Date & Time: Always
Frequency: Always
World Name: All
Character Name: All
Monster Name: All monsters that deal physical attacks
Class/Level: Blue Mage Level 70
Party or Solo: Both
In-game Time: Always
Steps:
1. Be a Blue Mage and select "Veil of the Whorl" and "Ice Spikes" to be active actions.
2. Find a monster that uses physical attacks such as Ifrit (in The Bowl of Embers) or the Black Bat (in Sastasha).
3. Cast "Ice Spikes."
4. Immediately attack the monster and get hit by its physical attack. Check the amount of damage that you countered with.
5. While the "Ice Spikes" effect is still on, use "Veil of the Whorl."
6. Get hit by another physical attack. Check the amount of damage that you countered with.
7. When "Ice Spikes" is removed and you are still affected by "Veil of the Whorl," get hit by another physical attack. Check the amount of damage that you countered with.

When you are attacked in the 6th step with "Veil of the Whorl" and "Ice Spikes" on, the counter damage is close to the counter damage in the 7th step. Thus, if the player is affected by "Ice Spikes" and "Veil of the Whorl," then "Ice Spikes" is ignored and only "Veil of the Whorl" counters the physical attack. This interaction is not explained in the tooltips.
