Dia (Final Fantasy XI spell)

Dia is an Enfeebling White Magic spell from Final Fantasy XI. It is the first tier of Dia spells for players. 
==Obtained==
Dia can be cast by low-level Red Mages and White Mages. Adventurers who choose Red Mage as their first job are given a free Dia scroll. Merchants in each of the starting nations also sell it for a very low price.
==Use==
It deals a very small amount of light-elemental damage and applies a status effect that reduces the target's Defense and deals one point of additional light damage per tick over the course of a minute.
The higher-level Diaga offers the same effect against multiple targets.
The use of Dia conflicts with the use of Bio such that only one of the two may be active on an enemy at a time. Bio prevents Dia spells of equal or lower rank from being applied and dispels them if they are already present on a target. Though higher tiers of Dia can overwrite Bio in return, such as Dia III replacing Bio II, Bio's strongest form is ultimately insurmountable in this fashion. Monsters are sometimes able to inflict both Dia and Bio upon players, however.
