When casted on monsters, is there really a difference???
Some monsters are immune to instant death spells, such as the undead. Using Break on them would have an effect, whereas Death would regenerate all of their HP.
Break and Death cause different status effects. Monsters may be immune to one and not the other.
However, casting death on your own character kills it (obviously). Casting break turns them to stone but keeps them targetable by a monster. If your trying to level up, get a full party and "break" 3 members. The monster will hit the characters for 0 damage and the one character that isnt 'stoned' will still recieve the same amount of xp as if there were only 1 character in the party. :)
