=Hawk's Classes=

'''Tech:''' Flying Swallow Toss - ''Multi Target''

** Arrow - ''Single Target''

** Spike - ''Single Target''

** Body Change - ''Single Target''

** Sleep Flower - ''Single Target''

The Ranger has a multi target tech, but unfortunately, neither of the classes he can change into afterwards have multi target techs. Body Change is a powerful spell that makes enemies tiny and extremely weak. Unfortunately it also makes them yield 0 experience points. It is still a good spell to use in emergencies. Sleep Flower can help make large groups of enemies more manageable.

** Shuriken - ''Single Target''

** Fire Jutsu - ''Single Target''

** Water Jutsu - ''Single Target''

** Earth Jutsu - ''Single Target''

** Thunder Jutsu - ''Single Target''

** Body Change - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Sleep Flower - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Energy Boost - ''Single Target''

** Aura Wave - ''Single Target''

** Poison Bubble - ''Single Target''

** Half Vanish - ''Single Target''

** Counter Magic - ''Single Target''

The Wanderer learns almost all the Dryad and Luna spells in the game, which gives him quite a bunch of interesting things he can do. For example, he can boost his allies' max HP (Life Booster) or lower the max HP of his opponents (Lunatic) which is great when used at the very start of a boss fight. He also can use Counter Magic to give his allies a barrier that completely protects them from almost all damaging spells, which is quite effective against some bosses (especially Koren). Poison Bubble deals damage to the enemy and gives some MP back to Hawk which allows Hawk to cast his spells forever if he is careful. His weaknesses are that some of his spells are fairly useless or very situational (especially Energy Boost), and he has the lowest attack power out of all of Hawk's final classes.

'''Tech:''' Shadow Slash - ''Single Target''

* '''Starts with'''

** Spike - ''Single Target''

** Silver Dart - ''Single Target''

** Cutter Missile - ''Single Target''

** Rocket Launcher - ''Single Target''

** Grenade Bomb - ''Single Target''

The Rogue's spells mostly look like throwing weapons. One nice thing about them is that unlike most spells, they have a very short animation (so they stop the action for a much shorter time). For the most part they just deal damage (the only exception is Pumpkin Bomb which absorbs MP along with dealing damage) so the main difference between each attack is what element they are and their relative power. Silver Dart is one of the weaker spells, but since it is Holy elemental, it can be quite effective on many monsters near the end of the game. If you are careful, you can use Pumpkin Bomb to allow Hawk to continue casting his spells indefinitely. One downside to the Rogue is that none of his spells damage multiple opponents.

'''Requires Item:''' Bullseye Die

** Shuriken - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Fire Jutsu - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Water Jutsu - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Earth Jutsu - ''Single/Multi Target''

** Thunder Jutsu - ''Single/Multi Target''

The Ninja Master learns how to Multi target all of the Ninja's spells. These can be useful when fighting groups of powerful enemies. For example, if you fight a group of Dark Lords you can cast Water Jutsu on all of them to weaken the power of their Eruption Sword attack. Like the Nightblade, he has very high attack power.

** Blow Needle - ''Single Target''

** Fire Breath - ''Single Target''

** Poison Breath - ''Single Target''

** Deadly Weapon - ''Single Target''

** Black Rain - ''Multi Target''

The Nightblade is a very strong class with a powerful multi target tech. Since Hawk swings twice when he attacks, he can charge this tech up very quickly which makes it even more useful. He learns many spells and while some of them don't have much of a use (like Fire Breath), some of them are extremely useful. For example, Blow Needle silences your enemies which can protect you from some enemies' powerful multi target techs (which can often result in Game Over, even if you are close to full life). Deadly Weapon is a great spell when used properly. It lowers the target's maximum HP by 20%, so it essentially does over 999 damage when used at the start of a boss fight.
