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?

Always interpreting the foul side of things makes you fouler still.

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.
