Both Technicks & Magicks in the game are basically abilities that you can use in order to defeat your enemies. However, in order to use these abilities, you first must acquire the appropriate scroll and the license.
Technicks
Technicks are basically abilities that don’t need MP. However, in order to use a Technick, you must acquire the Technick Scroll & unlock the required license on a character’s License Board.

However, to be able to use the Technick ability by a certain character, you have to buy the license for that ability for the specified character using license points after having first bought the ability at the shop.
