Magic

Priests learn spells from the Heal, Misc, and Status families.

  • Heal: Learns 'Heal' (MP 3, Level 1) which restores 30 HP to a single target.
  • Misc: Learns 'Poof' (MP 2, Level 2) which can blow away weak enemies.
  • Status: Learns 'Dazzle' (MP 4, Level 3) which affects a group.
Tips
  • Priests excel at healing and support, making them invaluable for keeping your party alive, especially against tough bosses.
  • While their combat skills are not their strong suit, their ability to revive fallen allies is crucial.
  • Their equipment options are decent but do not match the defensive capabilities of a Warrior or the versatility of a Sage.
