Charge is an enemy ability, used by Rhyos and Protochimera. It inflicts major non-elemental damage to one party member as well as Poison.

Final Fantasy XII
Charge is a Technick that enables the user to restore a small amount of MP, however, if the Technick misses, the user's MP is reduced to 0. The Technick has a higher success rate if the user has low amount of MP, and will always work if the user has less than 1% of the max MP remaining.

It is licensed for 30 License Points that can be bought in Rabanastre, Nalbina and Bhujerba for 1,700 gil. The success rate is calculated by the following formula:


 * 1 - (current MP / max MP + 0.01)


 * MP recovery = Random (Lv ~ 1.33Lv)

Higher the character's level, the more MP they can recover.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, the Technick is sold in Bhujerba for 1,500 gil. It can be used by the mage job classes: White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage and Time Mage.

Charge can be combined with the Arcane Magick Syphon to recharge MP rapidly.
