Magitek is an ability and a command in Final Fantasy VI. It can be used only when characters are riding Magitek Armor, and replaces the Fight command. All Magitek abilities are magical and most are unblockable. Magitek is only usable on three occasions - during the opening sequence of the game, during Sabin's time in the Imperial Camp, and while in Cyan's Soul. Magitek is highly powerful and requires no MP to use, but the range of attacks is highly restricted for most characters.
Notably, Terra Branford possesses a full set of eight Magitek commands, while all other characters only have the three "Beam" attacks, and Heal Force. The reason for this is unknown. It may have to do with Terra's innate magical powers, or she may simply have been given a stronger set of armor, although in Cyan's dream sequence if Terra is in the party, she still has access to the extra commands.
