Effect: n/a. This entry, hex value 0x00, acts as "no spell" in spell lists.

This does have data formatted like normal spells, for what it's worth. According to its flags, it targets all enemies and is usable only out of combat.

Effect: Recovers 120 HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 33, and Rand at level 35.

Named CuraX in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Thunder magic damage at 50 power. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, and Nina at level 13.

Named Gale in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Recovers 40 HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Rand and Aspara learn it at level 1, Bosch at level 2, and Ryu at level 7.

Named Cura in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Cures Poison, Zombie, and the pre-Zombie Rotting status. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 3, and Rand at level 5.

Named Heal in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Wind magic damage at 80 power. Usable only in combat. Nina learns it at level 22.

New spell. Other than having a vaguely breezy sound to them, I can't discern any significance to the wind spell names.

Effect: Steals 30% of target's current AP or 30 AP, whichever is less, but may fail depending on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Nina at level 17, and Aspara at level 22.

Named Drain in the English version of BoF1, so at least this one is consistent.

Effect: Fire magic damage at 120 power. Usable only in combat. Lin Pu learns it at level 11 (but lacks the AP to cast it), Sten at level 33, Dís at level 36, and Nina at level 55.

Named Char in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: 176 to 191 undefendable damage. Internal effect that triggers from Aspara's Nature command when used on forest terrain.

The name doesn't display, just the usual message for the command. If hacked into a spell list, it does 0 damage when used on the wrong terrain.

Internal effect that triggers when attempting to use a skill without having enough AP to do so.

The name doesn't display, just the ちからがたりない ("not enough power") or "TooWeak" message.

Effect: Fire magic damage at 25 power. Usable only in combat. Nina learns it at level 1, and Sten at level 5.

Named Flare in the English version of BoF1. Also, I tend to think "electricity" when I hear "spark", for what it's worth.

Effect: Recovers all HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 30, and Rand at level 37.

Named Cura3 in the English version of BoF1. However, it only recovers 250 HP in that game. The full healing spell in BoF1, リフル (Leefull), was named Cura4 in the English release, surprisingly making the English versions more consistent in this case.

Effect: Recovers all HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 40. Characters must have at least 200 Mood to use this spell.

Bosch's Mood tends to be astronomical, so you'll almost certainly never notice the limitation.

New spell, with similar naming to existing healing magic and a part that sounds like "rest".

Effect: Cures Curse, Sleep, Poison, Zombie, and Rotting status. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 23, and Rand at level 31.

New spell, with similar naming to the lesser status cure.

Effect: Revives an Incapacited ally, restoring 25% of maximum HP, but has a 30% failure rate. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 20, Rand at level 27, and Tapeta at level 34. Additionally, Ray will teach this to a character of your choice after the dry well event if you save at least five villagers.

Named Renew in the English version of BoF1, so that's consistent.

Effect: Revives an Incapacitated ally, restoring full HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Bosch learns it at level 36. Characters must have at least 250 Mood to use this spell.

Bosch's Mood tends to be astronomical, so you're unlikely to ever notice the limitation.

Named RenewX in the English version of BoF1, which has a 6-character name limit.

Effect: Removes all status effects (positive and negative) except Incapacitated from all combatants.

The name doesn't display, just the boss's "be gone"/"disappear" line.

Effect: Not fully implemented. Inflicts 0 damage. The BoF1 equivalent reflects one enemy spell at half power.

Named Wall in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Gives Defense Up status, raising effective defense by 20%. Usable only in combat. Bosch learns it at level 26, and Aspara at level 32.

Named FortX in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Gives Defense Up status, raising effective defense by 20%. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Bosch at level 5, and Aspara at level 14.

Named Fort in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Gives Agility Up status. I need to test this, but it reportedly is glitched and does nothing in the SFC original but works properly (doubling effective Mobility, capped at 511) in the GBA version. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Tapeta at level 10, and Aspara at level 12.

Named Ag-Up in the English version of BoF1, so that's consistent.

Effect: Gives Attack Up status, doubling effective attack power (capped at 511). Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, and Aspara at level 36.

New spell, with the name possibly derived from "gigas", and sharing the 't' ending of most other buffs.

