Azulmagia

Azulmagia is a boss and one of the Demons of the Rift in Final Fantasy V. Locked up in the Dimension Castle dungeons, he will attack the party if they say they are heroes.

Azulmagia is famous for having 17 of the 30 Blue Magic spells in the game. Even worse, casting certain Blue Magic spells on him will cause him to learn them and start using them on the party, giving him a total of 28 of the 30 Blue Magic spells that he can actively use (he will not use Transfusion and Moon Flute). These 28 spells can be learned by any Blue Mage in the party, if they have not learned them already. Specifically, Azulmagia can learn:


 * Aqua Breath
 * Level 3 Flare
 * Aeroga
 * Vampire
 * Self-Destruct

Strategy
A careful look on the list above will show that he will use Self Destruct if you use it on him, making him possibly the easiest boss in the game. However, if you do not have access to Blue Magic just now, or if you have not learnt Self Destruct, this battle may prove a little more difficult.

First off, make sure you have a Blue Mage in your team. This is the easiest part of the game to learn Blue Magic. Physical-based Jobs are the way to go in this battle, since Azulmagia has low Defense compared to his Magic Defense. If you have any Black Mages, you may have them cast Osmose on him, because if he runs out of MP, he is basically defenseless. Have Mystic Knights cast Poison on their swords, so they can inflict massive damage. At this point in the game, Azulmagia's stats are not that great, just keep at it.

For defeating him, the party unlocks a Save Point within the castle.
