FF3 Magic Expansion.ips


This is a new patch in the 1.1 release!

What it does is increase the number of classes that use spells and give them a few magic points for their use, alongside 
the Magic Command so... well, they can actually cast spells.

Before I list the changes, I want to point a few things:

1º, This patch is separated from the Magic Changes patch because this one modifies a few spells, changing them in several ways
2º, It modifies the starting Int and Spirit of some classes that have very low magic capabilities to make them at least somewhat useful
3º, It adds the Magic Command to said classes, so some lose the Defend or Run Command

Because of this, it supposes a bigger change to the original game than any other patch added, and I shouldn't add 
it to the "all in one" patch, because I would be forcing it, and there are several versions of this patch so it's kinda 
stupid too, it could create incompatibilities depending on your translation of choice.

There are four patches:


Magic Expansion No Text Edits 1-1: A patch for the japanese game, or if you don't want the text edits (So, compatible with all).
Magic Expansion Alex W 1-1: A patch for the Alex W. translation.
Magic Expansion ad02020 1-1: A patch for the ad0220 translation.
Magic Expasion Maeson Spanish Translation: For a translation I made some time ago from ad02020's fantastic work.

The difference between each one is that it alters a couple of words to fit the changed spells. Make sure you're using the correct one.

Changes go like this:

First spells:

Sight: Now is a single target offensive spell while in battle. 
       Spell Power 40. Outside battle it will display the map as always. It has new graphics.

Shade: Now is a Full Screen offensive spell with a power of 160. Neutral element. 
       It has a new animation.

Kill/Dark: Now is a Dark element Full Screen offensive spell with a power of 160. 
           It has a new animation. Because it's element, it's effective with enemies that divide themselves.

Now, for changes in the classes with new magic:

I will add the name of the class, the spells he can learn, how the commands are rearranged, what new Int/Spirit base stat the 
class has (if it has a change) and the ammount of MP the class has. The number between brackets is the total MP the class gets 
for that level, it happens with classes that already have MP for that level of magic. MP for classes and magic levels that wasn't 
in the original game doesn't change as the characters level up. For example, Monk will always have 15 points in Level 1 magic no 
matter if it's level 1 or 99.

Note: IMP> Initial Magic Points | FMP > Final Magic Points (at Level 99)

* Classes that previously could use Kill/Dark and Shade lose it because their increase in power, 
  as it would make things very unbalanced. But a Warlock will be able to use them as he is the master of black magic, though.

This patch also changes the monster M.Helcan/Magic Helcan spells to remove Shade, too strong for the moment it appears.
