In the original free-to-play versions, Ruin I-III could be used by any party member equipped with a Ruin version of the Moogle signet. Each version of the spell dealt more damage depending on the summon's rank and had increased MP costs.
Additionally, two more unique versions of Ruin appear usable by Morrow. Rapid Ruin I-III are variants of Ruin taught from the Dad Bomb signet, which deals small non-elemental magic damage to a single enemy and hastens the user's next turn. All versions of the spell costs 32 MP to use. Lastly, Ruin Rush I-III are the strongest Ruin-type spells that deal non-elemental magic damage to a single enemy six times. The spells are taught from the Twintania signet and cost 64 MP to cast.
