Mahama (マハンマ, Mahanma)? is a special Expel skill.
Contents
Effect[edit | edit source]
Mahama has a low chance of instantly killing all enemies.
In the Digital Devil Saga duology, Mahama reduces the current HP of all enemies by half. Should any enemy be weak to Expel, Mahama will be guaranteed to remove half of that enemy's current HP. Human characters (both party members and enemies) are always immune to Mahama, even in Berserk Mode.
In Persona 3 and Persona 4, the skill is Light type.
For games featuring the Persona 5 cast, the Light skill archetype is renamed to "Bless".
