Final Fantasy IX Side Quests: Blue Magic

Blue Magic

Quina is capable of learning a number of Blue Magic spells that can be used in battle by selecting the “Blu Mag” command in battle. Quina learns the spells by using the “Eat” command to eat specific enemies to learn their skills.

Eat / Cook

The Eat command can be used on any enemy after their HP drops below 25%. This will defeat the enemy instantly and teach Quina any abilities that enemy may have. The Eat command will become the Cook command when Quina is in a Trance. The Cook command works on any enemy after their HP drops below 50% and works exactly the same way as Eat.

The descriptions below include information about where to find each of Quina’s Blu Mag abilities. Refer to the Blu Mag section to find out more about what each spell can do.
