When used, Lightning conjures wisps of black energy around the target, dealing magic non-elemental damage and inflicting the Debrave status for 30 seconds, with its duration depending on its ability level. The ability has an ATB cost of 25 at level 1, with the lowest ATB cost at level 5 decreasing to 15.

Debrave has a set potency of 0.20 at all levels, with increases of 0.04 - 0.06 being naturally available through synthesis passives. Its potency can also be further increased by equipping rapier weapons and the Skeleton's Earrings accessories. Like other ailment abilities, Debrave has no stagger power, meaning it cannot increase or stabilize an enemy's stagger wave.

Debrave is also used by the Gaunt, Gaunt Ω, Grendel, and Parandus enemies. It is also used by the final boss during their first phase.
