Sages and [[Demon swordsmen]] will learn Kazam upon reaching level 64, and it costs 14 MP to cast. Damage is calculated as ''(Magical might - 340) × 0.39 +155~169'' for a base range of 156~168 and a maximum range of 340~354. When the caster's magical might exceeds 999 then the calculation is modified to ''(Magical might - 999) /4 + 414~428'' for a limit of 539-553 achieved through liberal application of buff effects.

[[Rab]] will learn Kazam at level 52. It costs 18 MP and has a base range of 132~156, capping at 238~323 when Rab reaches 323 magical might.

As with all darkness spells, the haywire chance is twice as high with Kazam compared to other spells.
