MP of the mage's MP, if the Ninja does not have Reraise). In general, this ability is not used in party situations unless the Ninja's K.O. is imminent anyway, or unless the attack will inflict enough damage to defeat the target.
• Can be used as a way to get rid of weakness. If Mijin Gakure is used with the Reraise status effect on, or Raise is cast upon the character, the weakness will be gone after accepting the revival.
• Killing a monster with Mijin Gakure in Abyssea will create Pearlescent light for the surviving members of the party. The ninja will not gain the light.

Macro Syntax[edit]

• /ja "Mijin Gakure" <t>
• Since Mijin Gakure is a one hour special, and especially so because it K.O.'s you upon use, some people prefer not to make a macro for it to prevent unintentional activation.
