Aren't all the -helix spells enfeebles? Dekarguy 01:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

It is reported that they are enfeebling, but do not work with Manifestation... which I think is silly, but there you have it. --◄Chrisjander► t/ c 01:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Was it really reported, or did the guy who made the helix pages just choose a template at random? Most people are guessing they're elemental, but we have no idea really. I've never seen anyone claim they were enfeebling on forums, etc. --Nateypoo 17:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Helix spells are not enfeebles and rather are elementals because they have no harmful status effect on the mob. They don't lower resistance to another element like BLM elemental enffebles and they dont give normal enfeeble statuses. They purely do damage to the mob over an amount of time. You could argue that poison is similar in that it doesn't add any status effect, but it's not an elemental spell (as in it does not do elemental damage). --Yamoto 14:17, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

They were elemental. The discussion you responded to is over a year old... --Nateypoo 01:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

• Just a side note that i found rather weird. Today I was in a campaign and no one was there so I decided to kill a bee. It linked with 3 other bee's and I tried Manifestation -> Sleep 3 different times and it only effected ONE of the bees. I'm not sure why, just seems weird and maybe someone could look into it.

Manifestation Absorbs

It has come to my attention that a sch/drk can perform Manifestation to make absorb spells AoE. If (hypothetically) say a scholar were to absorb-VITga in a campaign, would he/she gain multiple quantities of drained VIT? As in, would each absorbed stat stack? If testing can be done to confirm this, it would be much appreciated. (Coronawolf)

Hmm...an interesting concept...I'll see if I can have my LS buddy try that out...that would be something to see! --Yamoto 14:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

No, the status buff does not stack. I believe it will still debuff all the mobs though. --Nateypoo 20:22, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
