FF1: good spell priority?

[Black Mage FF1]

What do you think of my list of spells you *should* buy in FF1?
Give your opinions!
The ones in hyphons are not really important, they're mainly there to fill out space:

Cure - Harm - (Fog)
Mute - Invs - Alit
Cur2 - Hrm2 - Afir
Pure - (Amut) - Aice
Cur3 - Hrm3 - Life
Soft - Inv2 - Exit
Cur4 - Hrm4 - (Hel3)
Fade - Wall - Lif2

Fire - (Slep) - Lit
Ice - (Slow) - (Tmpr)
Fir2 - (Lok2) - Lit2
Ice2 - Fast - (Conf)
Fir3 - Bane - Warp
Lit3 - Rub - Qake
Ice3 - (Brak) - (Sabr)
Nuke - (Xxxx) - (Zap!)

What do you mean, 'not important'?!? Tmpr is one of the best spells in the game, believe it or not. It's really useful in a party of Red Mages with all 4 having it.

Actually, In the original FF1 NES version. Temper does not work at all. So it is not needed. On the PSX and GBA versions, Steel/Temper is godly.

Anyway, these are the worst spells to buy in FF1 and here is why....

Tempr - Doesnt work
Sabr - Doesnt work
Lock - doesnt work
Lock2 - it actually RAISES the enemies acc. by 20%!
ARUB - By time you by this you should have pro ring
XFER - Waste of time, no need for it
Slow2 - It has the same effect as slow but this spell only hits 1 enemy.
Any instant death spells - I never use them.
Slep - A crap spell, puts enemies to sleep for one turn! WOW!
Slep2 - Same as slep1 but only hits one enemy.
AMUT - I dont even think a single enemy casts mute on you.

Out of all of those the worst spells are Lock2,Tempr,Sabr and Lock.


As for best spells.

Fast, Cure1-4, Fire2-3, Ice2-3,Lit2-3, Life, and mute. Every other spell isnt really needed. As long as you get these you should be fine.

I didnt put Nuke or any other level 8 spells because by time you get them so late in the game that they are basically useless.
