Chakra (Final Fantasy V)

Chakra is a Monk command ability in Final Fantasy V. It recovers some HP to the user, as well as cures them of the poison and darkness status effects. The ability is not innate to Monks, but is learned upon leveling up Monk to job level 3, at which point it can be equipped by any job.
==Obtained==
Chakra is not innate to Monks, and cannot be used until reaching job level 3 as a Monk. At this point, the ability can be equipped in the ability slot by any job. Job level 3 requires 90 AP as a Monk.
==Use==
Chakra heals the user with a spell of base 30 power, and removes the poison and darkness statuses if the character is afflicted with them. The heal is relatively small, and only benefits the user, but also costs no MP. What makes the ability turn efficient is the ability to both heal a character and remove the poison effect at once, which is possible for few abilities.
The main reason to equip Chakra is in dungeons with several enemies who inflict poison and darkness often. Darkness can be extremely detrimental to physical attackers, meaning the ability to cleanse the status for no MP or item cost can make said dungeons much easier. While poison is less harmful, the ability to cleanse it for free can also be helpful. In other situations, the ability slot for Chakra is better saved for a more turn-efficient and effective ability.