BoF1 has a similar spell named ギーガン (roughly Gigan), or ATK-Up in the English version.

Effect: Gives Wisdom Up status, doubling effective wisdom (capped at 255). Usable only in combat. Aspara learns it at level 30.

New spell, though I'm not sure where the name came from. It vaguely resembles "barrier", so maybe that?

The English version of BoF1 gave the name Shield to a spell with a similar effect, but that one is マカト (roughly Makat) in Japanese and works by reducing magic damage directly, while this spell does so indirectly by raising a stat that helps defend against it.

Effect: Inflicts Sleep status, but may fail based on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Aspara learns it at level 16, and Tapeta at level 20.

Named Hold in the English version of BoF1.

The English version of BoF1 called the トノロ (Tonoro) spell Idle. That spell reduces target Mobility, making it similar to the Dull (Ag-Down) spell in this game.

Effect: Inflicts Silence status, but may fail based on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Aspara learns it at level 10, and Tapeta at level 12.

New spell, though I'm not sure where the name came from. It does sound sort of like incoherent babbling, anyway.

BoF1 has a similar spell that the English version called Hush, but it was named マナレ (roughly Manahre) in Japanese.

Effect: Inflicts Defense Down status, halving effective defense power, but may fail based on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Aspara at level 8, and Nina at level 15.

New spell. No obvious meaning beyond the similarity to the other debuffs.

Effect: Inflicts Agility Down status, halving effective speed, but may fail based on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Aspara at level 3, and Nina at level 8.

New spell, with a name suggestive of sluggishness.

Effect: Inflicts Attack Down status, reducing attack damage by roughly 1/8, but may fail based on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Aspara at level 6, Nina at level 10, and Tapeta at level 16.

New spell, with a name suggestive of losing strength.

Effect: Steals 30% of target's current HP or 30 HP, whichever is less, but may fail depending on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, and Aspara at level 21.

Named Sap in the English version of BoF1, so at least this one is consistent.

Effect: Temporarily reduces random encounter rate. Usable only outside of combat. Ryu learns it at level 19.

New spell, name self-evident. Alternately, there's a brand of cigarettes called Lark that also fits the phonetics. Even monsters can't stand the stench!

All the non-combat utility spells are flagged as targeting all enemies. This may just be a way to skip selecting a target at all.

Effect: Warps party to nearly any previously visited town. Usable only on the world map. Dís learns it at level 1, Tapeta at level 14, and Aspara at level 19.

Named Warp in the English version of BoF1, so this one is consistent.

Effect: Warps party to a preset exit point. Usable in most maps other than the world map. Dís learns it at level 1, Nina at level 12, and Aspara at level 18.

Named Exit in the English version of BoF1, so this one is consistent.

Effect: Switches from night to morning or daytime to night. Usable only on the world map. Ryu learns it at level 2.

New skill, with a self-explanatory name. I'm not sure why the English version changed it. Ryu does not hold mastery over time itself.

Effect: Halves current HP, but doesn't work on bosses. Usable only in combat. Learnable from an event at the Namanda Temple.

New spell. The name sounds like drumming. Feel the rhythm. Though flagged as Wind, that doesn't seem to have any effect.

Effect: Fire magic damage at 60 power. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Sten at level 15, and Nina at level 20. A certain NPC will also teach spells up to four times if recruited, and this spell is one possible result.

Named Flame in the English version of BoF1, so this one is consistent.

Effect: Ice magic damage at 30 power. Usable only in combat. Nina and Aspara learn it at level 1, and Tapeta at level 18.

Named Frost in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Ice magic damage at 100 power. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Nina at level 24, and Aspara at level 28. A certain NPC will also teach spells up to four times if recruited, and this spell is one possible result.

Named Ice in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Ice magic damage at 100 power. Usable only in combat. Lin Pu learns it at level 13 (but lacks the AP to cast it), Nina at level 31, and Dís at level 37*.

Named IceX in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Thunder magic damage at 25 power. Usable only in combat. Nina learns it at level 1, and Rand at level 9. A certain NPC will also teach spells up to four times if recruited, and this spell is one possible result.

