What makes Magic Master different from every other boss in Final Fantasy VI is he can only be hurt by magical attacks. If you don't keep your MP meter well-stocked, you can't win.

Now, this insidious sorcerer hits you with every single attack you've come to expect - Fire, Thunder, Ice, Silence, Death, and Bio. However, the Magic Master is best-known for his coup de grace. When his HP reaches zero, he will automatically unleash Ultima, which is an immediate death sentence for your party.

So, how do you survive an attack that's unsurvivable?

Well, there is a way... but you're not going to like it. The only way to stop Magic Master from casting this spell is to deplete his MP to nothing. After all, he can't perform a magical spell if he has no magical power left.

But since this wicked warlock boasts 50,000 MP, it takes absolutely ages to whittle his magic down to nothing.

Because you don't have to fight Magic Master to win the game, some players won't bother, believing the time-consuming battle isn't worth the hassle.
