If it happened, it would need to happen before he got all magic-obsessed like he is in canon. It'd need to be strong enough to break through his ambition. Threats to Team Magitek (aka Dr. Cid and Celes) would work--he'd drop magic like a hot potato and learn something else to help them instead.

As he is now? Nope. Not happening. It's gonna kill him? He'll just speed up his plans to become a god of magic before that happens. It'll drive him mad? LOL he's already been in the depths of despair with magic on the brain, he fears it not. And mental illness is not the end of the world! It'll ruin his social life? It's already ruined. Lose his status? Welp, he'll just have to hurry up and become a god.

That's quite some imagination/determination/insanity there xD

It's not insanity! It's ambition and determination!

If I may tl;dr a bit--Kefka's magic didn't drive him ~crazy~. (That misconception that evil = crazy really annoys me |D;) He's always been ambitious; he's always had a ruthless streak; he's always had some control freak tendencies; he's always had a bad temper and occasional dips into depression -- but adding actual magic to the mix, which tends to increase aggression and mess up emotional stability and turn people less 'human' etc etc, pushed those traits to the forefront.

You may always tl;dr.

And that makes a lot of sense that magic simply enhanced who he already was. A very logical approach to how it works.

Exactly!

Other paths he could have gone, if he had magic work out better or was in a different world, would reflect that -- a lawful neutral control freak god who is going to make EVERYONE HAPPY NO MATTER WHAT on his little world; a lawful good warrior for good who tends to overwhelm himself in trying to do everything and dresses up as a white mage because that's awesome; a true neutral military commander with a winning streak and a no survivors policy; and so on.

Kefka as military commander is something I want to see...from very far away...behind layers and layers of protective glass.
