Trivia

  • Flux is the first dark magic tome to bear both the D and E weapon levels (in The Binding Blade and Awakening respectively). By extension, Flux is the only dark magic tome in the series to have never had a weapon level of C or higher.
  • Internal data in the Game Boy Advance games refers to Flux as "Mistyrain", this is possibly an early name of the spell.[1]
