    Aetherial mimicry

    With the latest update to BLU all stances now have an effect on some spells but the description for aetherial mimicry: dps does not reflect this as it’s the only one that doesn’t say “augmenting certain blue magic spells” even though it now augments Matra magic.

    I’d suggest changing the description to something along the lines of:

    “Mirror the aetherial properties of your target, granting yourself a beneficial effect corresponding with the target’s role.
    If target is a tank, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Tank, increasing your defense.
    If target is a DPS, grants Aetherial Mimicry: DPS, increasing critical hit rate and direct hit rate by 20%.
    If target is a healer, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Healer, increasing healing magic potency by 20%.
    Augments certain blue magic spells based on the role that is copied.
    Cannot be cast on self.”

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.

    Nice catch.

    Maybe just put the augment effect in the same sentence as the beneficial effect to minimize the number of times it has to repeat that it's role based:

    If target is a tank, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Tank, increasing defense. [removed "your" for consistency]
    If target is a DPS, grants Aetherial Mimicry: DPS, increasing critical hit rate and direct hit rate by 20%.
    If target is a healer, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Healer, increasing healing magic potency by 20%.
    Cannot be cast on self. Effect ends upon reuse.
    They should even take it a step further and just drop the "If target is....grants" for each role, as the first line already says that it's role based, so all the if clauses are redundant.

    And finally, just get rid of "Aetherial Mimicry:" in Aetherial Mimicry's own help text (it's fine to leave it as-is in the buff bar and other spells' help texts).
