Description

Curaja is a spell available to the Medic ability that restores HP to all party members. The lower their HP is, the more it will recover. It has an ATB cost of 2. It is learned by Vanille (Stage 8) and Hope (Stage 9). Curaja restores 33% less HP on Easy Mode.

The formula for Curaja is the same as Curasa:^[1]

\text{recovery amount} = \text{lost HP} \times \left(0.12 + \frac{\text{magic}}{10000}\right)

"Lost HP" is equal to the difference between the max HP and current HP and "magic" is the Magic stat of the caster. The most HP, as a proportion of lost HP, that can be recovered using Curaja is 52.17%.

Final Fantasy XIV

Cure IV is used exclusively by Kuribu, the final boss of the Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). The spell's effectiveness varies based on the party's proximity to the boss; the closer the party is to Kuribu, the less it is healed. When Kuribu is under Reverse, the spell instead targets the party and deals damage. In this case, the party must move as far away from the boss as possible in order to minimize the damage they take.
