Absorb Spells
From HorizonXI Wiki
These spells directly take a target`s base stat, inflicting a penalty on the target and giving a bonus to the caster. These spells are somewhat unique in that they depend on the main job level of a player (regardless of the job) even when Dark Knight is set as sub job. The formula is as follows:
- Base Absorbed = Floor(3 + (Job Level÷5))
It is worth noting that the potency of these spells is not enhanced by Dark Magic Skill. Their accuracy is enhanced by it, and Resisted Absorb spells will be given half duration or have no effect (two-state spells).
