Maya's Spell Progression:

• Lv1: Frizz — This is your bread and butter early on. It's a basic fire spell that hits one enemy for around 10 HP. Costs only 2 MP, so you can spam it early game.
• Lv3: Sap — A crucial debuff spell. It lowers the defense of a single enemy, making them take more physical damage. Essential for tougher fights. Costs 3 MP.
• Lv7: Sizz — Your first group fire spell! It hits all enemies for about 20 HP. Great for clearing out weaker groups. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv8: Zoom — This is a lifesaver! It lets you instantly teleport back to any town or location you've previously visited. Super handy for saving time and avoiding long treks. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv9: Evac — Similar to Zoom, but specifically teleports you to the entrance of the dungeon you're currently in. Perfect for a quick escape if things get hairy. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv11: Bang — A more powerful group fire spell. It deals about 20 HP fire damage to *all* enemies on screen. Costs 5 MP.
• Lv14: Sizzle — An upgrade to Sizz, this fire spell hits a group of enemies for 30-40 HP. Costs 6 MP.
• Lv16: Drain Magic — This spell lets Maya steal MP from an enemy. It's a bit random in how much it takes, but can be useful if you're running low on MP yourself. No MP cost for Maya!
• Lv19: Frizzle — A stronger single-target fire spell, dealing around 80 HP damage to one enemy. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv21: Safe Passage — This is a fantastic utility spell. Cast it before walking on traps or electrified floors, and you won't take any damage. Costs 2 MP and is incredibly useful for navigating dangerous areas.

Hero Spells (Learned by the Hero, but useful to know!):

• Lv13: Midheal — Heals one party member for about 70-80 HP. A solid single-target heal. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv16: Kasnooze — Puts one enemy to sleep. Great for crowd control if you can land it. Costs 3 MP.
• Lv20: Zing — Has a 50% chance to revive a fallen party member with half their HP. A crucial resurrection spell. Costs 8 MP.
• Lv23: Swoosh — Deals about 40 HP wind damage to a group of enemies. Costs 4 MP.
• Lv26: Fullheal — Fully restores the HP of one party member. The best single-target heal in the game. Costs 6 MP.
• Lv29: Insulate — Grants the whole party resistance to fire and ice attacks for a time. Costs 6 MP.
• Lv32: Kaswoosh — A powerful wind spell that hits a group of enemies for around 100 HP. Costs 6 MP.
• Lv35: Kerplunk — This is a high-risk, high-reward spell. It revives a fallen ally with full HP and MP, but costs ALL of Maya's own MP in the process. Use it wisely when a full party revive is absolutely necessary.
