yeah at least i decided to use my christmas-coloured one. if you've ever been to other forums you'll see it's quite popular.

Exploder. Firey, painful, slow death for BM, and then it MISSES!

3. pep up. even worse than white wind, he has to sacrifice his own life to heal his allies.

Now that I think about it, Goblin Punch is not really likely.

In FFV, if used right, Goblin Punch can deal 9999 damage pretty easily. I don't think that's extremely weak. If your Blue Mage is at least level 90, Goblin Punch will fuck up the final boss (Neo X-Death) something AWFUL. One piece at a time. (Of course, it's rarely used since it only targets one of X's parts; however only GP Toss is capable of dealing 9999 with the reliability of GP against all the targets.)

Also Locke, IIRC Exploder has a 100% hit rate. Unless the target is in the middle of a Palidor/Jump attack, that is.

I'd say Poison Claw. It is relatively useless in FFTA, and looks like something this monster could do.

Or Aero, it might be part bird given the Squak sound it made, and Wind doesn't blow things up(it can blow them down)

[stabbity death]

It will probably involve BM being hit by some kind of attack that is completely unintended to be used as an attack, and is therefore useless in any sort of practical combat situation.

Wonder if the use of Sword-chucks would be a learnable skill. Doubt it but it would be vaguely amusing. Or the Medoken.

Although in reality I'd have to agree with it being a totally useless skill probably:P

how about imp? i always thaught that was a pretty useless spell, considering that the enemy can still hurt you.
well, untill i hacked my FFVI game and made it kill enemies instantly, that is...
HARM or LOCK were also prety useless, from my limited understanding..

Imp spell? FFVI? Do you mean FFIV? I never even found the item to give Rydia that spell without using the Gunslinger code. Same with the Mage and Bomb summons.

They all sucked anyway. And that's a summon spell, not a blue magic spell.

Why do you need to h4x0r the game to get an instant kill spell when there is Meteo? 9999 damage, every target, every time.

At this rate though, we won't find out until next year.

i never bothered trying to get meteo, coz by nature i love hacking games. it makes me feel all powerful. i just hack an item to auto cast the spell i want.

i love hacking...

and no, i mean the spell IMP in FFVI, it's there alright. it's not a summon, it's a status inflicting spell.

The easiest way to figure out what power BM will get is to wait for that big green rat thing to finally do something, and see exactly what it does.

BM might learn Tail Whip. Who knows.
