Thunder is the only basic elemental Spell that you will likely not find in your travels, but you won't run into many Monsters weak to Lightning for quite a while, so you can hold off on purchasing it. As an added bonus, Leila starts with Thunder 2, and joins just when you get your ship and begin fighting Ocean battles.
