mag·ic / n. 1. Supposed art of influencing or controlling events supernaturally. 2. Conjuring tricks. 3. Enchanting quality or phenomenon. [Gk magicus, rel. to MAGUS]

This is NOT a complete ability list (I invite you to check out the Game Help section for that) but a list of crossover magic and abilities. Most of the spells and many abilities throughout the series are recycled. Although the original names given here are constant, the translated names can differ wildly. Usually, 8 and above used the correct name.

Here are the notations I'll be using throughout the page:

• WM = White Magic
• BM = Black Magic
• BL = Blue Magic
• TM = Time Magic
• DM = Dimensional Magic
• YY = Yin Yang Magic
• MG = generic Magic
• AB = ability/technique
• SA = Support Ability
• GG = Garment Grid ability
• GM = Green Magic
• AM = Arcane Magic
