NUKE is the ultimate damaging Spell, but don't expect it to deal full damage very often. Still, nothing resists it, so you're guaranteed 100–200 damage to each target, with a chance to double that. It's easily the best level 8 black magic Spell, so don't miss it if you have a Bl.Wiz.

Flare is the ultimate damaging Spell, which is a bit sad, because it's not actually that great. It has maximum Accuracy, which still makes it unreliable against Monsters with very high Magic Defense (which is most of those you'd like to use it on). Even on an unresisted hit, Flare only averages 300 damage, which your fighters most likely surpass on a normal attack. It's a nice Spell for softening up large groups of relatively weak enemies, but unlike in later games, it's pretty useless against bosses. It's still the best Spell of its level, though, so don't miss it if you have a Black Wizard.

Flare is a powerful attack Spell, with double the base power of the normal elemental Spells. It strength is the same as its weakness—it is non-elemental. Nothing resists or absorbs Flare, but nothing is weak to it either. Because intelligence plays such a heavy influence on the effects of attack Spells, especially late in the game when Flare is available, Flare is just not that much better than elemental Spells (and isn't even close against Monsters weak to their Element). Then again, if you level it up it is the best attack Spell against a Monster with no weaknesses, so it's still worth using.

Flare deals non-Elemental damage that ignores Mag.Def. Aside from Reflect, the only defense against Flare is a high MBlock%. It deals reliable, predictable damage to anything, and is most useful against single targets with no exploitable weaknesses.
