Topic: FF4A - Lightbringer and others

[Deathlike2]

I can't seem to find the old thread, but if someone finds it, please merge the threads.

The FF4A specfic weaponry: Lightbringer, Fiery Hammer, and Abel's Lance all have a chance to cast a spell, particularly when the attack command is used. The frequency of the spell casting is unknown (I believe Abel's Lance depends moreso on Kain vs target's level, but I could be wrong).

The spell cast is powered by the respective stats that normally power the magic. The status of the character does not matter as the spell is cast independantly of the attacker's current status. However, Blind is the only impactful status that actually affects the magic damage dealt.

Here's an addendum to this info...

The attached spell fails to be cast when the target dies from the weapon's attack... but also if the weapon misses its target.

This is ultimately why you would almost never see the extra spell being cast on the Platinum Toad as it casts Blink when hurt with physical attacks.
