Is it possible to spare Magus but also cure Frog in Chrono Trigger?
In my game (the DS port of Chrono Trigger) I spared Magus, but in the ending sequence, both he and Frog appeared--and Frog was cured! I had been told that sparing Magus automatically meant that Frog would not be cured in the end, and that the only way to cure Frog was to kill Magus when you have the opportunity to fight him a second time. But, like I said, Frog appeared in the ending sequence as a human man, and Magus wooshed by during the montage, so I got to have my cake and eat it too.
I have so far been unable to find any corroboration on the Internet or anywhere else that the ending I got, with both Magus alive and Frog turned back human, is supposed to exist at all. Is there anyone out there who also got this ending? I have my theories as to how it came about, but I want to know if anyone else has had this experience, and what it was that they did to bring it about.

This ending it's called in the wikia as Revenge for Cyrus
If you face Magus in Noth Cape with Frog on face to face battle, sparing him or killing him will result in this ending after defeating lavos.
Furthermore, killing or sparing him changes a little the final sequence but in both cases Frog becomes Glenn (human) again.

Go south to Porre and enter Tata's house, and talk to Tata to get the Hero Medal. Getting the Hero Medal from Tata opens up a new ending. Beat the final boss now if you can, to get the ending "The Unknown Past". Then go northwest to the Cursed Woods, go north and climb down the ladder behind the bush, and talk to Frog.How do you beat Magno Chrono?
If you have Frog in your party, a normal attack with the Masamune equipped will lower Magus' magical defence. A healer, or two, is very necessary for this battle. If you have Marle, then you can use haste (if you have it) which will greatly help in the battle, especially when he tries to cast Dark Matter.Chrono Trigger (Part 79) - Magus Joins
