Magic
Spells are learned by mages, sages, and paladins as they increase their levels. Summons are learned only by summoners (Rydia). They call upon an entity to aid the party in some way. Some summons require certain items to be obtained before Rydia can learn them.
Spells and summons require MP (Magic Points) to cast. They can all be cast in battle as long as MP remains. Some spells can be cast outside of battle to remove status ailments or heal wounds. MP can be replenished by resting or consuming ethers.
Each spell requires a certain amount of time to cast. Some spells can only be cast on one character or monster, but some can be cast on the whole enemy or ally party. To select multiple targets, first select on character or enemy, then press the right or left directional button until cursor hands point to every character or enemy in the party. When spells are cast on multiple targets, the effects are diffused among those targets, meaning the total power is divided amount the number of targets.

Unique Effect - if you use a cure spell outside of battle to heal a single target, that target will gain exactly ([WILL/8]+2) x ([WILL/2]+Z) HP, where Z is the base power that the spell would have in combat. if you choose to divide the spell, the total healing amount is the same, but it is divided equally among all allies. the only exception is CURE4, which will have the same effect outside of combat as it does in combat, if it is cast on a single target.
