I don't really know where to put this. I was revising and adding magic spells in a document conceiving if SaGa Frontier was remade. In the original game, most magic classes were very useless while others (See: Time Magic) were insanely broken. I reworked the spells to be a little more well-rounded, balanced, and useful. For the hell of it, I even added a few of my own (listed in bold). Just about all the spells have been revised. Names in parentheses are the old or original names. I currently have no ideas for Evil, Life, and Mirage magic, mainly because they are so limited, and because Mirage Magic is essentially PhantasmShot made its own magic class.
And just in case you are wondering, magic spells in SaGa Frontier are generally passive and very unconventional. In order words, don't expect Final Fantasy-style attacks like Thunder, Fire, and Blizzard.
