Mind
Abbreviation: MND
Mind is the "healing" stat associated with White Magic. Outside of directly increasing cure potency, MND is the strongest factor in determining Healing Power.
It is also compared to the enemy's mind in order to calculate the "dMND" spell base damage term for White Magic Damage (like Holy). It is involved in the calculation of Magic Accuracy for the same spells and some additional effects. It likely determines Magic Evasion when hit by White Magic and some monster TP moves.
Because of its role in these equations, it also holds some minor defensive importance, in that the dMND term of monster magic and weapon skills can be shrunk by raising your own Mind. It is generally less successful at lowering magic damage than Magic Defense Bonus and -%Magic Damage Taken and less successful at increasing resist rate than stacking elemental resistance, but is something to consider in slots where appreciable amounts of the others are unavailable.
MND is associated with the Element: Water as can be seen on most MND rings, ie: Tranquility Ring.
Other Roles

- MND is used as a modifier in some Blue Magic, like Firespit
- MND is used as a modifier in some Weapon Skills, notably Sword and Club.
- It is used in the calculation of Chi Blast base damage.
