Lancet , also known as DrgSwrd, Lance, DragonSword, or Spirit Surge, is an ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually associated with the Dragoon job class. It allows characters to absorb HP and MP from their opponents.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy V ===
Lance (also called DrgSwrd) is the Level 2 ability of the Dragoon job, learned for 150 ABP. Its power is the same as Drain, but has half the power of Osmose. When used by the Dragoon, it uses the Dragoon's poor Magic stat. It cannot miss.
=== Final Fantasy IX ===
Freya uses Lancer to damage an enemy's HP and MP. It can be learned from Partisan, Coral Ring, and Dragon Wrist for 20 AP. Lancer is 20% stronger than Freya's normal Attack and the amount of damage Lancer does to MP is equal to 1/16 of the amount of HP damage dealt.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
Lancet is a Special ability that absorbs a low amount of HP and an equal amount of MP if available (which is high relative to most characters' MP) from one opponent. If Kimahri uses it on certain fiends, he will have a chance to learn a new Ronso Rage. The ability's Spell Power is 6, and it uses the Magical formula for determining damage.
Lancet does damage to its user if it is used on the undead and opponents in Zombie status. The damage from Lancet is considered neither physical or magical, instead falling into "special" damage category, meaning it will be unaffected by Protect or Shell.
