Libra (Final Fantasy V)

Libra, also known as Scan, is a White Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It reveals a target's HP, MP, level, and elemental weaknesses. Libra is usable by the White Magic and Red Magic skillsets (and can be used twice with Dualcast). Libra is also one of the spells that can be cast for free from the Wonder Wand.
Libra is also an enemy ability that can be used by Omniscient, Siren, and Tiny Mage.
==Obtained==
Libra can be purchased for 80 gil at Tule, Karnak, or Jachol. Tule is the earliest place Libra can be obtained. Once it is purchased, it can be used by any of the skillsets with the spell.
==Use==
Libra is an inexpensive spell that can reveal a target's weaknesses and level, which is helpful in determining what abilities to use. It can be useful to reveal weaknesses before choosing a Black Magic spell to cast, or confirming that a Blue Magic spell affects an enemy. Beyond this, checking their current HP and MP can be helpful to find out how quickly an enemy can be defeated, or for when a Beastmaster should try to catch them. The only downside is that using Libra spends a turn. However, since it is in the White Magic skillset, the party's White Mage does not always have much to do if no one needs healing.
As well as Libra, the ability Scan can be used. This is free to use and costs no MP, but takes up an ability slot, whereas Libra is bundled with White Magic.
