Gun Mage learning a Blue Bullet.
Attack with bullets containing fiend skills.
"Help" description
Blue Bullets (魔銃弾, Majū Dan?, lit. Magic Bullet) are abilities unique to the Gun Mage dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2 that function as a form of Blue Magic. A character does not need to survive the attack to learn the ability, but each one must learn it individually; e.g. if Yuna learns an ability, Rikku will not be able to use it until she learns the ability as well.
The only way to learn a healing Blue Bullet such as White Wind or supportive Mighty Guard is to confuse an enemy that knows it, and then be hit by the attack. Many of the abilities are the same ones used in Kimahri's Ronso Rage Overdrive in Final Fantasy X.
Some captured fiends can also use Blue Bullets, either by default or by learning them after surviving a powerful move or taking a healing/protective move.
Learning 5 Blue Bullet skills will unlock the "Learner" trophy/achievement in Final Fantasy X-2 HD Remaster.
