Magic Attack Bonus Effect[]

Each upgrade of this trait raises character's offensive spell damage by a certain percentage.
- See Calculating Magic Damage for the exact calculations.
- Repeats of this trait do not stack. For example, a Level 20 RDM/BLM will not receive two Magic Attack Bonus I traits.
Also enhances the power of elemental weapon skills such as Red Lotus Blade and Sanguine Blade.
Directly affects the damage of COR's Quick Draw.
- Quick Draw Damage formula = 2*(Gun base DMG + bullet base DMG)*(1+(MAB/100))*(staff bonus)*(Day/Weather Bonus).
- Corsair's Tricorne increases the total of the gun base damage and bullet base damage by 5. (Prior to being multiplied by two)
