 [[Static Discharge]] creates an arc that travels through adjacent targets. Spreading to multiple monsters, discharges are a somewhat effective way to control crowds. These arcs can harm you, but at a heavily reduced rate. When monsters happen to get in melee range to you, it's a good spell for general damage.
-[[Airstrike]] increases in effectiveness when its target has open space around it; you, other monsters, and walls count as obstructions. It's a bit too MP expensive to cast at first, while Shock is sufficient for a while. Once you can afford multiple castings, Airstrike remains useful for its perfect accuracy and [[smite-targeting]], able to hit pesky enemies no matter the circumstance.
+[[Airstrike]] increases in effectiveness when its target has open space around it; you, other monsters, and walls count as obstructions. Most of its damage comes from the empty space bonus (which doesn't scale with power), so it's very powerful in the early game. It's a bit MP-expensive, though, so Shock and Static Discharge can suffice when max MP is low.
 [[Swiftness]], by increasing your movement speed, can be a lifesaver -- but only if you have enough MP to cast it! Always keep an eye out on your MP; even more so than other casters. And try to keep an escape route ''somewhat'' close by; once the enchantment runs out, your movement speed will be slowed, instead.

-[[Shock]] is inaccurate, but hits twice as hard thanks to its ability to bounce and [[doublezap]] in walls. It'll also pierce through enemies with no range reduction. The targeter will try to attempt to calculate a good angle, though perhaps not always the best angle available. Read the [[doublezap]] article for more details.
