Nereid


 * [[Image:Nereid-icon-dd.gif]] "Princess of the sea spirits."

Nereid is a Summon sequence of the Mercury element. When two Djinn of the Mercury Element are on standby, the Nereid Summon sequence can be activated. It resembles a purple-haired girl, in Japanese clothing and holding fans, arrive riding a giant tortoise and summoning an enormous water spout to engulf the enemy party.

Nereid has a base Mercury power of 60 and also does additional damage equivalent to 6% of the enemy’s maximum HP. Nereid is exactly the equivalent to two usages of the Mercury summon sequences, although with one particular bonus--a bonus of 30 Water Power to the user, whereas two Mercruy summons in a row would not raise the Water Power bonus above 10.

In Dark Dawn, Nereid appears as a blonde woman in a dark blue dress, riding a hippocampus sidesaddle and wielding a trident. She brandishes the trident to call forth a powerful wave to rush forth and crush the party's enemies.
