Notes
- This spell is only accessible while under the effects of SCH's 1-hour Tabula Rasa.
- Should Tabula Rasa wear off while you are casting this spell, you will get a message stating that you cannot cast this spell when the casting completes.
 
 - To learn this spell, speak to Erlene in the Eldieme Necropolis (S) at (J-8) while on Scholar. (Your SCH must be level 5 or higher.)
 - Does considerable initial damage (~Tier 5 spell), and gives a DoT that does about a fourth of the initial damage every tick.
 - The base damage formula differs from regular magic damage calculations: floor(floor(0.067*Lv)*(37+floor(0.67*dINT)))
- When paired with Ebullience, the +40 Magic Damage from the "Stratagem Effect III" Job Point category is applied with the "37+floor(0.67*dINT)" term to become up to "37+40+floor(0.67*dINT)"
 - The base damage depends on the main level (Lv), not on the level difference.
 - 0.067*Lv is floored to one decimal digit, all other floors round down to the next integer.
 - dINT is caster's INT vs. target INT and caps at 300.
 - This formula is exact for most levels (including 99), but has some minor deviations at certain lower levels.
 - Other multipliers, such as darkness elemental potency and Magic Attack Bonus, are applied on top of the base damage normally.
 - This DoT effect caps at 24,999 damage per tick.
 
 - This spell cannot be erased, but can be overwritten by (and overwrites) the effects of Embrava, Benediction, or Full Cure.
 - The effect of this spell will wear off if an affected mob goes passive.
