Flavor Text

Loosely based upon Aenc Thon's technique, which saw him wallop foes with a candy cane, this spell sweetens any duel with a rain of confections. The Fuath leader, for one, would not be averse to mages thus spreading the love.

Tips

Restores 1000 MP because Blue Mage has a set 10000 MP.
The mitigation effects are similar to Feint, which reduces physical damage.
In addition to when the mitigation is needed, use this sparingly alongside Lucid Dreaming to maximize on restoring MP.
