[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 1053000, member: 162"] [b]Re: RE: Blue Magic[/b] Might've been renamed Mighty Guard. I know that particular blue spell is on the V and TA lists, and its one of the traditional ones that are almost in every FF that has blue magic. Hmm. An interesting idea. Sollir was doing something along the same vein. Personally, what I've started looking at doing is finding equivalencies between blue spells and monster abilities, and saying that being attacked by a certain monster ability gives you its equivalent blue spell. [i]Example: A blue mage is attacked by an air elemental's whirlwind attack. The blue mage may now have an opportunity to learn the blue spell[/i] aero. I don't know how I would handle how many times they can use an ability per day, nor what to do if they get hit with an ability multiple times. With spells like [i]aero[/i], which had three strengths in V, getting hit with stronger versions of the ability that gives it out would grant the blue mage stronger versions of the blue spell learned from it. However, with spells like [i]mighty guard[/i] or [i]white wind[/i], that is slightly more difficult and doesn't really fit the flavor. Once you learn a blue spell, you've learned the blue spell. Also, basing how many times you can cast a given blue spell based on how many times you've been hit with it isn't a very good idea, as that's quite a bit of book-keeping. [/QUOTE]
