[edit] Final Fantasy XI
Blizzaga is a tier 1 elemental spell. It deals area of effect damage, potentially hitting multiple targets. -Ga spells, as they are often referred to in the game, do more damage than tier 1 elemental magic with the same elemental type. In Final Fantasy XI, Ice is generally one of the harder-hitting, and last learned elements of any tier, superseded only by Thunder. This spell is purchasable by vendors for 12,376 gil or less depending upon fame.
Both Blizzard III and Blizzaga exist in Final Fantasy XI as vastly different spells. Neither, though, hold the honor of being the most powerful Ice magic spell. That honor belongs to Freeze II.
