==Use==
Shining Topaz was Topaz Carbuncle's Assault II action, dealing area of effect (AoE) damage to nearby enemies.
Shining Topaz should not have been seen in normal gameplay. Summoners should have completed the quest 5 levels before they learned Egi Assault II, upgrading Topaz Carbuncle to Titan-Egi. However, as Egi Assault II was also an Arcanist spell, if the player wished to see Shining Topaz they could simply remove their to revert to Arcanist, forcing Topaz Carbuncle to be used instead of Titan-Egi, though this had little purpose beyond self-imposed challenges. In such challenges, Shining Topaz significantly outperformed Emerald Carbuncle's Assault II, , boasting greater potency in a single hit than Glittering Emerald's total damage over time.
