Shellga (シェルガ, Sheruga?) is a recurring spell in the Final Fantasy series. The spell serves as upgraded form of Shell, granting increased magical defense for multiple party members.
Overview[]
Shellga serves as final version of the Shell spell, granting increased magical defense for all party members in combat. Titles with magic types often categorize Shellga as either a White Magic or Green Magic spell. Its physical defense parallel is the recurring Protectga spell.
The spell's name derives from the magic tier system, using the -ga (ガ, ga?) suffix. The spell made its first formal appearance in Final Fantasy XII, being a late tier Green Magick spell. Unlike its later incarnations, the original version required players to be within range of the spellcaster to be affected.
Due to the series opting to use the -ga suffix for second tier magics, Shellga has often replaced its predecessors, Shellra and Shellja.
