Dispelga, a technique from Final Fantasy XIII, has been added as a regular Saboteur spell learnable by Serah. There are two new abilities available for Serah and Noel to learn: Wound and Woundga, which slightly reduce the target's maximum HP. Pain, Fog, and Curse cannot be used by Serah and Noel, while Slow and Daze are no longer present at all.
The physical Saboteur spells featured in Final Fantasy XIII-2 deal more damage than the magical versions, but have a lower chain bonus, functioning more like a Commando's abilities. They also deal less wound damage. Monsters that have access to the physical abilities can also use the magical versions at will.
