10 Video Games That Let You Steal Your Enemies' Powers
5. Blue Mage - Final Fantasy XI
The Final Fantasy series offers a wide selection of classes and characters that range from your typical JRPG DPS, tank, and healer archetypes to more outlandish concepts like the Blue Mage.
A reoccurring class type within the franchise, the Blue Mage possesses the unique ability to learn the powers and skills of any creature they defeat. The best example of this is the Blue Mage from Final Fantasy XI, who can absorb and learn the moves, affinities, and spells of pretty much every enemy they enter combat with.
This means that the Blue Mage can potentially learn over a hundred different abilities, including damage and healing spells that are additionally attuned to the specific type of enemy they've defeated, giving them an advantage against creatures that are vulnerable to that attunement.
The class can be a bit hard to master, but once you get a hold of it, being able to summon rabbit kicks, scorpion claws, and even the magic abilities of spell-casting units is a ton of fun.
After all, what other mage can boast that they can summon the literal kicking power of a rabbit that they've defeated?
