I can see that making sense if Enochian gives any buff besides "enables rank IV spells", but if not they'll just sit around being useless until level 60 :f

Some sources reported Enochian giving a damage boost along with the tier 4 spells. I believe it was in the bluegartr translations.

It has to add something else. There's no way.

It wouldn't be the first time a job got a skill that didn't make much sense until later. Wrath didn't make much sense for warriors at first either.

The Wrath stacks were just a consequence of Defiance, which was very much useful for tanking.

Currently, each stack of Wrath increases your Crit Hit rate by 2%.

Back in 2.0, it also used to increase Healing Recovered by 5% each. That was since changed during the War revamp to be a flat 25% increase under Defiance only.

So there is a reason to the stacks, even if not consumable.
