Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Criminal Genius can be learned by Erik at level 72 and costs 48 MP to use. When used, it triples his physical potency and recovery for one turn. Since it is a Coup de Grâce, it takes two turns to charge and can only be used one time per battle. Upgrading the skill reduces the amount of MP it costs to use.

Etymology[edit]

In the original Japanese, Criminal Genius (かみわざ, Kamiwaza) shares a name with the Guile skill set in Erik's character builder. Translated literally, it can mean "divine act" or "godlike technique" and can refer to a feat or task that is performed beyond ordinary human capabilities, such as in sports.
