Parsimony
Job Ability
- Reduces the MP cost of your next black magic spell by 50%.
- Obtained: Scholar Level 10
- Recast Time: Stratagem Charge
- Duration: 1 black magic spell or 60 seconds, whichever occurs first
Notes/Description
- Parsimony is a stratagem, which obeys different usage rules than typical Job Abilities.
- The 50% MP reduction for the next spell is based on the original cost and is not affected by the 10% reduction from Dark Arts.
- Conserve MP can still activate while Parsimony is in effect.
- Savant's Pants +1 and +2 cause Conserve MP to take effect every time during usage of this stratagem.
- The word parsimony means extreme or excessive economy or frugality, or stinginess. Unlike penury, which implies conservation out of necessity, parsimony implies conservation for the sake of prosperity.
