One of the best spells to use for skilling up Enfeebling Magic is the spell Dia.

Barspells for Enhancing
Cure for Healing
Banish for Divine
Bio for Dark Magic
Bards can cycle through Therenody & Etudes

(Make sure you check which food is for Offense Magic and Non-Offense Magic)

While spamming Dia on mobs nonstop using skill up food according to the range level of each food, You can level up enfeebling magic pretty fast so please do not hold back on using these foods.

At higher skill levels 300+, spamming on bosses or highest level mobs seem to give you higher skill points. So I will give you the example of how you can survive and achieve this in Abyssea La Theine Plateau off the NM Megamaw Mikey.

First off Megamaw Mikey likes to cast Stone spells such as Stone V and Stonega III. In order to survive these spells you will need the following:

Atma of the Earth Wyrm: Earth Resist+: Superior (+100), Damage Taken-: Minor (+10%),

Atma of the Minikin Monstrosity: Intelligence+: Superior (+50),
Refresh+: Major (10MP/tick), Enmity -: Minor (+value)

Atma of the Vicissitude : Defense+:Major (+40), "Magic Def. Bonus":Minor (+value), "Regen":Major (15HP/tick).

Notice that these atmas give you Defense, Regen, Magic Defense Bonus and Resistance to Earth.

With Barstone, Shell V you should be able to lower the damage to a very extreme minimal. Keeping Stoneskin up also helps. There are also other gears such as Merman earring, Augmented Dark Rings from Gold Chests in Konschtat Highlands Abyssea, Slipor Sash and Magavan clogs available to give you additional Magic Defense Bonus.

Bards can also use Earth Carols.
