Magnavolt is a level 7 Air/Earth smite-targeted spell that coats a target with a thin layer of magnetised metal and then fires a bolt of electricity at every visible enemy that is magnetised in this way.
Useful Info
Irresistibly inflicts the magnetised status on a smite-targeted creature for a short time, which reduces the target's EV to 0 and reveals invisible enemies. If a magnetised enemy dies, it leaves behind a stationary cloud of magnetised fragments for a brief while.
After inflicting the status, it fires a bolt at each statused enemy and each cloud of magnetised fragments. This means that the first time you cast this spell will fire 1 bolt, but repeatedly casting it on different targets will fire 2, 3, 4, and so forth. If you are standing on a cloud, you won't fire a bolt at yourself.
The bolts follow the same trajectory as any regular projectile, and stops once it hits the magnetised target. It's treated as if you aimed manually at the intended target's tile, so there will always be one (and only one) possible path per target. You can view possible paths by targeting this spell.
Strategy
This spell combos well with:
- Sources of MP regen or extra MP, such as Sif Muna and Vehumet, who can grant more consecutive casts of the spell.
- Low accuracy spells, like Plasma Beam and Bombard.
Beware that magnetised enemies can still move as normal, potentially changing the trajectory of each bolt. Killing an enemy affected by Magnavolt leaves a stationary cloud of fragments, which helps make the spell more predictable.
