If the system and the random encounters weren't annoying... - Page 2

Random encounters and inability to use Cure 1 at level 16 are something I can put up with. What bugs me the most is the amount of time you have to spend levelling up your magic particularly the ones you can't use in the menu

If you use magic in battle regularly, it will be as high as you need it. One mistake people make is assuming magic has to be at really high levels to be effective. No spell needs to be at level 16. That's just overkill. (Exept cure, maybe)

Peter_20: Ultima is pretty much useless, it will do very low damage unless it's the DoS version and you've leveled up really much. Even then, I think Holy and Flare will do a lot more damage even on lower levels.

Ultima is only really powerful if you start preparing from the beginning of the game, and if you do that, it becomes superfluous.

Yeah, at LV1 they all suck with a huge passion, but FIRE, ICE and AERO *are* very useful against those damn Gigas dudes.

Yes, the elemental spells are great against Gigases and the Flan monsters. If you haven't leveled up your spells against the Gigases, it will be harder since you'll either need to use spell books themselves to cause damage or hope that your weapons will do critical hits and hurt the Gigases (I actually did the latter on the NES version).

speaking of which, how does equipping a spell book actually aid you in a fight?

Spell Scrolls work as spells when used as items; a Fire Scroll will launch FIRE 8 on all enemies.

and can this be done infintely many times?

No, I think using a spell book to cast a spell breaks the book, so it can't be used again. So if you want to use spell books to cast a spell more than once, you'll need to buy several spell books.
