Sages will learn both the Pilgrim's and Wizard's spells. The Hero has a handful of exclusive spells, but most are ones that either the Pilgrim or Wizard will learn (though the Hero often learns at a much higher level).

The level listed is the one that the character should learn it at, however there is a slight chance that they will learn it one higher than normal. If you have to have the spell at the earliest possible time, save your game right before you level up, then reset if you don't get it.

  • Healing spells: spells that can be cast during and outside battle;
  • Non-combat spells: spells that can only be cast outside battle;
  • Support spells: battle spells that target the allies;
  • Debuff spells: battle spells that target the enemies but deal no damage;
  • Attack spells: battle spells that damage the enemies.

All the pictures are by Akira Toriyama, famous author of the "Dragon Ball" series.
