From: seancdau@prodigy.net (Sean Daugherty) Newsgroups: alt.games.final-fantasy Subject: FF5 Blue Magic Chart Version 0.2 Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 06:18:02 GMT FINAL FANTASY V BLUE MAGIC CHART By Sean Daugherty (seancdau@prodigy.net) Version .20 ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT: This little chart lists all the spells it is possible for a character equipped with the Blue Mage job, or the Blue Mage's "Learning" ability to obtain, what said spell does, and which enemies it is possible to learn them from. This is a work in progress, and any further help or information would be appreciated. If the Location field is blank, I have not yet been able to obtain the spell. HOW TO OBTAIN BLUE MAGIC SPELLS: If you've played FF6 (3 in the USA) or Final Fantasy 7, you most likely already know. Blue Magic spells operate just like Strago's Lores or the Enemy Skill Materia. You need to be hit by one of the enemy's special attacks, and you'll learn it. For some special, such as White Wind, it is neccessary to either Confuse or Control the enemy to get them to cast it on you (they won't automatically try to heal your party, of course ). Other spells enemies will not cast, no matter how long you wait, such as the Lamia's 1000 Needles spell, and they must be Controlled to be made to use the command. Note that not all enemies can be confused or controlled, and sometimes not all their possible commands can be cast via control (such as the RockBrain's Dark Shock). In this case, you'll just have to wait for them to employ the command. It's usually a good idea to have more than one character equipped with the "Learning" ability to reduce damage done to your group. NAME DESCRIPTION LOCATION ????

In most cases, this change was made thanks to space concerns, but there are a few cases where the changes were made due to precedents set by Final Fantasy 3 US and Final Fantasy 7 (i.e. 1000 Needles became Blow Fish). The only spells listed are the ones I know have undergone a name change: If there is no mention of the spell, it either has not been significantly changed, or I haven't seen it first hand yet JAPANESE NAME RPGe's ENGLISH NAME 1000 Needles Blow Fish Black Shock Dark Shock Death Roulette Roulette Fiery Emission Emission Moon's Promotion Moon Flute NOTICES: I would appreciate anyone able to supply me with the original Japanese names of the enemies listed above, if there is any difference, as I have not been able to find a list. ------ Sean Christian Daugherty "Your lips are moving; I cannot hear Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear You don't look different but you have changed I'm looking through you, you're not the same..." -The Beatles, "I'm Looking Through You" ************************ |||__||| |||__||| FIVE HUNDRED POSTS TO \/ \/ \/ \/ ALT.GAMES.FINAL-FANTASY!
