The 'key' to learning Blue magic spells are 1: Magus Jubbah, 2: Mirage Keffiyeh, 3: Mavi Tayt +2(+1 is good too), 4: Mavi Scarf, 5: Mavi Tathlum, 6: CAPPED MAGIC, 7: Magus Bazubands and 8(Optional): Blue magic Merits

if it wasn't obvious the bolded part is most important etc.

The above gear with level 90 capped magic puts you at 422 magic skill.
Even if you dont have All of the gear above, you should still have your af body/hands...
Failed to Bold AF hands, which is the most important and should be number 1. What's been confirmed is magic skill determines minimum level of learning spells. You can say capping skill helps learning spells but from my experience it's just anecdotal evidence.
