It costs no MP to perform and will restore everyone to 100% HP, making it more useful than Kerplunk itself... if it works! Kerplunk Dance is free but it can sometimes fail, leaving the party wiped out if the member using Kerplunk Dance was the only one left alive. Kerplunk itself, however, will never fail when cast unless the character has been Fizzled.
