Mind

This article is about the gameplay statistic. For other uses, see Mind (Disambiguation).

Abbreviation: MND

A stat that determines the effectiveness of Healing Magic spells, White Magic Enhancing Magic spells and White Magic Enfeebling Magic spells.

MND increases resistance to White Magic spells as well as reducing base damage taken from them.
- Some people believe that MND increases resistance to all spells, not just White Magic, but there are no known published tests that show this conclusively. See Magical Resistance.

Mind also plays a large role in determining the damage of Chi Blast, Banish, Holy Bolts, and some Blue Mage spells such as Mind Blast and Magic Hammer.

Associated with the element of Water. Many water-based items add MND to a character's Stats. Example: Leviathan's Rod
