Blaster

Accuracy +50%
Type Special Magic
Effect Inflicts non-elemental paralysis on the target
Status Paralysis
Used By Coeurl
Blaster is one of the most dangerous Abilities in the game, used only by Coeurls. It is dangerous because it is non-elemental, and thus unresistable. In terms of effect, it is similar to a Stop Spell cast by a Character with 10 intelligence, but without Stop's Elemental attribute.
