Magic (Final Fantasy III)

There are two core types of magic found in Final Fantasy III: Black Magic and White Magic. Summoning Magic also appears.

Summon
When summoning, Evokers and Sages (DS version) may randomly cast one of the first two listed spells; either a support ability, a direct attack effect. Summoners have access to the third ability only, that always directly attacks the enemies.

In the NES version, Evokers have 100% success with status conditions. Sages cast the summons' third ability instead.
