The Julius (Japanese: ユリウス) series of Photon Blasts are powerful abilities that can be taught to a mag in Phantasy Star Online 2. They are distinguishable in that they manifest as a six-armed aberration that swipes viciously or launches energy at foes.
Phantasy Star Online 2[]
Photon Blasts are a special attack performed by mags. Mags can develop a single Photon Blast upon evolving at Levels 30, 50, and 100.
When activated, the player poses with a hand outstretched into the air while a ring of light expands around them. By holding the Blast hotkey, this pose may be maintained for up to 10 seconds, during which the player is invulnerable. If you summon your own Blast while another player is activating theirs, and the fields overlap, a Blast Chain will be initiated. A Blast Chain extends the duration of all Photon Blasts summoned by all players affected by the Chain. The duration extension depends on the number of players participating in the Chain. Only the leading player may initiate the Photon Blast in a Blast Chain.
Certain effects can improve Photon Blasts, such as the Summoner's PB Advance Skill.

Trivia[]
- The name Julius, as in Julius Caesar, is possibly derived from the Roman king Ascanius. Ascanius was also called Iulus or Julus, according to the Roman poet Virgil. The Julians, the gens to which Julius Caeser belonged, claim to descend from Ascanius, Aeneas, and goddess Venus.
