I'll tell you in three hours when my shitty capped internet finishes loading the video.
Shaped to 128k my ***, more like 1.28k wow... that was pretty awesome!
it also seems like this isnt under Tabula Rasa effect spell that SE said that sch would get, since in second part of vid the SCH only used 2 JAs compared to 3 in first part.
Wow, didnt think sch would get Merton/Meltdown, that's pretty sweet~

Based on the visuals, in the second one seemed to be Merton followed by Manifestation (aoe of enfeebling). In the first one, looked like they opened up with "Dark Arts". Doesn't look like Addendum: Dark was used in either, since that visual has more of a sphere around your body as opposed to the ring of balls like in manifestation. So there's a good chance that either 1) Addendum: Dark is not required for the ability. or 2) That it's not required (which would be evident in the fact they used "Dark Arts" in first video.

Some were saying the spell will probably cost a lot of MP. Course I see that being possible to play on the Sch's ability to conserve mp (i.e.: throw in an extra stratagem if its that big a problem).

Kinda makes me wonder what other neat things SCH might be getting.
or for that matter if SCH gets this... what does BLM get?

The +2 is essentially same as +1 except you get boost in the base stats (def, mp, int, mnd), and the Set bonus towards occasionally instantly casting magic of the same grimore (white/black). So I'd imagine they could have even been using +1 or Base in the video. I'm currently wearing full +1 but as you can see from the wiki you just get more base plus the set bonus. But who knows maybe they'll augment the +2 to improve upon this new spell. I course been waiting forever to have some kind of aoe-nuke capability, but it does kind of keep the jobs somewhat balanced. Just wish they'd give a lil more white capabilities to scholars though (i.e.: we can cast IV and V nukes with Addendum:Black, but can only use Cure IV at best even if we don't need Addendum: White for it).

Well on their own server and such for 'showcasing' purpose might have very minimal stats display. Just to keep the speculations high until release, for all we know, the ability probably doesn't even cast that fast either. also does anyone else think the start up animation semi resembles ultima/nova abit might just be me but that spell does look pretty.

is a *** 'mazing! so it has a dot to it. mix of helix and nuke. Oh it's a Nuke with a DoT? It looked like a multi-hit for a moment.
That would've been cool too, but Nuke+DOT sounds more like SCH. also, i think they were just wearing full emp gear and weapon for aesthetics.

It's probably like a Helix but with stronger initial damage, and lower DoT damage. I'm still a bit curious what the second JA was in the first kill right after the dark arts visual. Wondering if maybe its one of the 4 stratagems I didn't bother to merit cuz they cost 2 charges (i.e.: the two Magic Accuracy boosting stratagems). The spell Merton itself probably has no AOE capability, which is why Manifestation was used in the second kill. So it could be like you said, a form of helix with a strong initial damage.

Well a Helix is a Multi-hit if you think about it. Just does the initial damage every 9 seconds for the duration of the spell.

I saw a post somewhere saying something along the lines of Merton and Brave(the light arts new spell) will be available while Tabula Rasa is up, similar to Summoner's using Odin / Alexander.

Would be weak if it required Tabula Rasa, but normally you wouldn't be using the 2 hour BEFORE casting your 2 hour (but then again you can do it, as its how many people beat their Sch LB5). Chances are if they did do it, they did not show it in the videos. On the scorpion you can see that it is left afroun 10% after the nuke then dies from DoT also
i know it will prob be a mp spell, but im thinking outside of the box. maybe the spell will consume however much mp is stored in sublimation and convert it to dmg. might be a little too intricate but to me, it sounds like an interesting idea.
