Stat Capsules (Tabs) - All Locations

Stat Capsules permanently raise a character's stats by 1. They appear as blinking blue dots on the ground - walk over them to pick them up. The DS/PC versions call them "Capsules"; the SNES version calls them "Tabs." Same items, different names.

Totals: 17 Magic Capsules, 16 Power Capsules, 11 Speed Capsules findable in the world. You can also Charm them from certain enemies and earn them from Spekkio.

Magic Capsules

17 findable in the world. Lucca and Magus cap their Magic stat through leveling, so give these to characters who won't max out naturally - Crono, Marle, Frog, or Robo.

Spekkio Rewards

The shapeshifter at the End of Time gives capsules when you beat him. His form changes based on your party's level - stronger forms give better rewards. You can fight him once per visit.

The Nu form requires all party members at exactly level ** (99 in most versions). That's a lot of grinding. But 30 capsules at once is a solid payoff if you're going for max stats.
