List of Final Fantasy VI Spells
Talk13this wiki
In Final Fantasy VI, magic is divided into three categories. Any character in the game, with the exceptions of Gogo and Umaro, can learn any spell by equipping the appropriate esper. Some spells are also taught by certain equipment pieces. Terra and Celes learn a few magic spells naturally. The majority of these spells are affected by both Runic and Reflect.

Lore
Edit
- Main article: Lore (Final Fantasy VI)
Lore works in a similar manner as Blue Magic from other games, spells are learned by seeing an enemy use the ability and by surviving the battle. Unlike in other games, Strago does not have to be hit with the spell to learn it. He just has to "see" it be cast. Gogo cannot learn Strago's missing Lores, he only copies what Strago has already learned. So it's up to Strago to learn them all.
Summon
Edit
Espers act as summons in Final Fantasy VI. They can only be used once per battle and only by the character that has it equipped.
