==Notes==
* [[Astral Flow]] must be active to summon [[Alexander]].  Alexander will automatically use this [[:Category:Blood Pact|Blood Pact]] and Astral Flow will wear off.
* Although it acts as a [[Blood Pact: Ward]], this is considered a [[Blood Pact: Rage]] in the data files.
** Correspondingly, it is unaffected by [[Astral Conduit]] [[Job Points]].
* Duration improves linearly with summoning magic skill.
** Potency begins to decrease at half duration.
** Total duration caps at 60s
* Perfect Defense is an AoE party-only buff that drastically reduces the amount of damage taken and provides near immunity to almost all debuffing effects. The damage reduction and status immunity will begin to decay at half of the full duration.
* Can generally not be removed by forms of [[Dispel]], except for [[:Category:Sandworm#Common TP Moves|Extreme Purgation]] from [[Veiled Sandworm]].
