Edgar retrieves the first batch of Magicite from Zozo in Final Fantasy VI.
Main Walkthrough

Each Final Fantasy has its own system for levelling and learning new skills and abilities, and in Final Fantasy VI that system is governed by magicite. Found as glowing crystals a little ways into the game, magicite can be equipped by characters, thereafter accumulating AP. If a character accumulates enough AP with magicite attached they will gain new, permanent spells. Magicite may also bestow stat bonuses if equipped when a character gains a level, and they can be used as summons during a fight. In short, magicite is pretty damned versatile.

Below is a listing of the magicite in Final Fantasy VI. Included are their locations, when you can find them, how much it costs to summon their espers, the bonus gained to a character's stats upon level-up, which spells are learned by equipping the esper, and how many points you can towards learning a spell per AP gained after a successful battle.
