Blue magic doesn't suck...

[timemonkey]

If considered in a relatively realistic sense, such as the case of the comic, than Blue Magic does pretty much suck in general. As we all know, to learn a Blue Magic spell one must be hit with it and survive it. This approach was designed to work as a game mechanic, where in battle damage never has any effect but reducing HP and fails completely when applied in anything resembling realism. The only things Black Mage ever learns are a kick in the nuts and spells designed to hurt, but specifically not kill him, ultimately making it useless. He can't survive anything that would actually be useful as it's useful because it destroys it's target.


The FF6,8 and 10 methods would be far more efficient and productive.
