====Final Fantasy VII Rebirth====
Aeroga is the third tier spell from the Wind Materia. It deals large magical wind damage to a target and costs two ATB segments to cast. If the character casting the spell has unlocked their wind-elemental weapon ability (e.g. Wind Current for Cloud), Aeroga becomes Aeroga α, which is not more powerful than normal a Aeroga spell, but will bestow a wind-elemental sphere to the spellcaster for the rest of the battle (unless the player changes the element with Fire α etc.) that will circle their character model and will supplement small magical wind-elemental damage when defending against certain enemy attacks (perfect-blocking not needed) and when using ATB abilities.
