Elemental booster[]
The following abilities and pieces of equipment boost fire-elemental damage:
In particular, the A parameter of the relevant damage formula is increased by 50%. Since the boost is applied to A (as opposed to M), the effect on the actual damage is higher than +50%, unless the target's magic defense (or defense for physical spells) is 0.
Elements can be boosted only once (i.e. the above methods do not stack).
