This guide lists the enemy skills, their MP cost, what they do, and where to learn them. Note that enemy skills must be cast on the person equipped with the Enemy Skills Materia, or the skill won't be learned. If I've messed something up, please let me know. Note: Some enemy names may be very slightly different because I originally wrote this guide with help from a strategy guide based on the Japanese, not the American, version of the game. However, they are recognizable as related to the American enemy names.
