FINAL FANTASY V BLUE MAGIC CHART
By Sean Daugherty (seancdau@prodigy.net)
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
). 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
