Editga: Type: magic(k)

In most Final Fantasy games, certain types of magic are divided into various power levels. As the player progresses through the game, successively more powerful versions of basic spells become available. The series has developed a naming convention to identify second, third, and fourth level magic spells, which appends a specific suffix to the name of the first level spell, with possible minor variations in the root word.

The three suffixes are as follows: (Eng/Jpn)

Second level: -ra/"ra"
Third level: -ga/"ga"
Fourth level: -ja/"ja"
For example, the name of the second level version of Thunder is named Thundara and the third is Thundaga. Likewise, the second and third levels of Fire become Fira and Firaga, respectively.

The fourth level suffix (-ja) is infrequently used; few games in the series feature magic spells with four power levels, the Cure spell being the only example in more recent titles. Other examples are the Dia and Heal spells. In the few times they are used, elemental spells such as Thundaja are extremely powerful.[1] [2]

The one exception to this rule is Final Fantasy II, which used a vastly different magic system from other games in the series. Spell names in Final Fantasy II were given in katakana, and rather than appending one of the above suffixes to signify a more powerful version of a spell, a simple numerical modifier was added to the end of the name. Each spell in Final Fantasy II could be raised to level 16. For example, if the spell Thunder were leveled up to level 16, it would be called Thunder 16.

In early English language localizations of the Final Fantasy series, those prior to Final Fantasy VIII, translators decided not to use the above suffixes, using a simple numerical modifier instead. In other words, Firaga would become Fire 3. Thunder was shortened to Lit, and Thundara would be denoted as Lit2.[3] While the shortening of names was believed to be from limited capabilities of the NES, in which names and spells could only take up a maximum of four characters, this is not the case as names and spells in the NES Dragon Warrior games frequently had more than four characters.

Spells can target individuals or groups. In some cases, targeting a group requires a higher level of a spell; in other cases, the target can be for an individual or an entire group. However, when targeting a group, the strength and/or duration of the spell is often less than when targeting an individual.

In which case, Editga is a non-comprised magic(k), resulting in Gravity-based offence, & happens to be time related. To it's extent we are somewhat unsure, as it has been dubbed the ever-so elusive mystery in Final Fantasy games. Either way,
