Blitz (Ninjutsu)

Blitz, also known as Raijin and Raiton, is a recurring type of Ninjutsu magic in the Final Fantasy series. It manifests as a series of lightning strikes on enemies. In the Japanese versions of some games, the name Raijin is assigned to a Scroll that can be Thrown by Ninjas to deal lightning-elemental damage, rather than being cast as a spell. In these cases, the item has been translated to English as Lightning Scroll or Swift Bolt.
