Blue Magic

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Blue Magic, also referred to as Enemy Skill, is a skillset consisting of abilities used by monsters. Most of the time, a character who can use it, known as a Blue Mage, learns the ability by being hit by it and surviving the battle. It first appeared in Final Fantasy V.

A greater form of Ultima can be learned by Alma during the battle with the final boss Ultima. Any character can learn spells such as Bolt 4 and Fire 4 from having them cast on them while they are a job that learns it (i.e. a Black Magic spell can only be learned "Blue Mage style" if the target is a Black Mage), but this usually only applies to the level 4 spells, and a majority of Summon spells.
