Category:Elemental Debuff

Elemental Debuffs is a category of Black Mage specific Elemental Magic spells that deal no base damage in exchange for reducing the target's Base Stat, corresponding to the element weak to the debuff, and a small Damage Over Time effect at 3 second ticks for a base of 90 seconds which can be extended by Merit Point. The stat reduction and DoT correspond directly to the caster's INT, and is independent of the target's INT.
