Magic Master (Final Fantasy VI)

The Magimaster is a boss in the game Final Fantasy VI. It is found at the top of the Tower of Fanatics after obtaining the Gem Box. It is extremely difficult to defeat. It attacks with Fire 2, Ice 2, Bolt 2, Pearl, Flare, and Doom. However, it also uses WallChange to change its weakness and immunities, which can cause frustration. Thankfully, it is succeptable to Berserk, which will stop it from changing its weakness. However, this will allow its attacks to pass through Wall Rings if the party is equipped with them. Another strategy is to use spells such as Flare, Meteor, and Ultima which are non-elemental.

It is impossible to defeat the Magimaster unless someone in the party knows Life 3, the party is leveled rediculously high, or the player has a lot of patience or luck, as the Magimaster's final attack is an Ultima spell. This will probably kill everyone in the party. This can be avoided easiest by casting Life 3. Another method is to use Rasp and Osmose to whittle down its MP to a point at which it does not have enough MP left to cast Ultima. This can take a long time, as the Magimaster has 50000 MP and Rasp usually only takes away about 100-200 at a time, depending upon the caster's Magic Power. Another method is to summon Palidor when it is low on HP, so it casts Ultima while some of the party members are still in the air, however, this takes almost perfect timing to do. Casting Life 3 is recommended.
