Secret of Mana Magic List
This lists all 41 magic spells that can be cast in the game. If anything else is done by the enemy, I assure you, it doens't do anything to their MP. This gives more complete information than any other magic list I know, so be prepared for the ultimate magic list! L9 magic is really only a random special animation that sometimes appears when you cast a L8 spell.
