Notes

• Grants evasion down based on the casters Enfeebling Magic skill and the differential in caster MND to target MND.
  • Lowest value at ±0 MND compared to enemy: 0
  • Highest value at +50 MND compared to enemy: 10
  • When enfeebling magic skill is 125, players will reach the highest value of -25 physical evasion. The value from MND above will be added to this.
  • Caps at -35 Evasion.
• This spell has an innate magic accuracy bonus of +150
• Unlike most other black magic spells, this spell relies on player dMND to target dMND for magic accuracy correction rather than dINT.
• Added in the July 2014 Version Update.
