| Damage Types | |
|---|---|
| 体 | Inflicts physical damage (or is at least considered physical for counterattacks). The kanji means 'body', and seems appropriate enough. |
| 天 | Inflicts damage of Crono's element. Means 'sky' or 'heaven', not 'lightning'. |
| 水 | Inflicts damage of Marle and Frog's element. Means 'water'. |
| 火 | Inflicts damage of Lucca's element. Means 'fire'. |
| 冥 | Inflicts damage of Magus's element. Means 'dark'. |
| ※ | Inflicts non-elemental magical damage. |
| N/A | Doesn't target enemies. |
| - | Undetermined. |
| Targetting | |
| Self | Only the user. |
| Ally | Any single ally. |

| かいてんぎり 飛びこみまわりにいる敵をきる |
Spinning Cut Leaps in and slices nearby enemies |
Cyclone Spin-cut nearby enemies |
MP: 2 Type: 体 Hits: Zone |
| It took me a while to figure out what the ぎり (giri) in all these attack names is, but it's really simple. Take the verb 切る (kiru), or any of the varients that mean aproximately "to cut", make it nounish 切り (kiri), and then tack it onto another word for the pronounciation shift to 'giri'. That's right, it just means 'cut'. | |||
| かまいたち かまいたちを飛ばして攻撃／天 |
Whirlwind Slash Attack letting whirlwind slash fly / Sky |
Slash Slash attack |
MP: 2 Type: 天 Hits: Ray |
| かまいたち is listed in my dictionary as a cut caused by a whirlwind. I've seen several attacks with this name in various anime and video games, and they all involve extremely violent winds that have a tendency to rip things to shreds. A Japanese-Japanese dictionary I checked refers to a phenomenon (usually occuring in extreme cold) in which the vacuum caused by tiny whirlwinds cuts the body like a scythe, even without anything solid touching it. | |||
| ★サンダー 敵単体にかみなりの魔法／天 |
★Thunder Thunder magic to one enemy / Sky |
★Lightning Attack using Lightning |

Chaotic Cut Four consecutive attacks to one enemy |
Confuse Attack enemy w/ Confuse 4 times |
MP: 12 Type: 体 Hits: Enemy |
| ★シャイニング 敵全体にせいなる最強魔法／天 |
★Shining Strongest holy magic to all enemies / Sky |
★Luminaire Ultimate damage on all enemies |
MP: 20 Type: 天 Hits: Enemies |
| At equal level and magic power, Crono's ★Shining is stronger than either Lucca's ★Flare or Magus's ★Dark Matter. The JP version states outright what I have long suspected: This is a holy attack spell. |

| ★ケアルガ 味方単体のＨＰ回復／大 |
★Curega Recovers HP of one ally / Large |
★Cure 2 Heal ally (Full) |
MP: 5 Type: N/A Hits: Ally |
| The NA version lies. Though the spell is quite powerful, it still depends on magic power and won't always fully heal unless Marle's magic power is high enough (around 40?). | |||

| ベロロン ベロでなめて味方単体に回復／小 |
Tongue Slurp Licks with tongue and recovers HP to one ally / Small |
Slurp Restore ally's HP (Some) |
MP: 1 Type: N/A Hits: Ally |
| ベロ (BERO) is slang for tongue. I'm guessing that ロン (RON) is supposed to be a slurping noise. Put the two together, and... | |||
| ベロロンぎり 敵単体をベロで引き込んで剣できる |
Tongue Slurp Cut Draws in an enemy with tongue and cuts with sword |
Slurp Cut Snag and Slash enemy |

MP: 8 Type: 水 Hits: Enemies |
| ★ケアルガ 味方単体にＨＰ回復／大 |
★Curega Recovers HP to one ally / Large |
★Cure 2 Restore ally's HP (Full) |
MP: 5 Type: N/A Hits: Ally |
| The NA version lies. Though the spell is powerful, it still depends on magic power and won't fully heal unless Frog's magic power is high enough (around 40?). As far as I can tell, Frog's ★Curega is identical to Marle's. It seems weaker because Frog's magic power is lower. |
|||
| かえるおとし 敵全体にＨＰが少ないほどダメージ |
Frog Drop More damage to all enemies the lower HP is |
Frog Squash Low HP = greater damage |
MP: 15 Type: 体 Hits: Enemies |

| まるまじろキック 敵単体にとびげり攻撃 |
Marumajiro Kick Dropkick attack to one enemy |
Rollo Kick Rollokick an enemy |
MP: 2 Type: 体 Hits: Enemy |
| Marumajiro is an enemy name. To be consistent, the NA version name ought to be "Roly Kick", but it isn't. | |||
| ひっかきかみつき 敵単体にひっかき攻撃 |
Scratching and Biting Scratching attack to one enemy |

