Effects and uses of Diffindo
The most powerful long-range magic
Diffindo's long rage and single-shot power makes it the most powerful spell. It is recommended to use Glacius on an enemy and then casting Diffindo for increased damage. However, Diffindo's cooldown time is longer than other spells. It's better to place Diffindo in a separate set of spells than your default set.
