Skills

Power

By using the Power command (sometimes called Gather), Yang gathers energy to perform an attack with double the strength the next turn. This command causes more damage than two physical attacks, because his power has a double power damage, but the enemy defense does not. Later, it could be updated to 'Deadly', upon compleating Yangs Trial, where the attack did triple damage instead of double.

Kick

Yang Kicks all enemies, inflicting minimal damage.

Bear

Using the Bear command (sometimes called Endure or Gird) raises Yang's defense. It is the equivalent of using the white magic spell Protect withought costing MP (though he cannot use it on any other party member). A spell cast in Final Fantasy XI.
