Strategy
Blast is the weakest elemental spell in the game. However, it is the only attack spell the healers have and is best used in the early game to level up quicker. When promoted, their roles are strictly healing (Vicars) or a mix of physical offense and healing (Master Monks), making this spell less useful in the later run.
Users
Blast can be used by the following classes:
- Priest [PRST]
- Vicar [VICR]
- Master Monk [MMNK]

- Blast is called Hellblast in some other Shining series games. Possibly changed for American consumers due to the use of the word "Hell".
