Cure is the most basic white magic spell, and you shouldn't leave home without it! You'll want to use this spell a lot so it levels up. It's also a great spell when staying at an inn, since you can Cure so much HP for your MP and reduce the inn cost significantly.

Because magic penalties don't apply outside of combat, you may want to teach Cure to all of your fighters as an extra support spell. However, Cure gets no bonus from spirit when used outside of combat (curing 40–80 HP per spell level).

Cure also functions as a damage spell against Undead, dealing the same damage to them that it would cure if cast on a living creature.
