FINAL FANTASY V BLUE MAGIC CHART
By Sean Daugherty ([email protected])
Version 1.01

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
     <G>). 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 Rock Brain'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.

SPECIAL NOTE: Every single Blue Magic spell is also cast by "Apocalypse",
             the boss guarding the save point in the Cleft of Dimensions
             Castle, and can be learned from him.

TRANSLATION CHART:

Since the recent interest in FF5 has most likely be spurred by the release
of RPGe's near-complete Final Fantasy V English ROM patch, I thought I would
be rather remiss in not listing the changes made to the names of certain
magic spells. 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 <G>

JAPANESE NAME                 RPGe's ENGLISH NAME
1000 Needles                  Blow Fish
Black Shock                   Dark Shock
Death Roulette                Roulette
Death Sentence                Condemn
Fiery Emission                Emission
Moon's Promotion              Moon Flute
Level 2 Old                   L2 Old
Level 3 Flare                 L3 Flare
Level 4 Gravi Ra              L4 Gravity 2
Level 5 Death                 L5 Doom
Mighty Guard                  Big Guard
Small Melody                  Li'l Melody
Suicide Bomb                  Exploder

of the enemies listed above, if there is any difference, as I have not been
able to find a list. Also, I would like to thank to following individuals
