*''The formula for MP recovery = floor( floor( [[Summoning Magic|Summoning Magic Skill]] × 1.05 - 55 + [[#Equipment|Elemental Siphon Equipment]] ) × ( 1.0 ± [[Weather]] and [[Day]] factors ) ) + Elemental Siphon Effect Job Points.''
**Weather and Day bonus caps at '''+40%''' (1.4) with no negative cap. 
**The minimum amount of MP returned from Siphon is 50.
**This ability caps at 700 Summoning Magic Skill for a base 680 MP.
**This ability transfers MP from your [[:Category:Spirit Pact|Elemental]] to yourself and thus the MP restored cannot exceed the elemental's current MP.

*For example, a 99 Summoner with 474 skill and 10/20 Elemental Siphon Effect JP ranks using [[Beckoner's Pigaches +1]], [[Conveyance Cape]], and a [[Chatoyant Staff]] with matching day and weather would recover:
:*floor( floor( 474 × 1.05 - 55 + 90 ) × ( 1.0 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 ) ) + 30 = 721 MP recovered.
===Weather and Day Factors===
Day, weather, and the subsequent equipment which enhance their effects for siphon may either enhance siphon (matching element to the spirit) or decrease (opposing element) this factor.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>{{imgpop|[[Zodiac Ring]]|Zodiac Ring description.png|link=Zodiac Ring}}'s +3% day bonus does not function during Lightsday and Darksday as they are not "Elemental Magically aligned" elements.
*The [[Elemental Obi]]s obtained from [[In the Name of Science]] have no effect on this ability as Day/Weather bonuses are always applied in a similar vein as [[Helix Spells]].
*Elemental Staves (eg. [[Thunder Staff]]) have no effect on this ability.
