* In ''Videogame/EarthBound'', spells are acquired by leveling up, except for the two tiers of Teleport for Ness. The first Teleport must be learned [[ItMakesSenseInContext from a talking monkey]], and the second one is automatically acquired after completing the Magicant level.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', Lucas learns [[LightEmUp PK Flash]] by ''getting struck by lightning.'' Kumatora also learns PK Starstorm in the same fashion, though it's voluntary in her case.

*** Most skills are learned by getting AP in combat for the respective job. Besides the usual Blue Magic taking form of Blue Bullet this time, there are some jobs that can be learned only by getting specific items first, such as Magical Masque and MP Mambo for Dancer class and Limit Breakers for every Special Class. A variation are an ultimate skill and Ribbon for Mascot; while other classes may require learning of some previous skills for the same job, these ones require learning a skill of a ''different'' job first.

** In the first game, the most powerful skills of Yuri's level three fusions can only be learned by letting him go berserk in battle.
** In both ''Covenant'' and ''From the new World'' the skills of all characters sans harmonixers like Yuri, Kuranto and Shania are tied to their personal sidequests. Some of them make sense (Joachim learning new wrestling moves by sparing with his teacher The Great Gama; Frank gaining new Ninja skills by completing the trials set up by members of his village), other... don't (Karin learning new sword arts by reading chapters of [[Music/RichardWagner Wagner]]'s ''[[Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung Der Ring des Nibelungen]]'', Geppeto gaining new puppet spells by trading gay porn to a CampGay Tailor in exchange for new dresses for his doll daughter).
