— In-game description

Blood Drain is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Blue Mage.

Flavor Text

Through the draining of blood, this spell saps a foe's aether, a portion of which is then absorbed by the caster. In nature, such habits first appeared in creatures such as bats and chigoes, who naturalists theorize developed the ability to absorb nutrients via blood over the course of centuries.

Tips

This will not restore a lot of MP (400 after accounting for MP Costs). Use this when you are at about half MP to keep a steady control alongside Lucid Dreaming.
If there are at least 4 targets, Divination Rune will restore more MP.
