Comments

One of the reasons why Water Magic is underrated is this spell, which seems rather weak at first glance if you just focus on hit points (even on Expert w/ Spell Power of 20 you'll only heal 130 HP, see list further below).

Compared to damage spells it doesn't do much.

Spell Name Single Target Bonus damage at Basic Bonus at Adv Bonus at Expert Variable Damage
Magic Arrow Yes 1x (10 dmg) 2x (20 dmg) 3x (30 dmg) 10 dmg / spell power
Frost Ring No, splash damage to bystanders, not target 1.5x (15 dmg) 3x (30 dmg) 6x (60 dmg) 10 dmg / spell power point
Ice Bolt Yes 0.5x (10 dmg) 1x (20 dmg) 1.5x (30 dmg) 20 dmg / spell power point
Cure All units at Expert 2x (10 heal) 4x (20 heal) 6x (30 heal) 5 heal / spell power point, clear negative conditions too


But it's hidden strength is the ability to cancel any and all curses which have been cast on your troops.

On Expert it is a cleansweep of your entire army, which can at a stroke cancel several turn's worth of enemy spells (most notably Blind).

Expert Cure can be used as an alternative of Expert Dispel to only remove negative conditions and curses instead of removing both negative and positive effects.
