Notes

• The formula for MP recovery = floor( floor( Summoning Magic Skill × 1.05 - 55 + Elemental Siphon Equipment ) × ( 1.0 ± Weather and Day factors ) ) + Elemental Siphon Effect Job Points.

• Weather and Day bonus caps at +40% (1.4) with no negative cap.
• The minimum amount of MP returned from Siphon is 50.
• This ability caps at 700 Summoning Magic Skill for a base 680 MP.
• This ability transfers MP from your Elemental to yourself and thus the MP restored cannot exceed the elemental's current MP.

• E.g. A 99 Summoner with 474 skill and 10/20 Elemental Siphon Effect JP ranks using Beckoner's Pigaches +1, Conveyance Cape, and a Chatoyant Staff with matching day and weather would recover

• floor( floor( 474 × 1.05 - 55 + 90 ) × ( 1.0 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 ) ) + 30 = 721 MP recovered.

Weather and Day Factors

Day, weather, and the subsequent equipment which enhance their effects for siphon may either enhance siphon (matching element to the spirit) or decrease (opposing element) this factor.

Matching or Opposing Factor	Value ±
Irrelevant Day, Weather, etc	0
Day	10%
Single Weather / Double Weather	10% / 15%
Iridescence from Iridal Staff / Chatoyant Staff	5% / 10%
Zodiac Ring *	3%
Twilight Cape	5%

• *Zodiac Ring's +3% day bonus does not function during Lightsday and Darksday as they are not "Elemental Magically aligned" elements.
• The Elemental Obis obtained from In the Name of Science have no effect on this ability as Day/Weather bonuses are always applied in a similar vein as Helix Spells.
• Elemental Staves (eg. Thunder Staff) have no effect on this ability.
