Change List:
5 out of 6 of the Spell Fusions for Stop have been changed to enable the use of 3 multiplayer spells and 2 enemy spells:
⦁Thunder+Life+Life=Holyra (Power 15x3): Area Holy damage that not only exposes undead enemies, but is damage is virtually unresisted. It is unable to inflict any status ailments, though.
