CloseWhat is the class or technique called that learns a monster's tactics? Its not a joke, its aquestion. Is it Observer?
Blue Mage, typically. His resultant skillset is Blue Magic. But that's FFV-style.
Gau could do Learn and Rage in FFVI, and Strago had Lore (and Lore is identical to blue magic).
In my game, I have a LARPer and his "blue magic" will be called "LARP" (ie - name it what you want!)

I thought Blue Mages were Callers, but I'm not sure.
I remember the FFVI characters being able to :-) Which is how I remembered the idea.
Thank you Mr. Anderson.

So why is blue magic called blue magic? Would a caller be like yellow magic?
No, this is yellow magic.

When FF1 hit our shores we couldn't figure out Red magic either. White I get, Black I get...wait, being able to do both is called Red? I remember conversations trying to figure out why it wasn't called Grey. (Wow, he really would have looked like Gandalf.) Then Blue came out and my head exploded. The simple answer is that for whatever reason they picked red previously, blue is just the next good opposite choice. It matches white, black and red without actually meaning anything. So I'm afraid there isn't an answer, or more specifically, probably just that disappointing one.
Sometimes they break up the schools...they took out White's buffs and Black's debuffs and made Green magic, though briefly. (Some folks, back when FF "2" came out for our SNES, thought calling / summoning was Green because the character, Rydia, is practically monotone.) They've also made separate Time magic schools that had a little of both, but that's about the time they stopped being so hardcore about using the colors. Kimahri's blue was called Lancet and Ronso Rage. Quina Quen's lancet was called Eat.
Not sure if you're making an FF game, and if you are the best of luck. For whatever my two cents are worth, I wouldn't feel like you have to stick with Blue unless you want to. Wild Arms 1 had a swordsman who developed new sword techs by seeing things happen in cutscenes or on the map; that's always stayed with me and I love the idea of getting new powers from monsters or whatever but using the same custom flavor that swordsman had.

I thought the general term for this sort of thing was "Enemy Skill". It's even what it's called in FF7. It might as well be called Blue Mage because Megaman is blue and he gets all the bosses powers after he kills them.

Black + White = Red.
Thanks, Japan.
That's not why you should thank Japan. This is why you should thank Japan:

Now if only I knew Blue Magic so I could steal the attacks from the Oni...

I never thought of that! I think you're on to something here!
@ShortStar I'm reading more on the Blue magic color, it looks like FF says that monsters' blood is blue as well.
