Notes

• Raphael has four versions of this ability with escalating potency.
  • After one soul pillar is destroyed, he transforms into  Ascended Fiend for 1 turn.
  • After two soul pillars are destroyed, he transforms into  Ascended Fiend for 2 turns.
  • After three soul pillar are destroyed, he transforms into  Ascended Fiend for 3 turns.
  • After all soul pillars are destroyed, he transforms into  Ascended Fiend permanently. Additionally, Raphael becomes enraged, changing his AI to only use melee attacks.
• These versions do not need to be used in order. Raphael will skip to using the strongest one available to him.
• The in-game tooltip says this ability is once per battle, but this is misleading since each of the four copies can be used once per battle.
