Blink increases the target's evasion level, allowing them more chances to evade attacks. Each level of the Spell allows for another potential evasion level increase. Blink does not increase evasion rate, though, so it's a lot more effective when used on a Character with a high evasion percentage. This Spell can completely shut down Monsters who rely on physical attacks when cast on a fighter with high shield skill and evasion. It is well worth leveling throughout the game.
