MMMMMMMagic update

Some people might prefer if you made it an optional side patch to the main patch. But what do I know.

You know what you want, which is a good thing!

I'm curious as to what would happen if you equipped an item that taught a spell, while earning Magic Points while equipped with an Esper that taught the spell.

Like I said above: currently, equipment can't teach you anything, so in 2.0 it would do nothing. With the "solution" I'm suggesting here, it wouldn't set the "known" bit for the magic, but rather add the spell to the list later on down the line, so you would still be able to learn the spell from Espers normally, while simultaneously having the spell available from having the equipment set.

I like the way you think. Of course, someone could always go further from your solution and have Esper magic work that way...as in add the spell an Esper teaches as being "available" while equipped but still learning it normally until it is fully learned (similar to FF9 and FFTA).

Yes, that's outside the scope of your project...and somebody has probably already done this.  It's just an idle thought.
