You'd never guess that FADE is actually the iconic series Spell Holy, between the name and its nature as a multi-target Spell. FADE is similar to NUKE in that it's highly accurate and non-elemental, though it deals 20% less damage. Unfortunately, attack magic just isn't that effective late in the game, and unlike Bl.Wizzes, Wh.Wizzes have worthwhile level 8 Spells. Still, it's fun to use in a pinch, and isn't a bad Spell by any means.

NUKE is the ultimate damaging Spell, but don't expect it to deal full damage very often. Still, nothing resists it, so you're guaranteed 100–200 damage to each target, with a chance to double that. It's easily the best level 8 black magic Spell, so don't miss it if you have a Bl.Wiz.

Good old iconic Holy is, like Flare, a multi-target Spell in its first series appearance. It is also extremely accurate and non-elemental like Flare, and does more damage than even Ice3. Unfortunately, attack magic just isn't that effective late in the game, and unlike Black Wizards, White Wizards have worthwhile level 8 Spells. Still, it's fun to use in a pinch, and isn't a bad Spell by any means.

Holy is the standard white magic damage Spell. It is non-elemental, and has a higher base power than the standard elemental Spells, though not as high as Flare. It's an effective Spell for your white mage to use when they have nothing better to do, and appears late enough in the game that MP conservation shouldn't really be an issue anymore. Don't expect Holy to be your best offensive Spell or anything, but it's nice to have.

Pearl is an interesting Spell, though not as powerful as you might expect. It only affects a single target, and deals less base damage than a tier-3 attack Spell. Its primary use is to take advantage of the relatively common weakness to Pearl. Of course, a great many of those Monsters are even more vulnerable to Fire 3.
