{{Anchor|Enhancements}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Enhancements
|description = Enhance your elemental to act opportunistically
|syntax = SYNTH ENHANCE <ability>        SYNTH DIRECTIVE <ability> <ON/OFF>        SYNTH
ENHANCEMENTS
|detail = Your elemental is capable of comprehending complex orders, and this ability allows you to
prepare such orders in advance, causing your ally to act as opportunity presents instead of
requiring a direct command.
When the elemental is ready to attack and has been ordered to fight, it will follow its list of
enhancements in sequential order, using the first ability it is capable of carrying out. To take
advantage of this, it is wise to order your enhancements in priority order, preferring abilities
with conditions to be high on the list, and those with few or no conditions to be low priority. If
the elemental is unable to use any enhancements, it will default to the Club ability.
Elementals may also be given directives to act when a situation presents itself. However, any
directive given beyond the first will slow down its attack speed slightly.

ENCLOSE - Increases your own ability to dodge by 3%.
COVER - Arrows will be reflected, chance to deflect increased.
REPRISAL - Increases damage and balance loss on hit.
GUARD - Increases resistance to all forms of damage.

air via purple ink.

To enhance: SYNTH ENHANCE DECONSTRUCT [<LEFT|RIGHT> <ARM|LEG>]
This unique ability requires a little extra information in order to enhance your elemental.
Should your elemental spot moderate bruising upon the limb you have most recently struck, their
next blow will attempt to deconstruct it, dislocating the limb's joint. If left uncured, it will
eventually cause the limb to collapse and become broken.
By default your elemental has only a 33% chance it will attempt to deconstruct a limb even when its
conditions are met, however if it attempts to deconstruct the exact limb that you have specified in
your enhancement, then the chance is guaranteed instead.
Your elemental cannot deconstruct a limb that is already broken or dislocated, neither will it work
