Therefore once a mob uses a move there is no need to let it live to use it again since your chances of learning said spell are gained by the mobs initial use only.

Going to see if I can dig up that test after I get home tomorrow
Interesting that you akin learning Blue Magic to a loot drop, because it seemed to me that whenever I went /thf or had someone around for TH my spells were always learned within a couple battles at most. Then again I could just be lucky or it could be all in my head lol. Then again maybe Blue Magic is exactly like a drop that just isn't put into the treasure pool lol.
