This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.— In-game description
Force Field is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.
Flavor Text
Originally employed by Sephirot, the Fiend, to render foes vulnerable to attacks, this spell has been adapted for the mage's own protection. Due to the field's intrinsic instability, however, it cannot simultaneously grant physical and magical benefits, only one or the other.

Tips
Acquisition Tips
- While uncommon (and strongly not recommended), it is possible to learn this spell directly from Sephirot in his extreme trial, rather than from the totem.
Other Tips
- This action applies one of two possible buffs at random:
Physical Vulnerability Down or 
Magic Vulnerability Down. - Due to its random nature, this spell is inconsistent, and generally de-prioritized as a mitigation tool. For specific fights that deal large amounts of damage with autoattacks and magical tankbusters, it can prove useful for reducing a portion of the damage.
