Carlie can learn healing spells right from the start which makes you much less dependent on items. Her different classes have a variety of different spells including Saber spells, Black Curse, and several different damaging spells.

Tech: Bonkle
Spells
Her physical attacks are weak, and she doesn't have any damaging spells, but since she is the only character that can heal before getting a class change, she is still quite useful.
Tech: Jump - Single Target
Spells
The Priestess learns Holy Ball which can do fairly good damage against Dark aligned opponents. Although casting Saber spells on herself does not help much, they are very powerful spells when used on her more physically strong allies.
Tech: Dash - Single Target
Spells
The Enchantress gets some simple "summon" spells that call monsters to damage an opponent. While not nearly as useful as the Priestess' Saber spells on Fire, Ice, Earth, or Air aligned monsters, they are still fairly good.
Requires Item: Holy Water Vial
Tech: ChopChop - Single Target
Spells
Saint Saber is very useful at the end of the game because many monsters are dark aligned. Turn Undead is a very powerful spell as well - it only costs 1 MP but it deals 999 damage to all undead monsters on the screen (and it does work on a few bosses). It is especially useful in the Mirage Palace (the dungeon you go to if Kevin or Carlie is the leader). Unfortunately, it does not work on Undead monsters who are a higher level than Carlie.
Requires Item: Bottle of Salt
Tech: BoomBoom - Single Target
Spells
The Sage learns how to multi target all of the spells she learned as a Priestess. This isn't that useful really because Holy Ball is fairly weak at the end of the game and not really worth using and being able to multi target the Saber spells doesn't really save a lot of time. She also learns Saint Beam which is a decent spell but nothing spectacular (after all, Angela can learn it as a Sorceress - a second level class).
Requires Item: Bottle of Ashes
Tech: Craaaazy - Single Target
Spells
Among other things, the Necromancer learns Black Curse, a very useful spell that lowers all of the target's attributes. This can be a very effective spell against bosses since it both raises the damage you deal to them and lowers the damage they deal to you. She also learns some summon spells that call the undead to attack your enemies.
Requires Item: Bottle of Blood
Tech: HugeHuge - Single Target
Spells
The Dark Shaman is Carlie's most powerful offensive class (unless you are fighting the Undead, then the Bishop is). Demon Breath is a powerful spell that damages all enemies and lowers their magic defense, and Great Demon is Carlie's most powerful summon spell. AntiMagic is a good spell in theory; it removes spells such as Saber spells and stat boost spells from an enemy. Unfortunately, it doesn't see much use because very few bosses use such spells on themselves.
