Gradually creates a storage of MP while reducing your HP. The effect ends once an MP limit is reached, or your HP has gone too low. The stored MP is then transferred to your MP pool by using the ability a second time.
Recast Time: 30 seconds after the ability is reactivated
Duration (Charging): Until MP stored is 50% of Max HP or until HP ≤ 50% (Max Sublimation will increase its value by 10 per Merit Point).
Duration (Charged): 2 hours
Notes/Description[]
Sublimation's efficiency increases based on your current SCH level, whether it is set as your main or support job. (Clarification: With SCH as a subjob, you'll receive a base of 3MP per tick. "Current SCH level" would mean 49 if it's subjob to a level 99 job).
Lv. 35: 2 HP → 2 MP per tick
Lv. 45: 2 HP → 3 MP
Lv. 55: 2 HP → 4 MP
Lv. 65: 2 HP → 5 MP
Lv. 75: 2 HP → 6 MP
Lv. 85: 2 HP → 7 MP
Lv. 95: 2 HP → 8 MP
Equipment that enhances Sublimation will convert an additional 1 HP to MP per tick while equipped.
You will receive the status Sublimation: Activated (a half-filled circle with an up-arrow) upon first using the ability. This indicates that you are losing HP and storing MP.
Sublimation: Activated behaves similar to Poison, and so you will be unable to /heal or /logout even if you have sufficient Regen, and you will quickly recover from Sleep effects.
Stoneskin will absorb the HP drain and allow you to /heal and /logout.
Sublimation: Activated will overwrite Refresh drinks and the spells Refresh and Battery Charge, and they will have no effect if cast on the player while Sublimation is charging.
Sublimation can charge while under the effects of Debilitation only if you have Stoneskin active.
The following effects do not influence maximum MP stored:
Convert HP to MP
Convert MP to HP
HP+%
Max HP Boost
Food
Sublimation: Complete will persist while entering a Mog House, logging out, or completing Campaign Battles and Besieged, and will not conflict with Refresh spells.
Using Sublimation again will end the effect and return all stored MP, whether it is Activated or Complete.

Background[]
In Nietzschean philosophy, as well as in Freudian psychoanalytic theory, sublimation is the redirection of negative emotions and repressed, unconscious drives (in Freud) or a suppressed will to power (Nietzsche) to creative, healthy outlets, often either artistic or spiritual.
Also, in chemistry, sublimation is the process by which solids are transformed directly to the vapor state without passing through the liquid phase. Example: Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) changes directly to carbon dioxide gas without passing through a liquid state.
