Since the addition of Faithful Falcorr, the spell description for Jettatura on the blue magic menu now refers to the blue mage as a "pet." However, it is still correct on the set spells screen.
Also, Migawari: Ichi's description uses the wrong preposition. It should be "immune to severely damaging attacks," not "immune from severely damaging attacks."
To be "immune from" would mean that severely damaging attacks could not even target you. A real-life use of this: "He's immune from further taxation."
"Immune to" would mean that the attacks can target you, but they will have no effect, which is what the spell does. A real-life example: "She's immune to his charms."
Migawari's current description actually falsifies its effect. Most players wouldn't notice, but linguistically, the spell description greatly misrepresents the spell's effect.
