Akh Morn is a pet ability from Final Fantasy XIV used by the Summoner's Demi-Bahamut when commanded by Enkindle Bahamut, dealing massive damage in an area of effect. In Dragonspeak, "Akh Morn" means "circle of death" (死の輪, shi no wa?).

Mechanics

	Akh Morn Demi-Bahamut	Ability Pet action
Effects	Deals unaspected magic damage to target and nearby enemies Target is hit for full damage; potency is reduced by 50% for all remaining enemies
Interactions	Executed when commanded by Enkindle Bahamut
Traits	Summoner pets have a hidden trait that reduces pet damage by 20% Maim and Mend II: Increases pet damage by 30%
Base damage formula: $Damage = \lfloor Potency * f(Intelligence_{DMG}) * f(Determination) \rfloor * f(Magic Damage) \rfloor * 0.8 \rfloor * 1.3 \rfloor$ Where potency is 650 for main target and 325 for other enemies.

Use

Akh Morn deals massive damage to a single target and splash damage to nearby enemies. While it suffers from a 50% potency dropoff after the first hit, its naturally high potency means it is still one of the most potent AoE actions in the Summoner's arsenal. This makes it a versatile option the Summoner will want to use regardless how many enemies they are facing. With Enkindle Bahamut's 10 second recast, Summoners should be able to get two Akh Morns out of Demi-Bahamut's duration.
