Divine Magic

This branch of magic embodies the spiritual energy within white magic and utilizes it into several powerful forms. Although divine magic can be harnessed into devastating blasts of pure light energy, this power is often ineffective without spiritual or mental inspiration.

There are five types of Divine Magic spells:

• Banish : Deals light-based damage to target, lowers Undead's damage resistance for a certain amount of time.
• Holy : A fast-casting spell that deals Light damage to an enemy.
• Flash : A fast-casting spell that temporarily blinds an enemy, greatly lowering its accuracy.
• Repose : Puts an enemy to sleep.
• Enlight : Adds light damage to your attacks.

Divine Magic Skill is the skill base from which Divine Magic derives. Divine Magic skill lowers the resistance rate of offensive divine spells, influencing whether a Divine Magic spell is resisted or not. Divine Magic Skill also helps defend against spell interruptions for divine spells.

All Divine Magic is Light based; thus, it is especially powerful against Undead monsters.

Note: Red Mages have no natural Divine Magic spells, despite having Divine Magic skill. This is because Dia, Diaga, and Dia II used to be Divine Magic, but were later changed to Enfeebling Magic. They also used to have Flash, but it was removed. Still, the native divine skill allow Red Mages to use it with better potency as well as to level it up when casting divine spells acquired by using a White Mage support job. Scholars also have Divine Magic skill with no native Divine Magic spells, though they are able to utilize such spells granted by a subjob at full effect as a result.

• If you have Paladin leveled to at least level 85, then a relatively quick way to increase your divine magic skill is to repeatedly cast the Enlight spell on yourself while standing next to your Mog House. When you run out of MP, enter your Mog House to quickly recover your MP back to 100%. It is recommended to use a Red Mage support job and keep Refresh up to reduce downtime. Note that this will take a while since Enlight has a recast time of 30 secons.

• An alternative way to increase your divine magic skill is to practice against high level Worms. Silence the worms so they cannot fight back with magic, then repeatedly cast Banish, Banish II and Flash on them from a distance. It is recommended use a Red Mage support job and keep Refresh up to reduce downtime.
