The magic data is stored in an .LGP file located in the game folder:
\Final Fantasy VII\data\battle\magic.lgpUse Aali's lgp tool to extract and later recompile the data from
magic.lgp.

Use img2tex to convert the textures to .PNG.

The best way to identify the correct .PNG texture name is to delete the original texture file from the .LGP, play the game and check the
APP.LOG for the texture name.
Using this method, I was unable to determine the correct \mods\ folder for magic textures.Instead, convert the .PNG's back to .TEX and replace the originals in the
magic.lgp file.
Some files are duplicated within
magic.lgp. Make sure to replace all of them!
Alternately, use the external
\textures\ folder. This requires hex editing the original texture files in
magic.lgp.
Simplify this task by installing Avalanche to automatically redirect many magic textures to the
\textures\ folder.
The .PNG file names are correct already.
