added enhancing bio spells section with note on quick draw.

[[File:Bio_GUI.png]] Bio spells are a form of [[:Category:Dark Magic|dark magic]] that reduces the target's [[attack]] and gives a potent slip effect. They were a staple of [[Red Mage]] soloing tactics for years due to their short casting time, low MP cost, respectable eventual damage, and modest defensive perks. Now, Bio's primary use is in [[:Category:Voidwatch|Voidwatch]], where it is both a defensive option and a potential [[Voidwatch Weaknesses|weakness trigger]]. Keep in mind that the weakness will only trigger if Bio's DoT effect lands, which means that no higher tier Bio or Dia spell can already be on the monster (see below). Bio spells cannot be fully resisted unless a monster is completely immune to magic.

== Enhancing Bio ==
After any form of Bio has been applied to the enemy, [[Corsair|Corsairs]] can use the [[Quick Draw]] job ability [[Image:Dark-COR-Icon.gif|link=]]''Dark Shot'' to enhance the Attack Down Effect by an additional +2.73% (28/1024) and [[Damage Over Time]] +3 (Caps after one shot)
