Attack

See also: Attack.

Attack allows a user to perform a physical attack. The damage dealt depends on the weapon
they have equipped, as well as the basic elements involved in the damage formula such as an
enemy's defences and a player's strengths. The Attack command is always available unless the
player has the Disable status.

Magicks & Technicks

Magicks & Technicks covers the bulk of the skills in the game. The Magicks & Technicks
sub-menu branches out into six further sub-menus with the lists of skills. Five of these
sub-menus are Magick skillsets, while the final is a category of other miscellaneous abilities,
usually physical in element.

Magicks & Technicks need to be obtained for any member of the party to use, and have a
character obtain the relevant license to be able to use it. In the International Zodiac Job
System version of the game, licenses for abilities in this category are divided between jobs,
with some appearing in multiple however full sets only being available to one.

The Silence and Disable statuses prevent users from using skills in the Magick skillset, while
only Disable prevents Technicks.
