Barspells are Enhancing Spells that increase Magic Evasion against specific elements or statuses. The resistance increased will depend on the spell, and they can typically be divided into two categories based on the kind of resistance they increase:
- Bar-element Spells : These increase Magic Evasion against a specific element.
- Bar-status Spells : These increase Magic Evasion against a specific status effect.
Only one spell from each category can be active at once. Status effects also often have an element, so pairing a Barspell of the appropriate element with the Barspell for the status effect you are trying to avoid will increase your Magic Evasion against that status even further. If you increase it enough, you should consistently Resist it. For instance:
- Paralysis is Ice-based. Barparalyzra and Barblizzara will both decrease the odds of it landing, and using both will have the maximum effect. Because one is Bar-status and the other is Bar-element, you can use both at the same time.
In addition to the two divisions above, the spells can be further divided into single target (Red Mage and Rune Fencer native) and AoE (White Mage native) versions. Despite White Mage possessing superior equipment options to enhance Barspells, single target Barspells will always overwrite AoE version regardless of potency. Apart from the targeting and potential enhancements, there is almost nothing different about these spells.

Increasing Effect/duration
The amount of the resistance increase (R) and the effect duration in seconds (D) are related to Enhancing Magic Skill (E) as follows:
File:Barspell duration/effect.png
Barspells have a base duration of 2 minutes 30 seconds and this can be increased to a maximum of 4 minutes.
Enhanced By
Gear
- Blessed Briault enhances Magic Defense Bonus of the corresponding element by +5
- Cleric's Pantaloons enhances resistance by +20
- Cleric's Pantaloons +1 enhances resistance by +22
Merit Points
- White Mage Group 1 Job-Specific Merit Points (+2 potency of Bar spells, +2 Magic Defense Bonus per upgrade)
A word of caution: Barspells will overwrite themselves, therefore if you have a full power White Mage use the spell then replace it with your Red Mage version, you are losing out on at least +86 Elemental Resistance, +15-29 Magic Defense Bonus and 8-10% damage nullification (which is exclusive to the job).
Increasing Status Barspell Potency
Very little is known about Status Barspells, because their potency is not easily viewable like Elemental Barspells. Their potency likely depends on Enhancing magic, though the specific equation is unknown, and they use a different equation for duration:
- Duration (seconds) = Enhancing Magic Skill × 2
The maximum duration is 8 minutes (480 seconds), which occurs at 240 Enhancing magic skill. Without Merits or Light Arts, this corresponds to level 77 for White Mage and level 72 for Red Mage.
