Starting my very first FF6 hack and had some basic questions.

Aaaaaaactually, it'd be a fairly simple process to code an item that gives you magicite -- it would make it a two-step process (Ragnarok morphs enemy into item, you use item to grant you Magicite/Esper/Soul), but I could probably code it up in half an hour. Probably less. If you still want to go that route, I'd be happy to do it up for you.
