{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|ジーニアス}} is a 4th-level [[Black (Element)|Black]] [[Element]] in {{CC}}. Temporarily increasing a single ally's [[Magic Attack|Magic Power]], its counterpart is [[Imbecile]]. After assisting the sailors on the [[S.S. Invincible]] defeat the [[Ghost Ship]], Genius, and several other strong elements, Traps, [[Buff]]s and [[Debuff]]s are purchasable from the [[Demi-human]] merchant in [[Guldove]] and on [[Marbule]]. Genius is valued at 430[[G]] in each of these markets.

Specifically, Genius maximizes a single ally's Magic Power, regardless of level allocation. Because of this, it is wasteful to set Genius and other Buff/Debuff Elements any higher than the level 1 allocation spot on an Element Grid. Although this will depict the Element as being -3, no quality difference is noticeable in-game; the character with Genius cast on them will still receive the same boost to Magic Power for several turns.

While [[Combat]] casts Genius as a Level 3 Element (Genius -1), [[Tzetze Fly]] cast it as Level 2 Elements (Genius -2). 

==Description==
Similar to the animation for Imbecile, under the target's feet, a glyph of violet symbols appears. Shortly after, several strings of light shoot up and enclose the target in a vortex, with lopsided rings of darker violet running up the vortex as well. 

==Name Origin==
''Genius'' is an accolade to the intelligence of a person. A certified genius not only thinks more quickly than the average human, but also exhibits expertise in a specific subject or vast numbers of subjects. Since spell-casting and magical ability is often attributed to one's intelligence, increasing intelligence or one's faith in their intelligence would thus increase magical ability.
