Item magic does not cost MP, and items can be used endlessly in some games, while in others they end up being consumed. Different games have specific rules dealing with item magics such as being reflectable or not. The most common weapon to cast spells are the rods and staves. Sometimes, other pieces of weaponry have spells as well, including armor. Recurring weapons that can cast magic during battle when selected are Defender casting Protect and Stardust Rod casting Comet.
