ZAP! is an interesting Spell. It's an all-target KO Spell that isn't resisted by any Monster short of CHAOS himself, but it isn't particularly accurate. Strangely it is nearly as accurate as STOP, and both are Time-elemental, making one wonder why you would ever want to Paralyze all your enemies when you can KO them almost as reliably. Unlike the rest of the non-NUKE level 8 attack Spells, ZAP! can occasionally be useful in thinning large groups. Practically speaking, though, you're going to be saving most of those slots for NUKE.
