Magic in Vagrant Story is learned from special items called Grimoires, which are dropped by monsters or found in chests. Once a Grimoire is used, Ashley learns the spell permanently, but the Grimoire disappears. Like in the Final Fantasy series, spells cost MP. There are four major classes of magic.
