[I] Acquirement Reference
===============================================================================
While making use of this reference, please note the following:
a) The abbreviation CoD refers to "Cloister of the Dead." Most spells can be
acquired from Azulmagia in this location. He will consequently not be
listed within the chart below.
b) While the majority of spells cannot be reflected, certain exceptions
exist. These will be flagged at the bottom left of each cell with an R.
c) Certain monsters will not perform a target spell unless controlled. The
names of these monsters will be flagged with * symbol.
d) Certain monsters will not perform a target spell unless specific
conditions are met. These are listed in parenthesis below their location.
"React" means that the target spell will be cast as a response to a
specified player action.
e) Certain monsters, such as the Ushabti, have insufficient MP to perform
the spells they theoretically possess. Though occasionally, the spells
might become usable if you provide them with an Ether, it's best not to
rely on them for purposes of learning.
f) In certain instances, monsters can only be induced to cast spells upon
themselves or target the enemy side. By casting Reflect on them, the
spell may be redirected upon the party. However, Reflect is obtained at
a relatively late point in the game. As a substitute for earlier usage,
note that by applying !Mix to Phoenix Down and Dragon Fang, an effect
called Dragon Defense will be produced, which applies Reflect in addition
to raising Physical and Magical Defense.
g) So long as Learning is equipped or otherwise active as an inherited
ability, a character is capable of obtaining even the spells that kill
them. However, if a target spell is cast, but fails to successfully
activate (due to immunity, etc.), it will not be learned. (e.g. Level 5
Death cast against a party containing no characters with a multiple-of-
five level.) A spell that does not target a party member will not be
learned. (e.g. A Dhorme Chimera casting Aqua Breath on itself while under
the influence of Control.)
h) As clarification, all spells in Final Fantasy V Advance act as a pooled
resource. So long as a single character with Learning equipped is hit by
spell per the circumstances described above, all characters will be able
to use the spell.
i) Monsters that appear in multiple locations are generally listed here at
their earliest convenient occurrence. Several of the monsters referenced
below appear in multiple iterations across the game, and their abilities
in each iteration are distinct; spells possessed by some versions cannot
be used by others. (This is especially true of Gilgamesh.) I have not
explicitly marked out the cases where the problem occurs, but if any
confusion exists, the location reference should point you toward the
correct monster.
I have not exhaustively confirmed the validity of the chart content, and I
have not given much attention to relevant activation conditions. If you find an
error within the chart, please inform me by email, and I will attempt to
correct it as soon as possible.
