Line 74:
* ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' gives us {{spoiler|Cid Raines}} fighting with high speed martial arts and high powered [[Non-Elemental|Ruin]] spells.
** [[Final Fantasy XIII|Lightning]] can fulfill this trope as well when set as a [[Black Mage|Ravager]], do to her utilizing various elemental sword strikes, while she is clearly a very proficient martial artist via various cut scenes and in actual in-game combat. In fact, she ties Vanille as the second most powerful mage/wizard/whatever in the party, and for martial strength is second only to Fang (who is the strongest out of all the party members).
* An example of a [[Combat Medic]] meets the [[Kung Fu Magic]] are the monks and master monks in the Shining franchise. ''[[Shining Force]]'' gives us Gong, a monk who knows how to cast healing spells and can stand his own in combat. Then in ''Shining Force 2'', monks can be made even more powerful to near [[Game Breaker]] levels. Sarah and Karna gain the Blast spell, so they can not only sends someone packing with their fists but can also inflict a little magic damage. The [[
* [[The Legend of Zelda|Ganondorf]] is frequently described as a "master wizard," but in the games themselves this power seems to be relegated specifically to [[Kamehame Hadoken|fireballs]], [[Super Smash Bros.|punching and kicking people to death while using dark energy to power up]], swordplay, or [[Animorphism|turning into a beast]] to bite and claw victims.
** Most of Ganon's magic isn't related to combat: he uses fireballs/energy blasts, he occasionally flies, but that's about it. He is very well-versed in large-scale barrier magic, summoning Phantoms, and cursing entire societies (freezing Zora's Domain seems to be a favorite).
