Espers are creatures who can naturally use magic. They live in another realm
separate from humans. Espers can only truly transfer their powers to humans
by becoming Magicite, which is the form Espers take on when they die. Magicite,
a type of stone or rock, and it looks kind of like a large pill. Celes and
the other party members can draw on the Espers' powers by equipping Magicite.
You can equip only one Magicite at a time. You can call that equipped Magicite
only once per battle; it will appear and perform its special attack.
Equipping Magicite also has two other functions. Its main purpose is to allow
characters to learn various magic spells. The other function is that certain
Magicite can raise Celes' (and other characters') statistics. If a Magicite
is equipped when Celes levels up, she may gain special bonuses. For example,
if Celes levels up while equipped with Bahamut, her HP will increase by 50%.
If Celes has Ifrit equipped when she levels up, her Strength will increase by
1. These level bonuses make it worth equipping Magicite even if you don't need
to learn any spells.
The following is a list of all the Espers/Magicite you can equip, the attacks
they perform and the MP needed to call them, their Level Bonuses (if any), the
spells you can learn from them, the MP needed to use those spells, and the
speed at which those spells are learned. The Espers are arranged in
alphabetical order.
