Darkness is an annoying Status Ailment, and LAMP is the only way to cure it short of CUR4. However, it may not be worth the level 2 Spell slot, especially considering the other level 2 white magic Spells that are available. You won't encounter Darkness until the Marsh Cave, and it will wear off at the end of combat, so don't feel obligated to learn LAMP.

You will be Poisoned quite a lot in the first half of the game, but this Spell is still of questionable use. It's nice for Wh.MAGES, since their level 4 Spell selection is pretty thin, but you could buy 53 PURE Potions for the price of this Spell, and anyone can use those. You may as well pick it up when you're rich, but don't make it a priority.

Of the Spells that actually work, AMUT is the least useful. It doesn't create a resistance to Silence like you might expect, but rather cures it. However, you can't cast it if you are Silenced yourself, which makes its use questionable enough (especially since MUTE hits all targets). Add to that that only four Monsters in the entire game cast MUTE, and this Spell becomes even more iffy. With a price tag of 4,000 G, it's just insulting.
