This is a list of every ability you can find, learn, and buy in the game. I will include the name, description, and any relevant stat boosts (before character bonuses are factored in, and ignored if other jobs give higher boosts). This will be sorted in alphabetical order.
Active abilities will have an exclamation mark in front of them (e.g. !Black or !Buildup), while passive abilities...won't. Any abilities that use magic require obtaining the magic first from chests or shops. As far as I'm aware, Sword Magic is distinct from regular magic in this hack, so learning the Fire spell for Black Magic won't get you Fire Sword Magic like in the original.
AP totals used are total AP required.
