Formula to increase MA by 1?

I recognize that the answer is probably no to this, since I've been searching around FFTPatcher for a few weeks. However, just to put my mind to rest so I can move on, I will ask it here in case anyone has come across the same question.

There are formulas for increasing PA (Focus) and Speed (Tailwind), but there isn't a corresponding formula to increase MA. However, that DOES exist in the game's code, since the support ability "Magick Boost" uses it. Is the formula hidden somewhere (like in formulas 6B-FF), where I could apply it to an action ability, or is this a lost cause without ASM?

Default Scream boost from Ramza's vanilla set increases MA. Maybe you can reverse engineering that one?

Sorry, this requires ASM.  :(  If you were not using Wotl, it's a fairly simple ASM to make.

Thanks Emmy. That's what I thought. I just had to ask.

i tried it and it works for me.
