Shiva
A series tradition, Shiva is one of Dagger's first summons and will prove essential against the tough beasts of disc 3, particularly when exploring the warmer areas of the world thanks to her frosty nature. There is a notable MP cost in summoning her, but the attack is comparable to a strong Blizzara and hits all enemies to boot.
Summoner
Dagger
Gemstone
Opal (20AP to learn)
Opals are reasonably common on the Forgotten Continent, dropping in Ipsen's Castle as well as turning up in the Forgotten Plains chocograph chest. Advanced synthesists can manufacture them from Ores and Potions to boost your supply.
Attack
Diamond Dust (24MP)
Causes Ice damage to all enemies.
A shower of blue particles coalesce into a column of light, into which Shiva rises. She begins slowly to build up magical energy in her hand, and then, opening her eyes, she launches it at the enemy. Ice forms at their feet, eventually exploding into a large jagged shard. The damage done, the ice dissolves into a spiral of blue particles and sinks into the ground.
