Meikyo Shisui (ability)

Meikyo Shisui is a recurring ability in the series.

Final Fantasy XI
Meikyo Shisui the Samurai Two-hour ability. It will instantly grant the Samurai 300% TP, a full TP bar, and a Special Ability status effect will appear for the next 30 seconds thereafter. During this time, the samurai's Weapon skill attacks will only cost 100% TP, where normally they would cost him his entire TP allotment. This allows a Samurai to quickly perform at least three Weapon skills. With special abilities, like Meditate, and the proper equipment, more are possible inside the allotted period of time. One of the most interesting qualities of this ability is that a samurai can perform a skillchain with himself.

Like Astral Flow, the effect of Meikyo Shisui cannot be stolen from monsters by means of Larceny. This is because monster Meikyo Shisui is handled by means of monster scripting rather than the same status effect that players receive.
