The party appears on the World Map immediately outside the dungeon.
Warp2 is one of the most important Spells in the game, behind the Life Spells. It will transport you immediately out of any dungeon, without exception. Because the White and Red Wizards who can cast Warp2 are also likely to be your only party members able to cast Life, it is usually important to keep them alive at all times. Warp2 is strange in that no one can cast it when you first find it in town, as you will need to undergo the Class upgrade before learning it. Make sure you do so as soon as you can.

Transports the party to the previous floor of a dungeon

The party appears on the previously visited floor next to the staircase leading to the floor they warped from. Repeated WARP Spells will each lead to the floor previously visited. If the party has not visited any other floors in a dungeon, they appear on the World Map immediately outside the dungeon.
WARP is an interesting Spell that is unfortunately somewhat obsolete by the time you can learn it. At that point your Wh.Wiz or RedWiz can just as easily learn EXIT, which is just better. Unlike some later games in the series, there aren't many tricks you can pull with WARP's single-floor teleportation. The main use of this Spell is to escape the Temple of Fiends Past if your EXIT caster happens to die.

Warp is a fantastic Spell that will bring you back one dungeon floor per level of the Spell. While Teleport brings you all the way out of the dungeon in one casting, Warp's advantage is that it doesn't cost you any HP. Given how much HP you lose, it may actually be cheaper (MP-wise) to use Warp in some cases than Teleport and Cure. Because the Spell is terrible in combat (it's a KO Spell, but as inaccurate as the rest), don't feel obligated to give it to your black mage. Warp is primarily a utility Spell. Because the MP cost per dungeon level remains constant as you level up Warp, this is one Spell you might want to keep at level 1 just for the utility of it. Of course, a higher-level Warp does mean less casting from the menu.
