Enhancing Magic governs all magic that enhances the user and sometimes his party. Effects range from buffs such as Protect (physical defence up), Shell (magic defence up) and Haste (speed up attacks and spell recasting time) to transportation spells such as Warp (return you to your home point) and the white mage teleport spells.

While no job has a very high rating in Enhancing Magic skill, Red Mages and Scholars (under the effect of Light Arts) have the highest. Although some Enhancing spells are not affected by the caster's skill, e.g. Haste, Warp (they give you the effect or transport you, there's no degree of success), others such as the various enspells and Stoneskin grow more powerful with increasing skill. Higher skill in Enhancing Magic also, as with skill in any magic discipline, helps to prevent spells governed by it from being interrupted while being cast.

Job Ratings

*Scholar's Enhancing Magic skill increases to B+ rating under Light Arts.

See: Combat Skills for more Skill information.

Barspells

• Resistance gained from Barspells = ((Enhancing Magic Skill / 5) + 40), rounded down.
• Have a base duration of 2 minutes 30 seconds. Above 180 enhancing skill, duration is increased by 0.8 seconds per point, until the maximum of 4 minutes.

Stoneskin

Note: Further testing is required to verify this formula is fully accurate for Horizon. Please update this section with the correct information and add your testing notes to the talk page.

• If (Enhancing Magic Skill ÷ 3) + MND < 80 : Stoneskin Strength = (Enhancing Magic Skill ÷ 3) + MND
  • This equation is likely wrong because it is discontinuous with the below one.
  • If 80 ≤ (Enhancing Magic Skill ÷ 3) + MND ≤ 130 : Stoneskin Strength = (2×Enhancing Magic Skill ÷ 3) + 2*MND - 60
  • If (Enhancing Magic Skill ÷ 3) + MND ≥ 130 : Stoneskin Strength = Enhancing Magic Skill + 3×MND - 190
