CONF is one of those fun Spells you don't want to ever rely on. It uses up a good Spell slot and isn't terribly accurate, but when it works it will stall your enemies. Confused Monsters will attack one another at random, and unlike later games in the series, being hit doesn't end the Confusion. Unfortunately, these attacks are pathetically weak (equivalent to a FIRE Spell), and the strength of this Spell is that the Monsters aren't attacking you, not that they are doing much damage to one another.

Muddle is one of those fun Spells you don't want to ever rely on. It uses up a good Spell slot and isn't terribly accurate, but when it works it can devastate your enemies. Confused enemies will attack one another at random, and unlike later games in the series, being hit doesn't end the Confusion. Because it can easily miss entirely, this Spell is much more fun to cast with the Spellbinder you'll find late in the game than with actual Spell slots.

Muddle is a fun Spell, though if you're looking to inflict Muddled you can easily do so with the NoiseBlaster.
Due to a bug, Celes will not actually learn Muddle at Level 32 if she gains that Level due to the World of Ruin Level adjustment. This is unlikely to matter since the Spell is easily taught by Stray.
