'''Magick Pot''' is an enemy from ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' found in the [[Subterra]]. It is also fought in the ''Zodiac'' versions' [[Trial Mode]] at [[Trial Mode#91|Stage 91]] along with continuously spawning [[Hecteyes (Final Fantasy XII)|Hecteyes]] where the [[Technicks]] command is disabled. The Magick Pot yields a massive 123 LP when defeated. Though "aggressive" (has red health bar rather than green), it does not attack unless the player attacks it first; rather, it asks for an [[Elixir (Final Fantasy XII)|Elixir]].

=== Page 1: Observations ===
:''Not a single report of this curious and rare fiend's capture or slaying has ever been circulated. In the past, these creatures were demons of legendary might, foes unto the gods themselves. The gods feared them and their power, and so changed their form to that of a harmless pot. Though their strength be stolen, and their temperament cooled by transformation, they still possess terribly magickal powers. Anyone seeking to best one of these beings is advised to approach with caution, and perhaps a show of good-will, too, lest they suspect and strike the first blow... for it might well be the last.''

== Battle ==
[[File:Magickpotelixir.jpg|thumb|Magick Pot wants an elixir.]]
The Magick Pot has powerful offensive and defensive stats and absorbs every [[Final Fantasy XII elements|element]]. It will not attack unless the party attacks it first: instead, it will "clamor" for an Elixir. If the player gives it one, it will continuously move around the area without attacking. An exception is in Stage 91 of [[Trial Mode]], where it will eventually stop "rejoicing." An Elixir can also be [[Steal (Final Fantasy XII)|stolen]] from it, though successfully stealing will cause it to attack.

If the player attacks the Magick Pot without offering an Elixir, it reveals itself as one of the hardest common enemies, using [[Final Fantasy XII enemy abilities#Flare|Flare]] and [[Hit (term)#Final Fantasy XII|comboing]] its attacks up to [[Hit (term)#Final Fantasy XII|twelve-hit chains]].

The player should be wary in any area where a Magick Pot may potentially appear, as the [[Gambits|gambit system]] may cause the player to inadvertently attack before noticing its presence, particularly if using the high-speed mode in the ''Zodiac'' versions. The player can configure their gambits to only target [[undead]] enemies to avoid attacking the Magick Pot, though if using [[Curaja (Final Fantasy XII)|Curaja]] offensively, accidentally healing the Magick Pot sets it off into aggressive mode.

=== Strategy ===
====With Elixir====
The player should turn off the party's attack gambits, and approach the pot. The party should then use an Elixir on it and steal it back by equipping [[Thief's Cuffs (Final Fantasy XII)|Thief's Cuffs]] (in the ''Zodiac'' versions, they may get back a [[Baltoro Seed]] instead). Afterward, they should attack with ranged weapons (bows are effective). [[Flare (Final Fantasy XII)|Flare]] is also effective, if it hits. Alternatively, throwing [[Knot of Rust (Final Fantasy XII)|Knots of Rust]] or using [[Gil Toss (Final Fantasy XII)|Gil Toss]] also prove effective.

====Without Elixir====
If the party is at a [[level]] higher than 78, then they can use [[Telekinesis (Final Fantasy XII)|Telekinesis]] to defeat it. This strategy can be used without giving a Elixir to the pot, though it is risky if it retaliates. An Elixir-less Magick Pot can also be damaged with weapons that deal piercing damage (guns and measures), with curative items while equipping the [[Nihopalaoa]], and with Knots of Rust and Gil Toss.

It is also possible to stack [[Expose (Final Fantasy XII)|Expose]] to make the Magick Pot vulnerable to [[Attack (command)#Final Fantasy XII|basic attacks]] without giving it an Elixir. After doing so successfully around nine times, the Magick Pot will begin to take small damage from regular attacks, but further stacking will soon bring this figure into the thousands with a suitably strong weapon of attack power over 100. A character with a strong non-elemental weapon should then be able to finish it off; [[Berserk (Final Fantasy XII status effect)|Berserk]] and [[Bravery (Final Fantasy XII status effect)|Bravery]] will speed this up. A similar approach using [[Shear]] and strong non-elemental [[Magic (command)#Final Fantasy XII|magicks]] also works.

When attempting to fight a Magick Pot without giving it an Elixir, it is ideal to use high level characters under the [[Bubble (Final Fantasy XII status effect)|Bubble]] status. One can mitigate the damage by casting [[Decoy (Final Fantasy XII)|Decoy]] and [[Reverse (Final Fantasy XII)|Reverse]] on a character. Using a character under the [[Lure (status)|Lure]] status, who has high Evade and Magick Evade conferred by equipment, such as the [[Zodiac Escutcheon (Final Fantasy XII)|Zodiac Escutcheon]] or [[Gendarme]] shields, is also viable.

====Trial Mode====
[[File:Trial-Mode-Stage-91-FFXII-TZA.jpg|Trial Mode.|thumb]]
The player may want to turn off the party's attack gambits and decide on a strategy before engaging, and to spring the [[Trap (term)|trap]] in the room. As soon as the Magick Pot is interacted with, Hecteyes will drop in and swarm the arena.

A [[Black Mage (Final Fantasy XII)|Black Mage]] equipped with [[Glacial Staff (Final Fantasy XII)|Glacial Staff]] or [[Staff of the Magi (Final Fantasy XII)|Staff of the Magi]] should cast [[Blizzaga (Final Fantasy XII)|Blizzaga]] on the Hecteyes. Alternatively, the player can use the [[Time Battlemage]]'s [[Warp (Final Fantasy XII)|Warp]] or [[Warp Mote]]s. The gambit Foe:Ice-weak is good for targeting the Hecteyes. Equipping an [[Indigo Pendant (Final Fantasy XII)|Indigo Pendant]] on the Time Battlemage makes Warp always work. The Hecteyes are also weak to [[Immobilize (Final Fantasy XII)|Immobilize]].

Meanwhile, the other party members should attack the Magick Pot. The player can damage it by giving it an Elixir and letting it rejoice for a bit. Setting the other attacker's gambit to Foe:Party leader's target helps for them to both attack the Magick Pot. The player can also chain [[Quickening (ability)|Quickenings]] right after giving the pot an Elixir, hopefully killing it in one blow, and also hitting the flan if a Concurrence triggers.

The player can also damage the Magick Pot without giving it an Elixir with guns, Nihopalaoa + [[X-Potion (Final Fantasy XII)|X-Potions]], Knots of Rust, [[Dark Matter (Final Fantasy XII)|Dark Matter]] and [[Dark Energy (item)|Dark Energy]], [[Shemhazai (Final Fantasy XII)|Shemhazai's]] Devour Soul and Soul Purge, and [[Zodiark (Final Fantasy XII)|Zodiark's]] Final Eclipse, [[Exodus (Final Fantasy XII)|Exodus's]] and [[Zeromus (Final Fantasy XII)|Zeromus's]] attacks, and [[Balance (Final Fantasy XII)|Balance]]. Gil Toss cannot be used because Technicks are sealed.
