Magic is a recurring command option in the series that appears in every battle event. When selected, a menu will appear, listing all usable magic spells.
When a player character is inflicted with the Silence status, the Magic command will be inaccessible. Certain titles in the series also disable the Magic command when a player enters certain boss battles.
