Matra Magic

Matra Magic, also known as Micro Missiles or Launcher, is a recurring Blue Magic spell. It either does damage equal to a certain percentage of the enemy's HP, or low-powered magic damage.

Final Fantasy VI
Launcher fires eight magic missiles at random targets, inflicting damage equal to half their HP with each hit. Its Hit Rate is 100, and cost 20 MP for the enemy to use. It fails on targets immune to Instant Death as well as it ignores defense and Split Damage.

Final Fantasy VII
Matra Magic is an Enemy Skill learned from Custom Sweeper, Bullmotor, and Death Machine. It inflicts light non-elemental damage on all enemies with spell power equal to 0.6875x the base magic damage. Even so, due to its low MP consumption (8 MP) and the earliness in which it can be obtained, Matra Magic is effective in the game's first stages.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Kadaj casts a spell similar to Matra Magic while in possession of Cloud's Materia, firing a barrage of blue energy projectiles that spread out and converge on his target.

Final Fantasy VIII
Called Micro Missiles, the spell can be learned by Quistis with the Missile item. It reduces the opponent's HP by a percentage which differs depending on Crisis Level.

It is also one of the few Gravity-elemental spells in the game:
 * Crisis Level 1: 50% Max HP
 * Crisis Level 2: 75% Max HP
 * Crisis Level 3: 87.5% Max HP
 * Crisis Level 4: 93.75% Max HP

Final Fantasy IX
If successful, Quina's Matra Magic reduces the target's HP to 1, but its accuracy is only 20%. It costs 8 MP to cast, and can be learned by eating a Trick Sparrow, Dragonfly, Zaghnol, Ogre, Land Worm, or Armstrong. It can't be reflected and works with Return Magic. It never works on bosses.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Matra Magic switches the target's HP and MP. It can be learned from the Toughskin and costs 24 MP to cast. It is notable that if used when a target has 0 MP, the target will instantly be KO'd.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Called Matra Magick to bring the spelling in line with Ivalice Alliance standards, it switches the target's HP and MP about 50% of the time. The game's new MP system allows instant kills if enough MP is gained to use it before the opponent's act. It is learned from the Adamantitan and costs 22 MP to cast, and can hit targets up to 3 tiles away.
