Matra Magic

Attempts to reduce one enemy’s HP to exactly 1. Unreliable, spectacular when it works.

Why this grade

Early — A

When it lands, it drops any regular enemy to 1 HP for 8 MP — absurd value in the first two discs.

Late — C

The success rate never improves and endgame enemies are often immune; it ages out.

Where to learn it

Eat works when the enemy is at ¼ of its HP or less; during Trance, Cook works at ½ or less. This is the #1 reason Eat “doesn’t work”.
