Radiant Ray

Radiant Ray is a direct magical attack of the Light school against one visible target. It allows this school to act offensively as well as help and protect. Its radiance in the story can be striking, but the actual damage is determined by standard resolution against magical defense. It is not automatic victory over every being associated with darkness.

The spell itself is not restricted to undead creatures and adds no unlisted bonus against them. It lists no blinding, curse removal, or area effect. Such abilities must be distinguished from those of other spells in the school. Using it depends on a suitable visible target, the attack result, and the party's follow-up in the particular encounter.

Exact effect: A direct light attack against the target's MDEF. Bonus: +2 to MATK. Target: 1 target within sight. Duration: instantaneous. Restrictions: —. Using it requires at least Intelligence 7, the appropriate casting ability, and knowledge of this spell. Meeting the numerical requirements alone does not grant knowledge of the spell.
