Celebrant job command. Unleashes spirit forces obtained through the darkest of contracts.Description

Zalmour and Bremondt must be equipped with a sword to use the Spellblade abilities. However, the celebrant job cannot equip swords, and neither Zalmour or Bredmondt have the knight's Equip Swords in any of their fights, meaning the abilities can never be used.

The formula for healing/damage is as follows:

$Magick Attack \times PWR \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)$

The formula for the success of inflicting statuses is as follows:

$(Magick Attack + PWR) \times (Faith/100) \times (Target Faith/100)$

All Spellblade's chants were left disabled as dummied content in the PS version, but the data exists within the game. The chants are enabled and re-localized in The Ivalice Chronicles.
