Origin
Meteor is a recurring spell in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually one of the stronger spells and summons a barrage of meteorites to bombard enemies. It either does single non-elemental damage, or hits for mediocre damage multiple times. It is depicted as an upgraded form of the Comet spell, or replaces it in games where Comet does not appear.
