Blink is a White Magic spell which increases the Evasion of one of all allies, which reduces the hit rate of enemy attacks. As the spell's level grows, the spell's effectiveness and success rate increases. The effect can stack, however repeated use on the same unit(s) increases the chance that the spell will miss. Any character can learn Blink by having them use the Blink Tome (called the Blink Scroll in the Origins release).

Blink is a spell that, when it is cast on a character, they gain protection from the next physical attack that would hit them and cause that attack to automatically miss. Blink can be dispelled by a Dispel effect, a successful physical attack, which will be negated by Blink, or if the protected target is hit with an multi-target physical or magical ability. There are also Ninjutsu spells in Final Fantasy XI that give a Ninja Blink for more than one hit.
