Magun



The Magun, also known as the Demon Gun, is a weapon from the anime Final Fantasy: Unlimited. Attached to the character Kaze's arm, the Magun is Kaze's most powerful weapon, which is rivaled only by the Maken, wielded by Makenshi.

His partner, Moogle repairs the Magun, commenting of its state of neglect, allowing Kaze to summon stronger versions of his existing summons. After the events of 12 years ago, the Magun no longer responds to any of Kaze's commands, and will only activate when the twins Ai and Yu Hayakawa are close by and conscious.

Activation
Initially, the Magun is "frozen", and cannot be used. In this state the weapon has the appearance of a large golden cylinder. When it activates, or "thaws", the weapon draws energy from its surroundings and transforms within a large, three barreled, golden gun attached to Kaze's arm, with a beating black heart at its core.

Soil
Soil is a compound made of the souls of those who were destroyed by Chaos thus causing their life force to be crystallized. Though Soil appears as fine grains of colored sand, its power can be seen when unleashed in a spiral movement.

The following is a list of all the soils Kaze uses, their description, and which summon they are involved with. The difference between the original Japanese and English dub are also noted.

Unlimited Summons
The exact nature of Pist's summon is unclear; as the summoning failed, thus backfiring on him, and the combination Pist used has never been used by Kaze. However, when Kaze summons a creature he has summoned previously, he uses the same combination as the first time he summoned the being.

Musical themes
The Magun has two themes associated with it. "The Magun has Thawed" plays when the Magun thaws thanks to Ai and Yu's presence, or Moogle's intervention. This is then followed by "Firing the Magun." Both can be found on Final Fantasy: Unlimited - Music Adventure Verse 1.

Final Fantasy Tactics
The Enchanted Pistol is an Artefact. This ancient firearm used bullets infused with various magicks. In later years bullets were sometimes infused with power directly extracted from espers.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
One of the guns that a Gunner may equip is called the Calling Gun. Its description is a "lost gun of old, once used to summon fabulous beasts." It is the most powerful gun for the Gunner job.
