WALL is one of those Spells that sounds far better in description than it is in practice. Sure, it grants resistance to all eight Elements, but so do Ribbons, and you get three of those. Assuming you use them, this Spell can only help one party member, who may very well be a KNIGHT that already resists the main attack Elements and Poison anyway. On the upside, at least the fact that this is a single-target Spell doesn't make it any less useful in this case.

Shell is similar to Blink, but for magic defense rather than evasion: it increases the target's magic defense level, allowing them more chances to block magic. Each level of the Spell allows for another potential level increase. Also like Blink, Shell does not increase the target's actual magic resistance rate. This Spell can go a long way towards helping avoid nasty status Spells, and reducing damage Spells somewhat.

Shell grants a temporary 1/3 reduction in damage taken from magic attacks. Rflect is often a superior choice for magic protection, but the Shell Status is useful against even non-Reflectable Abilities.
