So here's the quote from wiki

"Soulforce is a special stat used in several skills that is determined by the player's level and the refinement level of the gear worn. Originally this stat was specific to Psychics but with the Descent expansion all classes have skills that use soulforce."

What I wanted to know is which skills from each class uses soulforce and how does soulforce relate to damage output. Thanks! b:thanks

    The thing about soulforce is that for most classes, it determines the success rate of skills more so than contribute to damage. Red Tide and Soulburn (Psychic) do account for Soulforce for the damage done with their effects (Bleed, and damage per trigger respectively), as well as how much the base damage of SoV/SoR's reflect is. On the other classes, most Soulforce skills are Morai skills.

    Skill descriptions tend to state the usage of Soulforce. Most use a percentage (like SoV using up 0.4% of your MP per triggering and dealing 8% of your soulforce back as physical damage. Given 10k soulforce that means you lose 40MP and hit back for 800 dmg that's reduced by pdef and def levels). There are also skills that use it to affect chances of triggering (wizards' Reversion skills), which do not seem to have clean numbers but pros like Adroit or Asterelle probably have an idea). For most classes that aren't psychics, SF based skills tend to be Morai skills (learned at levels 80 and 100) but there are exceptions.
