Flavor Text
Credited as the source of the “bomb” voidsent family's name, Self-destruct, when used by blue mages, converts the entirety of its caster's energy into fire-aspected aether to cause an explosion. The application of oil has been observed to make it more effective─though likely also more painful.

Tips
Acquisition Tips
- Be sure to wait until the Bomb mob to use self-destruct to kill itself. Do Not kill it beforehand, only tag it.
Other Tips
