Notes

• This spell reduces the target's evasion based on dMND and Enfeebling Skill with this formula:
  • Potency = [Floor(6/21)(Enfeebling Skill - 190)] + Floor(dMND/5); where dMND/5 caps at 0 and 10.
    • Lowest value at ±0 dMND compared to enemy: 0
    • Highest value at +50 dMND compared to enemy: 10
      • When Enfeebling Magic skill is 610, players will reach the highest value of -120 evasion. The value from MND above will be added to this.
        • Caps at -130 evasion, before enfeebling potency equipment.
• This spell has an innate magic accuracy bonus of +150.
• Unlike most other black magic spells, this spell relies on player dMND to target dMND for magic accuracy correction rather than dINT.
