Other Information

April 3, 2019 Version Update
"The attack down effect of the black magic spell Bio has been adjusted. Numbers in parenthesis represent the value when affected by the Corsair ability Dark Shot.
Name Pre-adjustment → Post-adjustment
Bio 5% → 10%(13%)
Bio II 10% → 15%(18%)
Bio III 15% → 20%(23%)"

Dia / Bio Priority

Since Light and Dark are in opposition, whichever spell is higher level (requires a higher level job to use), overwrites the other.
Bio III > Dia III > Bio II > Dia II > Bio > Dia
Any "greater" magic will always overwrite the "lesser" one despite time it was cast.
Example: If Dia is cast, and Bio is cast afterwards, Dia will be overwritten. If Dia II is then cast, Bio will be overwritten. If Bio II is cast, Dia II will be overwritten. However, if Bio II is cast, followed by Dia II, both will remain in effect.Verification Needed
Note: This is not necessarily the case for player characters who have been hit with both spells.
Duration:
Duration is only affected by the level of Bio III's current merits.
Level 1: 30 > Level 2: 60 > Level 3: 90 > Level 4: 120 > Level 5: 150
