Spellbound, also known as Augment Maintenance, Defense Maintenance, Buff Duration, Buff: Duration, and Soul Voice, is an ability or effect that increases the time status effects last.

Hope Estheim's Vidofnir and Sazh Katzroy's Spica Defenders weapons have the Defense Maintenance and Augment Maintenance abilities, respectively, which further increase the duration of buffs in those groups. These weapons are also able to provide the Buff Duration synthesis.
Oerba Dia Vanille and Oerba Yun Fang have multiple weapons that also provide Buff Duration as a synthesis.

The Synergist again naturally boosts durations due to their role bonus and Boon. Serah Farron and Noel Kreiss are able to equip the synthesis abilities "Buff Duration" and "Buff: Duration"; one affects buffs cast by the user while the other affects buffs cast onto the user.
