    I never understood why Holy required so much MP to cast. I does maybe the same if not less damage than Banish III most of the time, and has one hell of a recast.

    1k+Holy doesn't sound so much like good macc as it is maybe good healing numbers with Solace on. Solace only effects Holy damage, no other light-based damage spell, and your recorded healing numbers get erased with each cast. Misery increases Banish damage based on other damage dealt, though - similarly to Solace+Holy - casting a Banish spell erases that recorded damage and you have to start from scratch again.

    I'm pretty sure the light-based nukes were designed just as a small damage bonus to debuff undead (for about what seems like the same duration as Flash's blindness), and not meant to cause even RDM-worthy damage. Though I gotta say, making trials that rely on light-based damage kills is a pain without any decent damaging light-based nuke spells.

    Through the confinement of Valefor I found myself in the depths of Hades. It was there that I was thrown into Cerberus' Den. Only through Carbuncle's light could I find my way.

    I always thought they balanced the mp cost of Holy with the speed of the casting.

    unfortunatly no, it still costs a rediculous amount of mp, considering the crap damage it does....unless it's been powered up by a significant number of cures or w/e, it barely does a number of damage greater than the number of the mp cost :/
