===Final Fantasy XI===
Stoneskin is a White Magic spell that grants the Stoneskin status, which absorbs a certain amount of HP damage. The protection offered by Stoneskin must be completely destroyed before the player or monster will start to take damage again, even from degenerative statuses like Poison, Burn, etc.
The amount of protection is determined by the caster's MND stat and Enhancing Magic skill. It is useful for all jobs, but it is used mostly by mages hoping to compensate for low physical Defense and low Hit Points by providing a buffer from damage. Merchants in Bastok Markets, Port San d'Oria, and Port Windurst will sell Stoneskin scrolls to citizens of their own nation, but only when that nation ranks 1st in the conquest campaign.
