Self-destruct

Flavor Text

This technique covers the blue mage's body in oil, much like a gigantoad's slime would its own, allowing the caster to slip and slide away from foes' attacks. Though most consider it uncouth at best, make no mistake─its devotees are few, but ardent.

Tips

Acquisition Tips

Toad Oil will be used when you're in melee range of the enemy.

Other Tips

Using Toad Oil before Self-destruct greatly increases the potency from 1,500 to 1,800.
The increased evasion does not impact most bosses, making this spell have very limited uses. While it boosts Self-destruct, in most (single-target) situations, it is better to use a buffed Final Sting (2,000 potency) instead.
