Esuna (ability)



Esuna, also known as Heal, Remedy, and Clear , is a recurring spell in the Final Fantasy series. When cast on a character, it will remove most abnormal status effects.

Final Fantasy II
Esuna (Heal in the Famicom fan-translation version) is a White Magic spell that cures status effects that can otherwise last after battle. As the level of the spell increases, the more status effects it can cure and the higher the chance of success. At level 1, it can only remove Poison and Darkness. At level 2 and up, the spell will be able to remove Curse in addition to Poison and Darkness. Esuna will then be able to cure Amnesia at level 3, Toad at level 4, and Stone at level 5.

Esuna can also be used on multiple targets, although the chance of success is reduced drastically if the spell's level is not high.

Any character can learn Esuna by having them use the Esuna Tome (called the Esuna Scroll in the Origins release).