MP: 3 Type: 体 Hits: Enemy |

| Certain enemies are unthrowable, and Rock Throw will always miss them. | |||
| いろじかけ 敵単体にウフ～ン。アイテムをもらう |
Seductive Trick (Flirt with)* one enemy. Get item |
Charm Steal from enemy |
MP: 4 Type: - Hits: Enemy |
| いろじかけ (orijikake) also means "Venus flytrap", but I think the more literal meaning is more appropriate here. ウワ～ン (UWA~N) isn't a word. It's probably a sound effect. My guess is it's spoosed to be a sexy noise. |
|||
| しっぽたつまき 自分のまわりの敵にたつまき攻撃 |
Tail Tornado Tornado attack to enemies around self |
Tail Spin Damage enemies w/ Tailspin |
MP: 10 Type: ※ Hits: Near |
| Tail Tornado is special, because it's one of only two techniques in the game to inflict damage that is neither physical nor elemental (the other is Poyozo Dance). This means it can damage even foes that are immune to physical and null or absorb all elements (i.e., are supposed to be invincible), which is interesting, if not useful. | |||
| きょうりゅう 敵全体にＨＰが少ないほどダメージ |
Dinosaur More damage to all enemies the lower HP is |

| ★サンダガ 敵全体にかみなり魔法／天 |
★Thundaga Thunder magic to all enemies / Sky |
★Lightning2 Damage enemies w/ Lightning |
MP: 8 Type: 天 Hits: Enemies |
| This is probably not the same as Crono's ★Thundaga, but it's not easy to boost Crono's magic high enough to match Magus's for testing. | |||
| ★アイスガ 敵全体に氷の魔法／水 |
★Ice-ga Ice magic to all enemies / Water |
★Ice 2 Damage enemies w/ Ice |
MP: 8 Type: 水 Hits: Enemies |
| This is not the same as Marle's ★Ice-ga. At equal level and magic power, Magus's inflicts about 40-50% more damage. | |||
| ★ファイガ 敵全体に火の魔法／火 |
★Faiga Fire magic to all enemies / Fire |
★Fire 2 Damage enemies w/ Fire |
MP: 8 Type: 火 Hits: Enemies |
| This is not the same as Lucca's ★Faiga. At equal level and magic power, Magus's inflicts about 40-50% more damage. | |||

★Black Hole Chooses life or death for enemies in circular range |
★Black Hole Power of Life/Death |

| Crono: Spinning Cut (2 MP) | Robo: Spinning Laser (3 MP) | Ayla: Tail Tornado (10 MP) | |
| If it is supposed to be "Big Tornado", it should be spelled ビッグトルネード. Maybe it's a typo, or maybe it's a different meaning entirely. |

PoyozoDance Damage w/ ? Magic & Chaos |
Type: ※ Hits: Enemies |
| Marle: Provocation (1 MP) | Lucca: Hypnotic Sound Wave (1 MP) | Ayla: Tail Tornado (10 MP) | |
| Poyozo Dance is special, because it's one of only two techniques in the game to inflict damage that is neither physical nor elemental (the other is Ayla's Tail Tornado). This means it can damage even foes that are immune to physical and null or absorb all elements (i.e., are supposed to be invincible), not that there's any real purpose to doing so. |

Type: 体 Hits: Enemies |
| Marle: ★Araise (15 MP) | Robo: Heal Beam (3 MP) | Frog: Frog Drop (15 MP) | |
| Like Frog's Frog Drop, Grandream does damage proportional to how badly Frog is hurt. Frog must have the Grandleon equipped to use Grandream. Interesting that Marle and Robo contribute healing techniques... |
