• Adloquium
• Succor
• Concitation

Notes

• The recast time of this action is 120s until Enhanced Deployment Tactics is learned at Lv. 88.
• Most commonly used to distribute the barrier effect of Adloquium for a stronger party barrier than casting Succor. This usage is commonly referred to as Spreadlo by players.
• The potency of Adloquium (and thus, the Galvanize barrier effect) can be further enhanced by Dissipation, Recitation, Fey Illumination and Protraction from the scholar themselves.
  • Other jobs also have actions that increase HP recovered by healing actions (e.g., Rampart, Thrill of Battle, Krasis, Mantra, Nature's Minne), helping to createan exceptionally strong shield in anticipation of a hard-hitting party-wide attack.
• This action can still be used on party members that do not have Galvanize, which will do nothing and therefore waste this cooldown. This action also cannot be executed on alliance members; this action will instead target the scholar themselves if an alliance member is targetted.
• Manifestation also applies Galvanize, whose effect can also be extended to party members. Note that Seraphism cannot be executed while Dissipation is active, and vice-versa. Furthermore, Recitation will not apply to Manifestation.
