Blue Mage Group One Merit: Physical Potency

[Prothscar]

Hello, me again,

The description and name for the Blue Mage group one merit "Physical Potency" is rather ambiguous. The merits enhance the accuracy of physical spells, and have no other effect on physical spells whatsoever. This often leads to confusion and questions regarding whether or not this merit enhances the actual strength of physical blue magic.

Naming the merit "Physical Accuracy" and changing the help message to "Increases the accuracy of physical blue magic spells by 2." would be much easier for people to understand.

Hi Prothscar!

Thank you very much for your inquiry.

We had the devs check this one out on their end--just to make sure it wasn't a bug with the ability, because the English perfectly matches the Japanese--and they informed us that the ability is, in fact, correctly increasing damage and is not erroneously increasing accuracy.

I apologize for any confusion this issue may have caused.

Hm, that's interesting, I'll have to take a look at the trait more closely. Thanks very much for checking that out!
