Notes

  • Along with Light Arts, Dark Arts is one of two grimoires available to scholars. Once activated, Dark Arts cannot be removed except by zoning, dying, or applying Light Arts.
  • Grants a bonus to Dark Magic, Elemental Magic, and Enfeebling Magic. The bonus is equivalent to the amount required to bring the skill ranking to a B+ grade. Magic skills that are above this rating will not be enhanced. Bonuses from merits are not included in this calculation. This also applies when subbed, skill ranking will raise to a B+ ranking of your MAIN job.
  • Reduces casting costs of black magic-based spells by 10% (rounded down, spells with casting cost of 9 MP or less are not affected). The MP cost of White Magic-based spells is increased in by 20% (rounded up).
  • Cuts effective casting time and recast of black magic spells by approximately 10%.
  • Increases casting time of white magic spells by approximately 20%.
  • Dark Arts provides a bonus to the Helix line of spells. Source
    • The bonus is (Job level/5)-3 damage (initial and per tick, +16 at level 99). Source
  • Recast timer can be reduced by up to 10 seconds with scholar-specific Grimoire Recast merits (2 seconds per merit).
  • There is no recast timer while Tabula Rasa is in effect.
