Blue Magic

Not all magic in the world originates from human hands. Monsters and other creatures of magical origin practice their own unique brand of innate spellcraft, unleashing devastating magical energies almost as a reflex.

The caster launches themselves at an opponent with unusual speed and suddenness, weapon at the ready. Make a standard Attack Action with whatever Weapon the caster has equipped when Goblin Punch is cast; calculate damage as normal unless the caster and the target are of equal Level; in this case, the attack inflicts 400% Physical damage. Equipment Abilities are not factored into this attack. If the caster has two Weapons equipped, choose which of the two to attack with.

The caster transfers their life force into the target in the form of a glorious golden beam. Transfusion restores a single target to its maximum HP value; after the effects of Transfusion have been resolved, the caster is automatically reduced to 0 HP, regardless of their current HP score, ARM, or M. ARM.

An iridescent ball of orange light speeds towards the target, knocking down all barriers and protective fields as it homes in. When used against a target with the Reflect Status Condition, Reflect-Null has a CoS of (M. ACC – 50), M. Evasion of inflicting a random Status Condition on the target; roll 2d6 and consult the table below to determine the nature of the inflicted ailment.

Brilliant beams of energy pulse from the caster’s eyes, slashing into the target for (3 × MAG) + d8, M. Armor Magical damage.

A crackling sphere of yellow energy forms around the caster, growing in size until it is launched at the target, inflicting (4 × MAG) + d8, M. Armor Magical damage. Aerial-type monsters take 150% damage from Choco Ball.

A series of blood-colored orbs shoot out from the tip of the caster’s weapon, latching onto the target to drain its vital essences. Make a standard Attack Action with whatever Weapon the caster has equipped when Red Feast is cast, calculating damage as normal but ignoring the Weapon’s Equipment Abilities; all damage inflicted after modifying for Armor also restores the caster’s HP, up to its maximum value. Any additional HP recovered beyond that is lost. If the caster has two Weapons equipped, choose which of the two to attack with.

The caster makes a powerful jump, disappearing into the clouds before screaming downwards a split-second later. The resulting impact inflicts (4 × MAG) + d8, M. Armor Magical damage, and has an additional (M. ACC – 50), M. Evasion CoS for inflicting the Status Condition Armor Down (4).

A white glow surrounds the target, flaring up with enough force to rip a hole into space and time for one instant. Hastebreak has a CoS of (M. ACC – 50), M. Evasion; its actual effects depend on the status of the target. If it possesses the Status Conditions Haste or Agility Up, they will be canceled by Hastebreak. If it has the Status Condition Slow, but not the Status Conditions Agility Down or Agility Break, it will be afflicted with Agility Down (4). If it has Agility Down or Agility Break it will be afflicted with Slow (4); the same applies if it does not possess any Time-type Status Conditions, Haste, or Agility Up.

Regardless of how much MP the target currently possesses, Magic Hammer will never take away more than 999. The caster regains a number of Magic Points equal to the damage inflicted by Magic Hammer after modifying for M. ARM.

The caster jabs at the target, creating a stream of multi-colored spheres that rush out towards it and explode on impact. Make a standard Attack Action with whatever Weapon the caster has equipped when Drill Shot is cast, ignoring the Weapon’s Equipment Abilities; when calculating damage, ignore the target’s ARM and—where applicable—the Status Condition Protect. If the caster has two Weapons equipped, choose which of the two to attack with.

The caster is enveloped by a prismatic glow, creating a rapidly-expanding field which summons a sudden flash of white light to engulf them, gradually spreading out to cover their allies before fading.

A wave of invisible force crashes into the target, inflicting (Caster’s maximum HP – Caster’s Current HP) Magical Damage in the process.

All natural light suddenly ceases as a single spotlight begins to spin across the battlefield, drawing in tighter and tighter circles around the combatants until it stops on a single target, killing it stone dead. In order to determine the ‘lucky winner’ of this grisly fate, all combatants, active or otherwise, should make an immediate Percentile Roll once Roulette is cast. The highest-rolling combatant is immediately reduced to 0 HP, regardless of current HP, ARM or M. ARM values, or the Damage Cap.

A sinister globe of magical energy emerges from the caster’s body, drifting towards the target at a leisurely pace before disappearing into its body with a muted sucking sound.
