Melee Physical Attack Category

Attack defense ratio and attack defense function (pDIF) relation is the same with that of player characters.
Attack is Blue Magic Skill + 8 + (STR * 0.5).
Defense is the opponent's defense.

Physical damage calculation is the same with player character WS damage calculations:

Note: Due to the July 9 2013 and the August 12, 2014 updates, the formula here is lacking in information or adjustments. This is mostly why the page has been flagged as outdated.

Final Base Damage (D) value ＝floor(D+fSTR+WSC) * Multiplier

  • There is an upper D cap for each spell.
  • Spells post level 75 have no known upper limit on base damage (D).
  • WSC Related to your attribute stats. Similar to Weapon Skill's WSC, there is a level correction factor α
  • fSTR Modified by Your STR - Opponent VIT.
If dSTR = your STR - Opponent VIT is 28, fSTR is 8.
For the rest of the value, whenever dSTR+4 → fSTR+1.
Example: if dSTR=84 → fSTR is 22.
All melee spells, except for Smite of Rage and Grand Slam, have an upper cap of 22 fSTR at level 75.
  • This is increased by 1 every 5 subsequent levels to a cap of 26 fSTR at 99.
  • For Multi Hit Blue magic spells, it's not yet been confirmed that second and consecutive hit will have multiplier 1.00 (Most likely, it is 1.00)
  • During Azure Lore, a certain multiplier is in effect. TP:Damage Correction only?
  • During Chain Affinity, Secondary Attributed Modifier value(WSC) is doubled.
E.g. The formula become Final D value ＝floor(D+fSTR+WSC*2) * Multiplier
  • The multiplier can be enhanced/reduced depending on the opponent's monster family
  • When the spell from which monster family is strong to opponent's monster family, the multiplier value is raised by 0.25
E.g. Screwdriver has its multiplier enhanced from 1.375 to 1.625 when fighting amorph family such as Hecteyes
  • When the spell from which monster family is weak to opponent's monster family, the multiplier value is lowered by 0.25
E.g. Mandibular Bite has its multiplier reduced from 2.00 to 1.75 when fighting lizards family such as Raptors or Bugards
  • For multi-hit spells, this bonus is added for each hit's fTP.
E.g. Frenetic Rip on Puks will have the fTP for first, second, and third hit as 1.61, 1.25, and 1.25 respectively Verification Needed.
  • Magus Keffiyeh increases this multiplier by 0.02. Merits in Monster Correlation likely increase this multiplier by 0.004 per increase.
  • Neither of these negatively impact on damage when using a spell weak vs target.
Please refer to Monster Correlation for strong/weak correlation.
  • Melee Physical Blue Magic spells cannot score a critical hit without Sneak Attack or Chain Affinity if it has the description of "Chance of critical varies with TP."

The D cap seems to be capped at 14~15 level after the skill can be used.
Since Jet Stream can be used at Lv38, the D is capped at Lv53 with Blue Magic skill 164~168.

Ranged Physical Attack Category

Ranged Attack defense ratio and ranged attack defense function relation is the same with that of PC
Ranged Physical attack considered as Throwing type, whose sweet spot is close to melee range. See Distance_Correction for sweet spot information.
Ranged Attack is Blue Magic Skill + 8 + (STR * 0.5).
Defense is the opponent's defense
Ranged Accuracy depends on Blue Magic Skill and possibly Agility

Final D Value = floor(floor(D + fSTR2 + WSC) * Multiplier)

  • D is calculated as: floor(Blue Magic Skill*0.11)*2+3. There's cap for each spell.
  • WSC is related to Stats. There is level correction factor α
  • fSTR2 is modified by your STR - opponent's VIT.
If dSTR=your STR - opponent's VIT is 28, fSTR2 is 16.
For the rest of the value, whenever dSTR +2 → fSTR2 +1.
Example: if dSTR=84 → fSTR2 is 22.
All ranged spells have an upper fSTR2 cap of 44 at 75. This is increased by 1 every 5 subsequent levels to 52 at 99.
  • Ranged Blue Magic does not stack with Sneak Attack, but can critically hit without outside effect.
