This section details various skills and abilities available in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, focusing on their effects, AP costs, and associated equipment.

Awareness (200 AP, Target Bow) - Active: Reveals the location of traps and invisible units. Crucial for dealing with invisible bosses or navigating maps with hidden traps.

Silence Gas (200 AP, Kard) - Active: Sets a trap that releases gas, SILENCING the unit that springs it. Useful for cornered enemies, but less effective against ranged mages.

Life Bond (250 AP, Thorn Bow) - Active: Shares the user's HP with the target, restoring the target's HP while damaging the user. Acts as a costly cure for out-of-range allies.

Leech (250 AP, Rondel) - Active: Sets a trap filled with leeches that drain MP from the unit that springs it.

Mirror Items (300 AP, Nail Bow) - Active: Reverses the effects of items used. Potions damage instead of heal, and X Potions deal significant damage. A powerful, albeit game-breaking, ability.

Camouflage (300 AP, Khukari) - Active: Disguises the unit to blend with terrain, making them INVISIBLE and untargetable. Excellent for stealth attacks and flanking maneuvers.

Love Potion (350 AP, Tonberrian) - Active: Sets a trap laced with a potion that CHARMS the unit that springs it, causing them to fight for the user until damaged.

Critical: Vanish (400 AP, Jambiya) - Reaction: Makes the user INVISIBLE when they reach critical HP, allowing for escape.

Item Lore (150 AP, Wizard's Hat) - Passive: Increases the effect of potions and consumables on the user, effectively doubling their healing or restorative power.

The Lanista is a powerful swordsman class requiring 1 Berserker Ability and completion of the "A Lanista's Pride" Quest. They possess high defensive and offensive capabilities and can heal themselves by sacrificing others' HP.

Astutia Skills

Strike (250 AP, Luabreaker) - Active: Temporarily grants anatomical knowledge to carefully target attacks, raising CRITICAL HIT chance in an area. Excellent for opening turns.

Haunting Vision (300 AP, Dagriohm) - Active: Shows the target a vision of their darkest dream, dealing damage and BLINDING them. Effective dark damage attack.

Sword of Light (300 AP, Ogrenix) - Active: Steals the target's magickal energy, restoring MP to the unit. Limited utility for Seeq units who don't rely heavily on MP.

Sword of Darkness (350 AP, Ancient Sword) - Active: Steals the target's life force, restoring HP to the unit. A dual-purpose skill that heals and damages simultaneously.

Charge (350 AP, Hardedge) - Active: Magickally strengthens the unit for a single rush attack, dealing damage and knocking the target back.
