For channeling for MP recovery, see Channeling.

Channeling spells are a group of spells that can be recast ("channeled") after a cast by waiting (with . or s). They currently consist of:

• Searing Ray
• Flame Wave
• Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling

Useful Info

Channeling for Searing Ray and Flame Wave uses their spell level for the first cast, then 1 MP for every turn channeled. Searing Ray can be channeled up to three times, and Flame Wave, two.

Maxwell's Capacitive Coupling instead uses channeling as a timer; after 3-7 turns waiting, it'll activate and instantly kill an enemy.
