Spell Oil in Final Fantasy XII
Oil is a recurring ability in the series, first appearing as a spell in the Ivalice Alliance. It inflicts the Oil status effect, which causes the target to become vulnerable to Fire-elemental damage, or simply inflicts Fire or non-elemental damage to one target.
Appearances
Final Fantasy VII
Oil is the attack of the Hard Attacker enemy, which inflicts Fire physical damage to one party member.
Final Fantasy XII
Oil is a Green Magick spell that causes the Oil status. Its License is Green Magick 5, which costs 40 License Points. Some enemies (most notably fire-elemental enemies) can cast Oil as well in tandem with fire spells afterwards.
The International Zodiac Job System version retains Oil as Green Magick with its License being Green Magick 1 that still costs 40 LP. Oil can be learned by five job classes; White Mage, Machinist, Red Mage, Time Mage and Black Mage, although Machinist must obtain the Esper License for Exodus first.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Oil spell can be cast by the Green Mage, who learns it from the Sledgehammer for 250 AP. It costs 8 MP to use.
