Below is a list of Spells and Skills from Megami Tensei II. All Spells have an MP cost, but Extra Skills, which are randomly used in place of a demon's normal attack, do not.
As the names of spells differ across the original Famicom version and the remake Kyūyaku Megami Tensei, both sets of names will be noted.
All Sword Skills use the same names between versions, are Extra, deal damage, and hit 1-2 times.
