• An Increase spell, but stronger than usual.
• All enemies become confused.
• A Sleep spell that affects all enemies.
• A Defense spell, but stronger than usual.
• The "Sorcerers Call", which causes all allies to faint and all enemies to run away. The battle ends with no EXP or GP gained. In a battle with Hargon or Malroth, this merely restarts the battle.
