All White Magic except Library and Teleport is reflectable.

The EasyType lowers the cast delay to 1.

Not learnable in the English or EasyType versions. Certain enemies still cast it, though, so the name remains, just without the White Magic icon.

Works by adding 8 to an internal value known as turn delay. Turn delay starts at 16 and has a maximum of 32, so cast Slow twice for best results.

Works by subtracting 3 from an internal value known as turn delay. Turn delay starts at 16 and has a minimum of 12. As with Slow, Haste needs to be cast twice to get the maximum effect, but since the second time only takes you from 13 to the minimum of 12, it isn't as worthwhile.

The EasyType lowers the cast delay to 2.

Buggy on characters with Stop status. It apparently cancels the status timer, but doesn't actually remove the status, causing it to last indefinitely.

Not learnable in the English or EasyType versions. It's still used in the EasyType, which keeps the name ディスペル, minus the White Magic icon.

"Cure" is only a rough approximation of ケアル, and would normally be キュア in katakana. "Care" is also plausible, though that would normally be just ケア. The "Keal" I've seen some places just makes me cringe, though... it looks too much like it should be pronounced "keel", and that's flat-out wrong.

The EasyType changes the name to ケアル１ (Cure 1) and removes the cast delay.

The EasyType changes the name to ケアル２ (Cure 2).

The EasyType changes the name to ケアル３ (Cure 3). The English DS version renames it to Curaga and uses Curaja for the actual Curega.

The EasyType changes the name to ケアル４ (Cure 4). The English DS version renames it to Curaja and moves the Curaga name to Cureda.

The full heal effect only works properly when the amount to heal is 16,384 HP or less. Anything beyond that overflows and heals MP instead.

The prevailing theory on Japanese sites is that Esuna is short for 永久ステータスを治す (eikyuu SUTEETASU wo naosu, "cures permanent status"). This goes back to FF2, where it could cure only persisting status effects and existed alongside Basuna, which only cured status effects that wore off after combat; the 'ba' likely came from バトル中 (BATORUchuu, "during battle"). Though Esuna has since become a more general-purpose status-curing spell, the name stuck.

The EasyType changes the name to レイズ１ (Raise 1).

The EasyType changes the name to レイズ２ (Raise 2).

Don't cast it when standing on a damage tile unless under Levitate status, or you'll take substantial damage. The spinning seems to count as taking steps.

What's the 'ro' for? Who knows? Regardless, try casting in battle with Reflect on the caster to see an odd animation that's likely junk data.

All Black Magic except Quake and Meteor is reflectable.

The EasyType reduces the cast delay to 1 and raises the base hit rate to 40%.

According to numerous Japanese sites, デジョン is believed to be short for ディメンション = "dimension".

Of limited use, outside of an interesting oversight in one place that makes it possible to get the Dark Crystal early (this glitch is fixed—or, more accurately, circumvented by disabling the spell there altogether—in the EasyType).

Also try casting it in combat when the caster has Reflect status... while it still does nothing, you can see the animation associated with it, which looks a lot like various fatal monster attacks, suggesting that it was planned to have the instant-death effect it often does in other Final Fantasy games. This idea is further supported by the fact that the Summoner (Conjuror) monster will cast Dejon on a random monster when Confused (though it has no effect).

Since this is not a hit/miss spell, it's virtually guaranteed to work unless the target is a boss or immune.

The EasyType changes the name to サンダー３ (Thunder 3) and reduces the cast delay to 3.

The speed, relatively high power, relatively low cost, non-elemental damage, ability to multitarget, and lingering aftereffect make Bio one of the game's best spells.

The DS remake, however, significantly nerfs Bio, making it weaker than Fira/Blizzara/Thundara.

As noted on numerous Japanese sites, アスピル (ASUPIRU) appears to be short for "aspirate", to remove something by suction.

The EasyType raises the base power to 20 and reduces the cast delay to 1.

メテオ (METEO) is an accepted rendition of the English word "meteor", so there's little or no justification for dropping the 'r' other than space limitations.

The EasyType reduces the cast delay to 5.

