Effects
Each point of XP bonus grants you +1 XP per combat, regardless of how many opponents you fight at once. If you are beaten to hell or are forced to flee due to running out of techniques you get no bonus XP, even if you gained XP for defeating one opponent in a multiple-opponent fight. Defeating an opponent that gives you no XP gives you no bonus XP.
Spading is in progress to determine whether this bonus is added before or after the 'shift' from items that increase the chance of XP going towards a particular attribute.
