As a storytelling device to convey that he's getting less useful in his old age it's all right I guess, but it sucks when you're climbing the Tower of Zot and he's the only decent magic user in the party because Cecil still sucks at white magic. So similar reasons to FuSoYa, only even more so because while you don't really need FuSoYa anyway, you DO need Tellah, and when you need him most he's virtually useless >
I would say that Tellah is probably a character for advanced players. At least one monster in most dungeons that he is in the party can be affected by Osmose, effectively giving him a much larger MP pool. You can make the most of him by using status effects instead as they usually cost much less MP than Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, and his other damaging spells.
