I think you press "G"

[Ponxha]

Or RB/R1 if you use a controller (LB/L1 for offensive spells)

[WavePath]

Most magic abilities can be use single/multiple targets including black mage ones like vivi especialy, G or H the ones you use for ships and chochobo rides to rotate the view left or right those buttons

if you use multiple targets, it is weaker?

yes it becomes less effective. same goes for any ability/spell/skill that you can alternate between ST/MT

for instance time based spells like float last less time if you MT them on the group instead of ST-ing on a single character

Sorry to refute you duckzyx, because what you say is quiet reasonable, but giving positive statuses is not affected by multi-targeting :p
Actually, in FFIX (unlike, say, FFX), any way to add a status will add it for the same amount of time.

The only reasons not to use a multi-targeting float spell are either because one of your characters has reflect, either because you only want a single guy to be floating (floating characters are more sensible to wind attacks).

For negative status spells, such as Slow or Poison, using multi-targeting will divide by 2 the hit rate. Note that for Bio, the damage is reduced by multi-targeting but the hit rate of the status remains unchanged (20%).

Here is the source code of the spell/ability effects:

You can also see their descriptions in Hades Workshop.

The damage are reduced for the effects using the function "ApplyMultiTargetPenalty" (damage are reduced) or "ApplyMultiTargetAccuracyPenalty" (hit rate is reduced).

If you use multiple targets weaken? not entirely true, for example vivi Firaga spell i tested it at 3 gale monsters the ice area ones , single target did 1.7k dmg, aoe all 3 targets did 1.4k all dmg so its not really that much deficient think same way works at heals, it also depends on your magic, remember the higher ur Magic stat the more dmg/heal it does

Ah, thanks for the info bud .
It felt like a weakened spell because the duration is just so damn low but your reflect argument makes sense from a game design standpoint when deciding not to weaken the spell MT.
