Espers and Magicite
Espers possess magical powers. By equipping magicite, the crystallized essence of an esper's power,
characters can learn magic spells and gain the ability to summon the mystic beasts.
Some magicite provides a permanent increase to a certain attribute whenever the character equipping it
gains a level. For example, Ramuh provides a one-point boost to the character's stamina attribute.
