The effect of FOG stacks with the effects of FOG2 as well as itself.
FOG is in the running with RUSE as the most useful level 1 Spell as the game goes on. 8 points of Absorb may not sound like a lot, but the prevented damage adds up quickly, especially if the attacker gets multiple hits. Really the only thing that makes this Spell at all obsolete is FOG2, which affects the whole party and adds even more Absorb. Getting this up on your front-line Warriors should be your first priority against any boss that does multiple hits for significant damage. It can also be helpful for making your mages a bit less squishy in protracted battles.

Protect 8 (All allies)
Value

Protect raises the target's defense by 1/4 of the caster's spirit per success. However, due to a bug, this effect only works when used on the caster themself. Therefore, if this Spell is used, it is used best when targeted on the caster alone. Due to its heavy reliance on spirit and accuracy, you probably won't get much mileage out of Protect for a front-line fighter, and it's not useful from the back row, so it's a Spell you can probably ignore safely.

Protect adds directly to the target's Defense and Magic Defense scores. However, be aware that if the target of Protect is using the Defend action, the Defense bonus will be negated at the end of the round. In addition, changing the items in a character's hands (even Weapons) will negate the effects of Protect.
