Ability	Job Level	Cost	Description
Heart Strike	1	1 BP	Unleash an attack for a guaranteed critical hit that deals two times the damage of a conventional attack.
Abate Light	2	1 slot	Reduce damage taken light-elemental attacks. Note that you will not receive further reduction if this ability is used along with items with similar effects. Light nullification effects take precedence over reduction effects.

Giant Slayer	4	16 MP	Deal 1.5 times the damage of a conventional attack to one opponent with more HP than you.
Magic Critical	5	1 slot	Has a 15% chance of a critical hit when using magic. A critical hit will double the amount of damage or recovery.
Default Guard	6	1 slot	Reduce the amount of damage received during Default by 75%.
Rampart	7	2 BP	Form a shield around all allies that prevents one physical attack.
Item Critical	8	1 slot	Has a 15% chance of a critical hit when using an item. A critical hit will double the amount of damage or recovery.
Radiant Blast	9	40 MP	Unleash a light-based physical attack on one target that ignores Default's damage reduction effect and deals 1.5 times the damage of a conventional attack.
Critical Amp	10	2 slots	The damage dealt from critical hits will be 2.5 times normal. Note that this effect applies to magic and item critical hits as well.
BP Limit Up	11	1 slot	Raise the BP limit by one, up to a maximum of 4.
Desperation	12	—	Attack by adding the value of your physical defense to your physical attack. However, your physical defense will be reduced to minimum for that turn. *The lower limit for P.Def is 75%.
Armor Lore	13	1 slot	Raise aptitude for armor to S.
Heaven's Gate	14	3 BP	Make a number of random light elemental attacks equal to BP.

Note: Item Critical's critical rate is calculated per character. Meaning if an item is used on a group, the critical effect of the item will vary between characters. Example: Using Bomb Arm on a group of monsters will have a chance to trigger Item Critical on only one (or two) monster out of three.
