Name		 MP
The damage calculation of the ability; P or M represent the user's physical or magic base damage, which is based on their Attack/Magic atk and Level; damage based on P or M is reduced by 1/3 when used against multiple targets; HP or MP are those of the target of the ability; abilities marked with an asterisk (*) use special damage formulas; a dagger (†) indicates the ability ignores Defense/Magic def; healing, MP restoration, HP draining, and MP draining or damaging abilities are indicated by their text color
Base Damage
The estimated average amount of damage this ability will deal to a target with 128 Defense or Magic def when used by this monster (3/4 of base damage); actual damage will vary considerably based on the target's actual Defense or Magic def and other factors, but this is a good measure of the relative danger of this ability; a dagger (†) indicates that the ability deals set damage or otherwise ignores Defense and Magic def; numbers in italics are based on factors that will change during combat and should be considered very rough estimates; healing, MP restoration, HP drain, and MP drain or damage are indicated by text color
