Magick (ability type)

Magicks are the Final Fantasy XII version of magic spells. Learning new spells has similarities to the systems found in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy XII. Like FFVII, where the player would have to buy materia, the player will have to find Magick shops or traveling merchants, who deal with Magicks, in order to buy the appropriate spell. However, while the player would to buy at least one piece of materia in order to have one character use the spell, it is only necessary to buy the Magick spell once, for it to become available to the entire party. But being available to the party, and being able to be used are two different matters, and much like the Sphere Grid from FFX, the ability must be "bought". While the Sphere Grid system used special spheres to activate corresponding abillity/spell/skill, the License System uses License Points, which are gained by defeating enemies, in order to buy the License for "equipping" the Magick. Each character must buy their own license, in order to use a Magick spell.
