Accession/Manifistation: How it works

The two Stratagems that Scholars get which allows the next spell cast to become AoE instead of single target are Accession and Manifestation.

Accession: Light Arts Strategem (Level 40)

Extends the effect of your next healing or enhancing white magic spell to party members within range.
MP cost is doubled and casting time is doubled.*
~~MP cost is tripled and casting time is doubled.~~**

Accession-able Spells
Healing	Enhancing
Cure I-IV	*Storm Spells	Aquaveil
Erase	Bar* Spells	Blink
*na Spells	En* Spells	Deodorize
	Protect I-IV	Invisible
	Shell I-IV	Sneak
	Regen I-II	Phalanx
		Stoneskin

Manifestation: Dark Arts Strategem (Level 40)

Extends the effect of your next dark or enfeebling black magic spell to all targets in range.
MP cost is doubled and casting time is doubled.*
~~MP cost is tripled and casting time is doubled.~~**
This will – like other AoE’s on enemies – will rid of all shadow images an enemy has up.

Manifestation-able Spells
Dark	Enfeebling
Klimaform	Bind
Absorb-* Spells	Blind
Aspir	Dispel
Bio I-II	Gravity
Drain	Poison
Stun	Sleep I-II

*MP cost is doubled from the *BASE MP* – Under Light Arts/Dark Arts, you receive a 10% MP cost reduction, this reduction does not apply for Accession’s/Manifestation’s “Double MP Cost”. For example: Stoneskin costs 29 MP. Under Light Arts it costs 26MP. However, when using Accession, it costs 29*2=58MP instead of 26*2=52MP.

**Prior to the March 2008 update, Accession/Manifestation required three times MP cost of the spell. The update changed it to two times.
