The effect of RUSE stacks with the effects of INVS and INV2, as well as itself.

RUSE is a fantastic self buff with the minor problem that the people who can cast it early in the game (i.e., Wh.MAGE) don't gain all that much from it. Yes, it will help them avoid potentially deadly attacks, and you do want your Wh.MAGE alive, but if they're in the last two party slots they only will only be attacked 1/8 of the time. This Spell is more interesting for the KNIGHT, and to a lesser extent a RedWiz willing to forego a level 1 Spell for the first half of the game.
