Technicks
Fully updated for The Zodiac Age!
Technicks are abilities that do not require Mist Points (MP) to use. Some cause damage in unusual ways; some heal; some lower the stats of enemies.
In the original PS2 release, all technicks can be purchased from shops and used by every character. In The Zodiac Age, technicks are limited to certain jobs.
