: '''Sleepara''' is similar to ''Hold''. '''Confuse''' turns an enemy into an ally. '''Haste''' is a must have: it doubles the number of hits per attack a character gets. If "hit & heal" is your game, ''Haste'' and ''Temper'' will soon be the two black magic spells you use the most. ''Blizzara'' can be good to have for minor enemies, since the Ninja is usually faster than the Black and Red Wizards. The aforementioned [[Final Fantasy/Armor#Gauntlets|Gauntlets]] would do the job, anyway.

=== Black & Red Mages/Wizards ===
If you have both a Black and a Red Mage in your party, you have the opportunity of using every Black Spell in a single game, except one (of your choice).
Thumb rule: for every level, give three Black Spells to the Black Mage, and the last one to the Red Mage. Debuff spells should all be given to the Black Mage, because they can miss often if given to the Red Mage. Vice versa, support spells should be given to the Red Mage, because they always succeed anyway. The Red Wizard can only learn one spell from level 6 and one from level 7. You will have to choose and discard one spell from level 8.
For detailed comments, check the sections above.
The following table shows an example of assignment of the spells. The Red Mage/Wizard will also have to learn some White Spells, especially if you don't have a White Mage/Wizard.
