Ok, this is pretty obvious. QAKE or PURE are at the top of my lists. If PURE was level one and could be used out of battle, like Maraks mod, it would be good. QAKE would be good if it worked once in a while.

LOK2 was dumb as well, come to think of it. I'm too lazy to get a list of spells, so don't blame me if I missed one.

Also, to lengthen the thread some, we'll include enemy spells. Yes, I know INK. That's blatantly obvious. INK sucks, so no one has to elaborate.

LAMP and AMUT, because I have never been darknessed or muteded.

[Black Mage FF1]

There are many useless spells on the NES version


Tempr - Doesnt work
Sabr - Doesnt work
Lock - doesnt work
Lock2 - it actually RAISES the enemies acc. by 20%!
ARUB - By time you by this you should have pro ring
XFER - Waste of time, no need for it
Slow2 - It has the same effect as slow but this spell only hits 1 enemy.
Any instant death spells - I never use them.
Slep - A crap spell, puts enemies to sleep for one turn! WOW!
Slep2 - Same as slep1 but only hits one enemy.

Out of all of those the worst spells are Lock2,Tempr,Sabr and Lock.

Black Mage FF1 summed it up pretty well.
Except that I have successfully utilized ARUB in the past and worn other stuff instead of the ProRing. So I wouldn't call it quite so useless as merely not as good as others. In the PURE catagory.

Also, what in lv. 4 white magic is better than pure? AICE? Nah. What enemy actually uses ice? Frost Dragon? Have you ever used AICE? Ever? No. But I've used Pure. It's dang good when you need it.
Cause I don't want to waste my time buying potions, ya know.

AMUT and Lamp are also pretty worthless, but they're lv. 2 magic. Give it a break. You've been muted and darked too, you just don't remember because it doesn't matter.

Wait, so SABR and TMPR don't do anything? Are you sure about that? How do you know?

I know for a fact. Just go and try them. You will see no difference in your attacks. However on the PSX version they DO work. On the NES version you can cast tempr 9 times and then sabr 100 if you want and you will see NO difference at all.

AICE is the only A-spell I ever use. If you level at the peninsula, you'll need AICE in order to not get wiped out by a pack of Frost Wolves.

by the time you get lvl 4 spells, you really don't need to hang around that area much anymore.

although CONF is fun, but not really useful. I love making centipedes attack each other it'ss amusing for like 5 minutes.
