Crack is often depicted as a sudden growth of ice crystals that cut into a single enemy. The crystals become larger, more abundant, and far more chilling in appearance as the spell family advances, ~~often~~ extending its target range along with its power.

Crack targets a single foe, and deals between 25~35 damage for 3 mp. It is learned by the following playable characters~~. It will deal 12~20 damage when an enemy uses it, and remained as such until ''VIII''~~.
