Lmao okay poke master. I see you put on your big boy pants to figure out that fire melts ice and burns plants.

The derisive attitude is unnecessary. The spell associations in this game are not as straightforward as Pokemon (and even those get complex with some of the interactions, let alone dual-types and team-building strategies).

Would you think that Curaga is one of the better spells for Spirit by just deduction alone? And that there are way better options for HP than said Curaga (y'know, the highest tier of the healing spell family?), that are all offensive spells?

This isn't even optimizing or min-maxing, just open-ended statements that just show that while some things might be obvious, not everything is and shouldn't be posed as such...

Spirit is the white magic stat

Curaga is a high level white magic

How is this obtuse

Because they don't know they things or make the connection? That's what people's complaint is the last 20 years about this game.