Named Spark in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Thunder magic damage at 180 power. Usable only in combat. Lin Pu learns it at level 15 (but lacks the AP to cast it), Nina at level 36, and Dís at level 39*. Characters must have at least 175 Mood to use this spell.

Named BoltX in the English version of BoF1. The 6-character name limit could have fit a space, but perhaps it was left out for consistency with other spells.

Effect: Wind magic damage at 30 power. Usable only in combat. Nina learns it at level 1.

New spell. Other than having a vaguely breezy sound to them, I can't discern any significance to the wind spell names.

Effect: Wind magic damage at 40 power. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Sten at level 10, and Nina at level 56.

Named Bomb in the English version of BoF1, so that's consistent.

Effect: Wind magic damage at 150 power. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 38*, Sten at level 38, and Nina at level 57. A certain NPC will also teach spells up to four times if recruited, and this spell is one possible result. Characters must have at least 175 Mood to use this spell.

Named NovaX in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Earth magic damage at 70 power. Usable only in combat. Rand learns it at level 24.

Named 9.5 in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Attempts to inflict Rotting status on each player character.

Effect: Kills each Undead or Spirit enemy, but doesn't work on bosses, and may fail against individual monsters depending on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Nina learns it at level 26, and Tapeta at level 30.

While BoF1 includes some anti-Undead spells, they have an entirely different naming scheme, and none of them kill enemies outright.

Effect: Kills target, but fails against Undead and Spirit enemies, doesn't work on bosses, and may fail depending on monster Wisdom. Usable only in combat. Dís learns it at level 1, Nina at level 28, and Tapeta at level 32.

Named Rub in the English version of BoF1. I'm moderately surprised NoA allowed "Death".

Effect: Recovers 100 HP. Usable both in and out of combat. Ryu and Bosch learn it at level 16, Rand at level 17, and Aspara at level 26. Additionally, Ray will teach this to a character of your choice after the dry well event if you save fewer than five villagers.

Named Cura2 in the English version of BoF1.

All dragon transformation spells consume all of Ryu's remaining AP and inflict undefendable damage proportional to (current AP / max AP) squared. This means their effectiveness drops off sharply when Ryu does not cast from full AP. Here's a chart to summarize:

In case a specific example helps, here's a chart for casting a proper Dragon (second-tier) spell with 25 max AP:

Though all dragon transformation spells use the same unhelpful generic description, they also have proper descriptions lurking in the game text. It's anyone's guess why these go unused. A simple oversight? Length restrictions?

Also note that dragon transformations do not work properly if hacked onto any character other than Ryu.

Effect: Up to 256 undefendable Fire damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used.

Named FlmDr in the English version of BoF1. English BoF3 uses "whelp" for "puppy", and while it's less true to the Japanese, it works better in English.

Effect: Up to 256 undefendable Ice damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used.

Japanese and English BoF1 named the corresponding form スノウパピー (Snow Puppy) and SnoDr, respectively.

Effect: Up to 256 undefendable Thunder damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used.

Named ThrDr in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Up to 512 undefendable damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used. Though flagged as a Fire spell, this deals non-elemental damage.

Named FirDgn in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Up to 512 undefendable damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used. Though flagged as an Ice spell, this deals non-elemental damage.

Japanese and English BoF1 named the corresponding form スノウドラゴン (Snow Dragon) and IceDgn, respectively.

Effect: Up to 512 undefendable damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used. Though flagged as a Thunder spell, this deals non-elemental damage.

Named BltDgn in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: Up to 999 undefendable damage, depending on fraction of AP remaining when used.

Named Rudra in the English version of BoF1.

Effect: 999 undefendable damage to the enemy in the lead position, regardless of AP. Any other enemies take 0 damage, even after the lead one dies.

This special version of the spell normally appears only in the battle in which Ryu first learns the Kaiser Dragon transformation.

Effect: Physically attacks and attempts to inflict Rotting status.

Effect: Halves effective defense power (once per battle, but stacks with Defense Down status). Internal effect that triggers from Aspara's Nature command when used on lakeside terrain.

The name doesn't display, just the usual message for the command. If hacked into a spell list, it does 0 damage when used on the wrong terrain.

