Magic works differently than with other Final Fantasy games. Magic is not bought or learned as Benjamin levels up, but is learned by finding spellbooks around the world. There are only twelve spells divided into three schools of magic. At the maximum level, Benjamin can have 42 White, 21 Black, and 10 Wizard. While Benjamin can learn all spells, allies have their spells set and cannot learn more through gameplay, although their repertoire have increased in the space of their absence between their first and second appearances in the party.
