Torch

Torch is a Mars Djinni found in Golden Sun, and is numerically the seventh and final Mars Djinni found in the first game.

Location
Torch is found on one rooftop of Lalivero. You must enter the Weapon and Armor shop, climb up a ladder, walk the wall that is the town's north perimeter, and hop to the building.

Description
When Set, it increases base HP by 9, base Attack by 3, and base Luck by 1.

When used, Torch attacks a target with 30 extra attack points and converted to Mars damage, and it has a chance of lowering the target’s defense rating down to 50%

Analysis
Torch is a very practical choice for some of the stronger enemies in the series. If the player can't manage to deal enough damage the sudden decrease of defence on the enemy will more than make up for it. It is often a good idea to set this Djinni to the Adept with the highest Agility as all following attacks will do more damage.

Name Origin
A torch is a stick with a flame on the end. They were originally used to find one's way at night or in dark places, but with the invention of lightbulbs (most notably flashlights) torches are now rarely used for their original purpose.
