Return to Balfonheim in final fantasy xii to find new magick like Arise and Shock, and unlock Bazaar bundles like Devastating Incendaries for 12,000 Gil.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Use the Way Stone near the southern end of the Gate of the Wind Area to return to the Gate of the Earth.
  2. 2
    From the Gate of the Earth, use the Gate Crystal to fast travel back to The Port at Balfonheim.
  3. 3
    Upon returning to Balfonheim, visit the Quayside Magickery merchant. New items are now available, including Arise (White Magick 10), Shock (Black Magick 11), and Graviga (Time Magick 10). Arise fully heals the target, Shock deals heavy non-elemental damage to one foe, and Graviga deals damage to all targets equal to half their maximum HP (but does not work on enemies with the Safety augment, such as most bosses and Marks).
