Revision as of 06:28, 25 April 2015

To maximize the use of spells into its maximum MP count and power, reaching class mastery is an essential way to help bring out your team's potential. To reach the class's highest potential, you have to get to a certain level to get there. The maximum number of spells you can cast per level is nine.

Learning spells per level is of no specific order.

Remember that you can edit spell names in the options to something more obvious or useful!

Additional or differing info from the JP wiki has been added in italics. Mistranslations and game version changes are possible, so edit or comment to confirm the correct details.

Tarot

Only usable by bards, drawing tarot cards in the upright position is considered a success, and failure if it's inverted. Bards start with a 75% success rate, and each card draw reduces this by 5%. Resting at an inn restores it to 75%.

While tarot cards may seem tricky to use at first, with proper precautions, skills, or items, they can be very powerful. According to the manual, cards that inflict status effects ignore resistances. Some of them also have no negative effects with failed draws, and others have negative effects that can be negated in some way. Examples:

  • Draw Empress to disable hard-hitting melee groups
  • Draw The Sun at the beginning of a fight, or when there's one enemy left. A failed draw will have little risk.
  • Judgment reduces everyone's HP to 1, but it could be an easy way to wipe enemy parties if you have a way to protect yourself.

Trivias and Credits

  • Information is taken from game file spmp.csv.
  • The Bishop's slow level and spell growth makes it a poor choice for class change spell transfers. In the time it takes a Bishop to reach level 30, a character could attain level 15 Mage, level 15 Cleric, and level 24 Alchemist.
  • Summoners immediately gain 3 MP at level 25, but other classes gain their first cast (1 MP) two levels prior to the listed levels above, e.g. level 13 for Clerics. This is increased to 3 MP upon a class change, but additional levels might be required to learn all the spells of that level. How many spells a character learns seems to be at least partly based on luck, and possibly stats and quality of the inn room. Be sure to save before resting.
  • If a character is exceptionally unlucky, they may not even gain any MP, although it's retroactively awarded the next level. This was with an 8 INT Bard, so stats may play a role.
