Ramuh (Final Fantasy V)

Ramuh is an optional level 2 summon in Final Fantasy V. It is a lightning-elemental summon who uses Judgment Bolt, an attack dealing lightning damage to all enemies. Ramuh is one of the iconic summoned monsters in Final Fantasy.
Ramuh can be used via Summon and Call once obtained, and also via Magic Lamp. With the latter two, the summoner uses no MP.
==Obtained==
Ramuh is fought in Bartz's world as a random encounter around the forests near Istory. Using the item the boss drops in the menu gains Ramuh as a summon.
If not obtained then, Ramuh can be encountered in the castle section of the Interdimensional Rift, on the upper level, outside of the actual castle itself.
==Stats==
Ability	MP cost	Power	Effect
 	12 	53 	Lightning-elemental damage to all enemies.
Ramuh's damage Judgment Bolt is calculated as follows:
:Attack = 53 + (0..(53/8))
:M = (Level \times Magic~Power)/256 + 4
:Defense = Magic~Defense
:Damage = (Attack - Defense) \times M
As a summon, there is no split damage property, and Judgment Bolt is not affected by reflect.
If the target absorbs lightning, it is healed instead of damaged; if it is immune to lightning, the attack misses. If the target resists lightning, the Attack modifier in the formula is halved, but if it is weak to lightning, the modifier is doubled and the attack ignores the target's Magic Defense.
Several pieces of equipment increase the power of elemental attacks by 50%. The bonus is applied before subtracting the opponent's Magic Defense. The weapons that boost lightning are the Black Mage's Thunder Rod and Magus Rod, and the Ranger's Thunder Bow. The mix Elemental Power augments all elements.
==Use==
Ramuh performs the attack Judgment Bolt when summoned, dealing moderate lightning-elemental damage to all enemies. Judgment Bolt's damage power is actually higher than the Black Magic spell Thundara, and unlike Thundara, its damage is not split when group-cast and it cannot be reflected. As such, Judgment Bolt is better both against single targets and groups of enemies.
Ramuh is the most powerful summon around the time it is acquired. It deals more damage than both Ifrit and Shiva, meaning it is the strongest against enemies with no elemental affinity, though they may be better against enemies with weaknesses to their various elements. When Titan and later summons become available, Ramuh is outclassed.
