A mastery spell is a spell which grants a bonus to melee attacks with a certain weapon class. They are learned from using skill scrolls. The current mastery spells are:
The bonus damage is only to melee attacks with weapons of the corresponding type. This bonus is unique in that it is separate from other bonuses, instead of being added together. This means the actual damage increase is actually what it claims to be. See damage for details.
If used in state 'carried' the skill affects the character/monster carrying.
Caution: Monsters' elemental/neutral damage is modified by their statistics, which are in majority unknown.

Weapon Skills are abilities in Final Fantasy XI that can be used once the player has acquired at least 100% Tactical Points (TP), which is generated by taking or dealing damage with a weapon in combat. In this sense, they are similar to the Limit Breaks of other games in the series.
Weapon Skills are tied to the weapon used, not the Job. Most Weapon Skills are learned by raising your Combat Skill with the weapon in question to a certain level. This level varies between Jobs based on their skill ranking. For example, Spinning Attack is a Hand-to-Hand Weapon Skill which requires 150 Combat Skill to learn. The Monk, which has an A+ Skill Ranking with Hand-to-Hand weapons, can reach 150 Hand-to-Hand Combat Skill at level 49, while the Puppetmaster, with a C Skill Ranking, must wait until at least level 52 to reach 150. Note that since Support Jobs cannot be higher than level 37, a Weapon Skill that requires higher than level 37 for a particular Job cannot be used by that Support Job.
Some Weapon Skills can only be used when specific high-level weapons are equipped. These Weapon Skills do not require any Combat Skill to use, but the weapons themselves are limited to very few Jobs.
When used, Weapon Skills are affected by a few factors. TP can be raised to up to 300%, but despite needing only 100% to use a Weapon Skill, all TP is used. Any excess TP instead improves the Weapon Skill, such as increasing its damage or critical strike chance. The damage dealt by Weapon Skills is also modified by a percentage of one or two Stats - which Stats depends on the Skill. Also note that on multi-hit Weapon Skills, the first hit is the most accurate. Each subsequent hit has a higher chance to miss.
Most Weapon Skills have a least one Skillchain element. If two or more Weapon Skills are used on a target in the proper sequence, a Skillchain is produced, increasing the damage of each subsequent Weapon Skill as long as the chain is maintained, and rendering the target vulnerable to Magic Bursts.
Weapon Skills are a central aspect of melee Jobs, as well as Corsairs and Rangers. However, due to the nature of gaining TP, and their comparatively low Skill Ranking with most weapons, Weapon Skills are rarely used by caster Jobs such as Black Mages.
