Inventory and source coverage

Magic coverage by Japanese game number · checked 7 November 2026

JP 199415All named records in the linked cleanhit source list imported. 13/13 index targets have articles; 0 red-link targets omitted.Magic directory

IV · The Ancient City32All named records in the linked cleanhit source list imported. 8/26 index targets have articles; 18 red-link targets omitted.Magic directory

The inventory combines the existing detailed records with entries from each game’s public directories. Search by name, filter by game, or sort the table to find a record. Open a row for its exact source and check date. Newly added inventory entries contain a name, game and type; unsupported numerical fields remain blank.

Coverage below describes the source material actually indexed. Existing article links from each Fandom directory were imported; directory links with no article were omitted. Where cleanhit provides structured lists, every named record from those lists is included. Source spelling variants remain visible when their equivalence is not established. A complete source index can therefore be consulted even where its individual articles are unfinished.

Free spells and sword spells are different rows

Fire Ball is a standalone spell at 3 magic on the early discs, and a sword spell at 4, 16, or 21 depending on the tier the table lists. Wind Cutter is 5 or 3 as a spell and 10 or 24 as sword magic. Light Needle is 2, or 2 and 17 on the sword. Healing costs 4 and restores health equal to your magic level. I am not collapsing a spell and its sword version into one cost.

Element crystals on the 1996 disc are how you learn. Sword magic also wants a weapon level or a specific blade. The Ancient City FAQ talks about sword magic as its own button, which is why a 1994 Fire Ball number will not describe a 2001 fight. The inventory imports existing spell articles from the III directory and the full named spell list from cleanhit’s IV sheet. Missing source articles and unsupported numerical fields remain explicitly unfilled.

Dark Armor, on the armor page, blocks light magic. That is the equipment interaction worth remembering before you build a light-heavy loadout on Melanat.

FAQ

How much does Healing cost?

4 magic, and the notes say it restores health equal to your magic level.

Is sword magic the same spell?

No. The tables list different costs for the handheld spell and the version bound to a weapon.

Where do I learn magic in the 1996 game?

From element crystals, along the Verdite route.
