Magic Attack

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Magic Attack is specific to the Blue Mage job and is applied via the Job Ability Convergence.

Unlike Magic Attack Bonus, which augments the potency of all offensive magic, Quick Draw, and certain Weaponskills, Magic Attack is a direct percentage increase in magical Blue Magic spell damage. For offensive magical spells that are unaffected by the 7 primary attributes, such as Heat Breath and 1000 Needles, each point of Convergence adds a 5% direct damage increase, with a maximum of 25% additional damage under a fully merited Convergence.

Magic attack can only be applied to magical Blue Magic spells; it does not affect physical Blue Magic.

There is currently no known equipment that directly enhances this trait.