Effect: 88 to 95 undefendable damage. Internal effect that triggers from Aspara's Nature command when used on desert terrain.

The name doesn't display, just the usual message for the command. If hacked into a spell list, it does 0 damage when used on the wrong terrain.

Effect: ?

If hacked into a spell list and used, it displays the message ふうじられている ("Sealed"), or "Blocked" in the English version, but has no apparent effect. Can anyone confirm whether this is used in any special situations?

Effect: Physically attacks and attempts to inflict Poison status.

Effect: Attempts to inflict Poison status on each player character.

Effect: ?

If hacked into a spell list and used, it appears to hit the enemy, but has no discernible effect.

Effect: Attempts to inflict Sleep status on each player character.

Effect: Inflicts Curse status unless target is immune.

Effect: Inflicts damage; power determined by enemy attack script. Despite the name, this is non-elemental.

If hacked into a spell list and used, the attack animation displays on the party, but the spell itself inflicts 0 damage to all enemies.

Effect: Inflicts damage; power determined by enemy attack script. Despite the name, this is non-elemental.

If hacked into a spell list and used, the attack animation displays on the party, but the spell itself inflicts 0 damage to all enemies.

Effect: 50 to 81 undefendable damage. Wildcat teaches this to a character of your choice if he likes you enough.

Effect: 80 to 111 undefendable damage.

Effect: Inflicts normal attack damage (as near as I can tell) to multiple targets. Unlike the other cooking skills, attack and defense power do affect this.

While ミンチ can refer to ground (minced) beef, the action of mincing makes more sense here. However, the skill seems to be unused regardless.

Since this was never meant to be player-usable, the attack animation displays over the party if you hack it into a spell list and use it. The enemies still take the damage, though, so don't hold back.

Effect: Attempts to inflict Sleep status on each player character.

Without context, ぎり could be either 霧 (fog/mist) or 切り (chop/slice). However, when Joker uses this, he's clearly breathing out some kind of foul vapor.

Effect: Physically attacks and attempts to inflict Poison status on each player character.

Effect: ?

This is probably the effect of Aspara's mushroom transformation's command when it decides to target enemies.

Effect: ?

This is probably the effect of Aspara's mushroom transformation's command when it decides to target allies.

Effect: Recovers 40 HP.

An enemy that uses an Herb to heal is actually using this skill.

Effect: Fully restores AP.

Does anything actually use this? It makes a sound like a mischievous laugh. It's also pretty overpowered if hacked into a spell list.

Effect: All player characters have their last 1 to 3 spells disabled for the rest of the battle.

The name doesn't display, just the boss's "forget your magic" line.

Effect: ?

かり can be the noun form of the verb 狩る (karu, to hunt), but here it's more likely to be 仮 (kari, temporary, provisional, interim, or a placeholder name)

The spell animation looks like a certain dark dragon's breath attack, but it has no effect if hacked into a spell list and used.

Effect: Recovers 32 HP. Internal effect that triggers from Aspara's Nature command when used on outdoor terrains other than forest, lakeside, or desert.

The name doesn't display, just the usual message for the command. If hacked into a spell list, it does 0 damage when used on the wrong terrain.

Effect: Does something special in a specific battle (details omitted for spoilers). Ryu learns this in a late-game event.

The phonetics match the French word infini (infinite, infinity), so we'll go with that.

If hacked into a spell list and used in an ordinary battle, it sets off some pretty special effects, then ends the battle without further incident.

Effect: 100 to 131 undefendable damage, though the enemy's attack script presumably sets the power.

If hacked into a spell list and used, the attack animation displays on the party, but the spell itself inflicts 0 damage to all enemies.

Effect: None. Except in one specific battle, Ryu has this unusable version of the skill after learning it.

Effect: Absorbs 37.5% of current HP or 60 HP (whichever is less) and 25% of current AP or 20 AP (whichever is less) from all player characters.

The name doesn't display, just the boss's "become god's power" line.

If hacked into a spell list and used, it doesn't work quite right, but still isn't good for you.

Effect: 0 damage.

I think we've reached scrap data at this point. Hacking higher hex values than this one (0x53) into a spell list causes the game to lock up, so don't do that.
