So... Just following up on this. Anyone use the Dark Arts Reraise ability for anything else useful?

I've gotten into Manifestation + Enlightenment + Ice Spikes. Enlightenment gives that extra enhancing skill for spike potency that would normally be missing in the Dark Arts that's required to AOE spikes. Not huge of course, but why not? I need to use it for something in that 60 minute reraise duration.

I'm guessing you're asking now because of the new INT/MND bonus though. I can't think of anything outside the obvious, and functionally pointless, for that.

@Eric : I hadn't thought about break, but have actually done the same thing now that you mention it. I remember I used to use Enlightenment for Sleep II before it became subbable with /RDM. Break is similar now. I was doing skeles for the wind magian trial and converted too close once. Don't ask why I built a wind magian...

Definitely not criticizing you for doing a Wind magian. On my to-do list. Holding out incase SE caves and gives out a Prism I staff that you have to trade all Magian I staves in for (similarly a Prism II or III staff, but I don't care about those).

As for the INT/MND bonus, it might be nice for the odd cure you have to cast on Dark Arts. That and/or the extra 20INT oomph (supposing full merits) to tack on to a powerful Helix when you need it to count.
