MP Attack (MP消費攻撃, MP Shōhi Kōgeki^?, lit. "MP Consumption Attack"), or Charged Attacks, is a recurring ability that is found mostly on pieces of equipment throughout the series. It involves using MP to increase the user's physical damage output when attacking physically.

AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy VEdit

Found exclusively on the Rune Edge, Rune Chime, and Rune Axe weapons. The Rune Edge can be found in Istory Falls, or stolen from Stingrays. Rune Axe is one of the 12 sealed weapons. The Rune Chime must be won from Baldanders in the Ruins section of the Interdimensional Rift.

Final Fantasy VIEdit

Certain weapons, namely the Rune Edge, Organyx, Ragnarok, Lightbringer, and the Punisher consume a random amount of MP from the wielder to inflict a critical hit 100% of the time. Organyx can only be equipped by Terra, Edgar, and Celes, and can only be morphed or won from the Coliseum. Punisher can only be equipped by Strago, Relm, and Gogo. It can either be won from the Coliseum by betting a Gravity Rod, or found in the Ancient Castle. The Punisher is also Banon's weapon, but it can't be unequipped and he cannot perform critical hits with it due to not having MP.

Final Fantasy IXEdit
