Battle

Stop (2014)

Magic does almost nothing but cast spells, and knows a wide variety of spells. Silence disables him for the rest of the battle, though does not prevent the final counter-attack when killed.

Behind the scenes

According to the Final Fantasy III Nintendo Player's Guide, the second tier, which includes Magic, Machine, Power, and Tiger, is supposed to be a rematch of Goddess from the Warring Triad. No official material support this; the idea was created by Nintendo of America.

In the North American SNES release, Magic's sprite is slightly censored with what appears to either be shadow or shorts of some kind to cover the figure's nudity.
