Full resist maybe, but potency~accuracy, pretty certain it does. That would explain why the only time I've been able to approach 190MP aspired was in Dynamis and only in Dynamis. (well could be Limbus, but you don't aspir ***in NW :d) (no diabolo staff or anything like that, which "enhance" aspir).
While with double light weather, your aspir just sux balls and will never do 180+. (Aspiring elementals and avatars in Temenos East).
As for the Obi affecting the spell or not, I think the answer is pretty obvious. How many dark element based spells do we have in this game ? Not a lot. Then if the Obi doesn't work for Drain/Aspir, why does it even exist ?
The only "study" we have on this matter has been realized on like 200 trials if I recall, which is... definitely not enough to prove anything. (the issue being that the weather/day bonus can proc even if you have no obi on, hence *** up the results).
