Is there a point in ever using DARK? It works only on occasions and enemies don't seem very affected by it, their attacks almost always hit. I personally recommend against buying it.
There are some spells that were bugged in the NES version and didn't do anything at all. DARK may have been one of them.
Then there's AMUT, which is worthless because no monsters in the game can actually cast MUTE on you.
4 do. EYE, GrNAGA, PHANTOM and WzVAMP.
yea, but what are the odds if you are playing a serious game where your gonna encounter the use of MUTE even then?
True, but there's a difference between "can" and "do". I just felt like being pedantic. Technically AMUT isn't completely worthless.
Speaking of worthless, I wonder why they needed so many different kinds of instant death spells.
They did that in case you were bored with the same spell over and over again
Ive never seen Mute from anything in any version, and I've played all of them, aside from the obvious WSC version. At least three of the Death spells are different elements, while the other three are low odds, higher ods, low odds to all. Its gilaious how no enemy is actually immune to the death spells, I killed Chaos with one and laughed and laughed

They may have done it so that if you ran out of charges with one level, you can still cast a death spell on a different level.
Me neither. Thats why I never use AMUT.
I think they maybe just needed to fill in spaces so the black mages could have the same number of spells as white mages. Though, I suppose the death spells could be thought of in tiers just like the elemental spells--Death1, Death2, Death3. Thanks for the info, Devalaous, I'm definitely going to try and kill Chaos with a death spell now.
theres no fun in decking the final boss with an instant death
Just for the record, though, theres six instant death spells: Bane, Qake, Rub, Brak, XXXX, and Zap!
Yes, in my mind it's like the cure and heal spells. You have 3 death spells that work on single targets and 3 on all targets.
Still too many though.
wow can you really use a death spell on Chaos
Quick question. Out of ALL the spells here, what spells do i ABSOLUTLY MUST HAVE for white and black wizards???
@Neo: Exit and Fast.
Other than Exit or Fast
@Neo:
Sleep is nice early on. All levels of fire are pretty good. LIT2-3, FAST, ICE3, and NUKE covers the black magic list.
White magic: All levels of Cure. No question. Heal's not bad, either. RUSE is WONDERFUL up till you get the Defense sword. I'd go with all A(Element) spells, too. You might need 'em for Lich. The upper levels of HARM aren't a bad way to go, and FADE and LIF2 round out the list.
All white magic is useful except lamp, fear, amut, soft, and arub. Others you might want to avoid are fog and mute. As for black magic, all the elemental spells are usefel, as well as fast and nuke. Tmpr is bugged in the nes, but useful in the remakes.
Lamp is legit because Dark totally works.
I will never forget a long LONG fought battle between a WzOgre and my lone thief in the bowels of Gurgu. At a sufficient level, My blind lil Thief could not so much as hit for 1 DMG against the Ogre over the course or probably over 10 turns.
Of course, he wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't going to kill Kary with a mid-teen level Thief equipped with a Rune Sword and about 8 heals, but the principal is sound.
Had I used lamp before my wm died, I would've killed the Ogre. instead, I didn't.
Also, when I first played, I did not know the power or Pro-Rings at all. I understood that they provided some defense, but I thought the casting items were more imprtant. It was a long time before I learned the truth about them, and maybe I had to be told.
ARUB was the lifesaver. You can guarantee that it was the first spell I used in many fights, especially including Chaos.
Ok, i think we need a poll for each level of magic what spells u recomend
I find arub isnt so great. just equip prorings and ribbons
yeah, but like I said, the effects of ProRings and Ribbons aren't very obvious.
I never used a ribbon until I read stuff about them online.
I guess I wasn't an inventive enough child to equip a cheap, weak armor-value helmet and wait around to test if the character using it was more resiliant against elemental/magical attacks.
I don't feel particularly dumb for measuring the worth of a ribbon and a Heal/Opal helmet etc and using the latter instead.
This: ARUB is prwtty damn necessary when a Sandworm or an Eye or Chaos suddenly attacks.
Magic in FFONE is overrated
I'm pretty certain that Red Mages/Wizards can learn PURE...

Ooh, that Post Comment button is sensitive! Sorry about that...
@K24FFONE:NO!NO!NO! I couldn't BELEIVE! you just said that!MAGIC IS A LIFESAVER!
1. Agree with Kaos Killer, Having no magical ability in FF1 = Fail
2. Anyone have a definite list one what spells are bugged and have no effect? Would be greatly appreciated.
SABR, TMPR, LOCK, LOK2, all bugged in NES
is STOP worth getting, or should i get ZAP! instead?
is Harm Usefull a white mage
a = For
It's useful in any party for fighting undead, but it's pretty much essential if you have a WM but no BM for whatever reason. You'll need the extra offense.
Ill take that in to consideration then its only 100 gp. So, why not.
about the 10000 elemental spells thing, I assume the purpose was to implement various death spells with different elements. This is not well done, though, since monsters can't be stoned or poisioned. If they could be, BRAK would likely stone enemies and BANE would poison them (and do damage). And in a perfect world, RUB would be named DETH or something like that
for some foolish reason, i assumed that my knight and ninja would have some starting mp (im playing DoS, not NES) when i class changed, so i rounded up all them lower level spells, went to gurgu, and screamed in frustration. did you ever skip gurgu completely and do it last? without the cash intake from that dungeon, i was SCREWED.
also, FADE made my white wizard godly. seriously. she didnt do anything at all, and then BOOM! FADE!
