Cutting Edge and Plume Edge

Cutting Edge and Plume Edge are a pair of single-target Mercury Psynergies available to both the Venus and Mars Swordsman class series, as well as the Dragoon class series. This means the series is available to every character except Ivan and Sheba.

Cutting Edge
Cutting Edge is the weaker of the two Psynergies in the series. Cutting Edge appears visually as a blue shockwave being fired into the target as the user swings their weapon. The technique is available to the Swordsman, Defender and Cavalier classes in both versions of the Swordsman series, as well as the Dragoon class in its series. Statistically, Cutting Edge converts all damage to Mercury and has a base power equal to the caster's Attack stat plus 32. It costs 5 PP to use.

Plume Edge
Plume Edge is the upgraded replacement to Cutting Edge. Visually, Plume Edge resembles a geyser erupting from beneath the foe, and the user striking them with their weapon while the enemy is suspended on top of the geyser. Upon reaching the Guardian (Venus Swordsman), Luminier (Mars Swordsman), or Templar (Dragoon) classes, the Psynergy takes over Cutting Edge. Statistically, Plume Edge converts all damage to Mercury and has a base power equal to the caster's Attack stat plus 80. It costs 15 PP to use.
