== Description ==
 
[[Image:Attack Up (Status Effect).png]] '''Enspell''' is a beneficial [[:category:Status Effects|status effect]] that enchants the player weapon with magic. Benefitting characters gain an "[[Additional Effect]]" that adds some magical damage to each of their standard melee strikes.
Although Enspells usually cause a relatively small amount of damage per hit, the overhead damage they add to each strike can significantly alter the weapon's overall DPS (damage per second).
 
"Enspell" is an unofficial classification created by FFXI players, named after the family of spells learned to bestow Enspell effects.  The names of the actual spells all begin with an En- prefix, followed by the name of one of the  standard elements, such as [[Aero]], to produce [[Enaero]].
 
== Notes ==
* Enspell ignores physical [[defense]], but can be [[resist]]ed.
:* The damage can be reduced by [[Shell]] or by "Magic Damage Taken -%" modifiers, but it is not affected by [[Magic Attack Bonus]] or [[Magic Defense Bonus]].
* The amount of base damage an Enspell deals per hit primarily depends on the [[Enhancing Magic]] of the caster (exceptions made for [[Enlight]] and [[Endark]], which are based on Divine and Dark magic respectively).  As with other sources of elemental damage, Enspell damage might also be modified by the day and weather effects present.
:*Standard Enspell damage can be built to a maximum of 21 points of damage per hit with sufficient Enhancing Magic skill.  In order to achieve a modified damage/hit figure higher than 21, it is necessary to utilize day/weather effects, attack an enemy that takes increased damage to magic (such as a [[Qutrub]] or [[Sewer Syrup]]), or utilize certain pieces of equipment (see below).
:*Enspell II damage will start at the cap for Enspell I, and then build up by +1 each first hit until it hits the cap of twice that of Enspell I. (ie 42 damage)
* Enspell damage can be maximized with low-delay weapons such as [[Hornetneedle]] which deal a greater number of hits per minute compared to slower weapons.
* Because only one [[Additional Effect]] can take effect for any given melee hit, having an Enspell active will override and prevent any other potential Additional Effect(s) from occurring on these hits.  Enspells will always take precedence, whether the alternative Additional Effect comes as a modifier on a weapon such as the [[Hellfire Sword]], or as an after-effect from another ability, such as [[Drain Samba]].
** Enspell II-effects only occur on the very first swing of an attack round, regardless of dual wielding, multi-hit weapons or traits. If the first swing of an attack round misses, no additional effect will occurs on that round. Regardless of whether the first swing hits or misses, any remaining swings can still receive additional effects like [[Drain Samba]].
* Enspell damage dealt, as with most other Additional Effects, does not affect the [[enmity]] of the player that inflicted it.
* Enspell damage does not affect [[TP]] gained by the monster or player being hit.
* Enspell damage, as well as any other Additional Effect that causes extra damage, is treated separately from the weapon damage for purposes of damage reduction, such as through [[Phalanx (Status Effect)|Phalanx]] effects.  For instance, if the target is protected by Phalanx, any successful hit on the target will have its damage reduced twice -- once for the standard physical damage, and once for the Enspell damage.
 
== How to remove the effect ==
 
*This effect can be [[dispel]]led.
*This effect is removed upon zoning to another area.
*This effect can be removed manually.
*Casting a spell which gives a different Enspell effect will replace this effect with the new one.
*Being KO'd.