Unlike in many Final Fantasy games, Flare has no special defense-piercing properties in this one. However, its high power has a similar effect in practice, since magic defense is capped at 255, so each hit does a minimum of 145 damage even against magic-resistant enemies. Add damage varation to that, and a caster with 50 int will average over 3,000 damage against one of those, whereas -ga spells are lucky to reach four digits in the same situation. It's also very quick to cast.

No Summon Magic is reflectable.

影 (kage, shadow) plus 縛り (shibari, binding), this refers to the legendary ninja ability to seal an opponent's movement by binding his shadow to the ground. Functionally, it's a less accurate Hold spell that's quicker to cast.

分身 (bunshin) is the standard term for ninja "cloning" skills. Functionally, it's a more accurate and less expensive Blink spell that only works on the user.

Other than Dancing Dagger, these weapon-exclusive spells are reflectable.

This results in an average of 35 damage against an enemy with no magic defense, with a minimum of 28 and a maximum of 42.

This results in an average of 30 healing, with a minimum of 24 and a maximum of 36.

As noted under Esuna, Basuna was a spell in FF2 that cured temporary status ailments (the kind that wears off after battle). It's believed to be short for バトル中ステータスを治す (BATORUchuu SUTEETASU wo naosu, "cures in-battle status").

This results in an average of 400 damage against an enemy with no magic defense, with a minimum of 320 and a maximum of 480.

As noted above, no Summon Magic effects are reflectable.

This is effectively Mist Breath to a single target for half the MP and without a casting delay.

Since this is not a hit/miss spell, it's virtually guaranteed to work unless the target is a boss or immune.

Basically a more accurate, single-target version of Break, for the same MP cost. The 1 damage is pointless, but works even when the target is immune to Stone.

Inferior to Quake, being weaker, more costly, and slower to cast, but Rydia also learns Titan sooner unless you've been excessively leveling.

This spell has a number of oddities. One is that is that it works normally on Undead monsters even though it's an absorption spell. Another is that it's bugged and costs nothing in the English and EasyType versions (though you still need to have 25 MP to select it).

The Cutting Room Floor claims it's even stranger than that. Supposedly the spell only costs MP if the caster is adult Rydia (always true under normal circumstances) and is in the first slot of the character formation (which she typically isn't). Huh?

Normally, allies who are Incapacitated, Stone, or otherwise unable to be targeted are excluded from the healing and the character count for dividing the healing. However, I've occasionally seen this split healing to characters who aren't even in the party! For instance, I once had a save file in the Sealed Cave after Cain leaves that acted as though he was still there for purposes of this spell. It's likely caused by lingering character data left in the "empty" slot.

斬鉄剣 (zantetsuken) translates to "Iron-Cleaving Sword"

Unfortunately, this spell is severely underpowered. Not only is the base hit rate awful, but it's an all-or-nothing attack, meaning that unless a hit is determined for each individual enemy, the spell does nothing at all. This makes it even harder to hit large groups of enemies, since it has more chances to fail.

A bit more powerful than Cureda as cast on a single target. However, Asura runs on Rydia's intelligence rather than her spirit (like actual white magic would), and since it innately multitargets, the entire party gets the full healing amount instead of having it split between them.

The Original and EasyType effect equals casting Protect on all allies, making it rather wasteful. The English version effect instead heals 50% more than the other healing effect, which is already substantial, making this easily the most powerful healing effect available.

Essentially Raise on all allies, but more accurate. In general, I find Asura to be overly unreliable, especially outside of the English version.

These two appear to be nothing more than blank slots for reference or potential expansion that were never used. For what it's worth, they're configured as being reflectable, failing against bosses, and targetting a single ally, with no elements, no status effects, 0 MP cost, 0 power, 0% base hit rate, and no cast delay.

The enemy-only spells that follow ignore Silence (for usability) and Darkness (for accuracy). However, Toad and Pig status still disable them.

...various spares, or possibly special functionality used in AI scripts...

The EasyType leaves the fourth one's name blank, and does the same for all the others after it. Who knows what went wrong in the English version.
