Blu Mag (Final Fantasy IX)

FFIX Quina Blu Mag — Quina casting a Blu Mag spell.

Use learned enemy skill.

—Description

Blu Mag (青魔法, Ao Mahō?, lit. Blue Magic) is Quina's unique skillset in Final Fantasy IX. Blue Magic is a recurring type of magic in the series where one uses magic learned from enemies.

Using Blue Magic 100 times in the mobile and Steam versions earns the I'm So Blue achievement.

MechanicsEdit

Quina learns new skills by eating enemies. This command is sealed inside Oeilvert.

Earth Shake, Goblin Punch (if the enemy isn't of the same level as Quina), and Lv4 Holy use the following formula to calculate damage.

$ Base = Spell Power - Targets Magic Defense $

$ Bonus = Mag ... [(Lv + Mag) / 8] + Mag $

$ Damage = Base * Bonus $
