** Magic Hammer pulls triple duty in ''FinalFantasyXI'', what with not only draining MP and giving it to you, but ''causing HP damage as well''. Blue Mages can only learn it at level 74, however. There's also [[MagicDance Aspir Samba]], which Dancers use to let party members drain an enemy's MP.
** There's also White Draw, a Dragoon skill in ''FinalFantasyIX''. It drains MP from an enemy and splits it among all the current party members.
** ''FinalFantasyVIII'' has the draw command, which lets you pull spells out of the enemies' bodies to replenish your own stock. Beware, however; some enemies, such as Ochu and [[spoiler: The final boss]] can mana drain ''you''.
** In ''FinalFantasyTacticsA2'', spells are kept from being overly powerful by MP starting at zero and regenerating 10 each turn. For this reason, Osmose's straight MP drain would be too powerful when used by a mage class, and we instead get the Arcanist class's "Syphon" spell which drains the opponent's MP and restores an equal amount of the casters '''H'''P. The Lanista attack "Sword of Light" still does this conventionally, probably because Seeq don't have a lot to spend MP on.
