Esuna's obscure brother, Basuna is a cool concept for a Spell that, sadly, is kind of lame in practice. Since it is limited to curing Status Ailments that wear off after (or during) combat, it's rarely a "must-have" Spell. Not only that, but Venom and Sleep, the ailments Basuna cures at level 1, are not common enough to level this Spell much naturally. It's worth forcing its level to be able to cure Confuse in the late game.

The first true Esuna Spell in the Final Fantasy series has to be leveled to be useful. To start with, you can only cure Darkness and Poison (though the latter only outside of combat) with Esuna. Because there are Items that cure each permanent Status Ailment, it's not strictly necessary to level this Spell, but it certainly saves money and inventory space.

Used outside of combat, Esuna has the effect of its Spell level when used on the whole party, or its level + 1 on a single Character.
