CURE is the staple healing Spell, restoring as much HP as a HEAL Potion without costing 60 G. It becomes less useful later in the game, but there's often not much else to do with level 1 Spell slots. Note that CURE is very slightly less effective outside of combat, curing 16–31 HP.

Cure1 is the staple healing Spell, restoring as much hp as a Potion without costing 60 gil. Early in the game this is your primary source of healing, but as time wears on, the Spell becomes a lot less useful. With a maximum of 9 level 1 Spell slots, you're talking about a little over 200 hp worth of healing, which is unimpressive (especially when you can carry 11 times as many Potions). Still, it is free healing, so if you don't like to use your other level 1 Spell slots, Cure1 still has its uses late into the game.

Cure is the most basic white magic Spell, and you shouldn't leave home without it! You'll want to use this Spell a lot so it levels up. It's also a great Spell when staying at an inn, since you can Cure so much HP for your MP and reduce the inn cost significantly.
Because magic penalties don't apply outside of combat, you may want to teach Cure to all of your fighters as an extra support Spell. However, Cure gets no bonus from spirit when used outside of combat (curing 40–80 HP per Spell level).
Cure also functions as a damage Spell against Undead, dealing the same damage to them that it would cure if cast on a living creature.

Cure is your staple healing Spell during the beginning of the game, learned automatically by both Terra and Celes. You won't learn Cure 2 until you first gain access to Espers, and even then it takes a while to learn until you find more in the MagiTek Research Facility. Fortunately, Cure is strong enough to get you by until that point.
