Kinda yeah, but even vanilla FF Blue Mages are implied to be copying monster anatomy to some degree. 1000 Needles is a Cactaur firing its cactus needles, Goblin Punch is just a goblin-specific martial strike, Bombs destabilize at low health and Self-Destruct, and Matra Magic has been a literal physical missile barrage. The sprites/animations were vague enough back then to not know if we're actually shapeshifting those features or just kind of summoning copies, outside of a handful of examples. But FFXI Blue Mages physically mutate into mindflayers if they fuck up too bad, so physical mutation is definitely at least sometimes on the table.
Pic related, the R.550 Magic, produced by Italian arms manufacturer Matra. I have no idea why Square named an attack after it, but there it is.
