Black Magic Guide

by Lassarina Aoibhell

This guide covers the Black Magic in Final Fantasy X, which fall under the "Black Magic" menu heading in battle. It includes the name of each spell, the MP cost to use it, the effect of the spell, and which section of the Sphere Grid it is found in. Though normally I would list this in alphabetical order, I have chosen instead to list the four types of elemental spells in increasing degrees of power first, followed by all other spells in alphabetical order. Please note that for the elemental spells (fire, thunder, blizzard, and water) the caster's Magic Attribute will determine how powerful the spell is.

*"Sphere Grid" refers to sections of the Sphere Grid. Each character starts in one particular section. So if the Sphere Grid column says "Rikku," you can expect to find the ability in the part of the Sphere Grid where Rikku starts.
