Tutorial:Manipulating the Blue Magic template
From BGWiki
The Blue Magic template is probably the most complex template written yet, reason being that the template incorporates a number of factors. Based in the inputs of the template, the template changes form to display certain information.
The Template, In Full
The template appears as follows, in it's full glory:
{{Blue Magic
|class= <!-- Either Physical/Magical -->
|subclass= <!-- The most IMPORTANT variable. Input either damage, nuke, drain, breath, healing, buff or enfeeble and it will alter the table's displayed parameters

|nohits= <!-- Can be left null and will not appear. Otherwise it will appear with the number of hits -->
|desc= <!-- Description -->
|mp= <!-- MP Cost -->
