thumb|250px|Darkga is an Arcane Magicks spell.
Arcane Magicks is a skillset in Final Fantasy XII. It deals with damage-dealing spells, and its licenses are exclusive to the Red Battlemage in the Zodiac versions.
==Mechanics==
Damage calculation:
:[POW \times RANDOM(1 \sim 1.125) - Magick~Resist] \times [2 + {Magick~Power \times (Level+Magick~Power) \over 256}]Final Fantasy XII Game Mechanics FAQ by maltzsan
The damage is boosted if the caster is affected by Faith (to 130% of normal), wears equipment with elemental affinity, what augments have been purchased on the License Board, and whether the enemy is weak against the used element.
The success rate of negative status spells are unaffected by the target's Magick Evade.
:Success~Rate = Base~Rate + (MAG~of~user - VIT~of~target) \%
==List of Arcane Magicks==
"MP cost" is defined as default MP cost. Channeling Augments lower the MP cost of any spell. Spells do not consume MP if they do not connect with their target.
In the Zodiac versions most Arcane Magicks were re-classified as Time Magicks while the powerful fire-elemental spell, Ardor, was moved into the Arcane Magicks. Only the Red Battlemage can wield Arcane Magick, and certain spells can be obtained from treasures.
