Haste (Final Fantasy III)

Haste is a White Magic spell in Final Fantasy III. It grants the haste effect to a target, increasing their hit rate. Haste is usable by the White Magic skillset by default. 
Enemies in the remakes have access to an Agility stat, allowing some bosses to use Haste to increase their damage and action speed against the party. In both remakes, the second boss in Doga's Grotto has access to Haste. In the 3D remake, both Xande and his clone have access to the spell.
==Obtained==
The spell can be bought in Doga's Manor and Doga's Village for 10,000 gil.
It can be used by the White Mage, Devout, and Sage jobs in all versions. The Onion Knight job can also use the spell in the 3D remake. Additionally, Unei can also cast Haste when she joins the party as a guest, with her variant being used on the entire party.
The Bacchus's Cider item also casts the Haste spell.
==Mechanics==
===Pixel Remaster and 3D remakes===
In the 3D and Pixel Remaster remakes, Haste increases the target's hit rate by 1.2x and increases their action speed for 5 turns. The amount of turns in effect can be increased based on the caster's job level, with 9 turns being the highest amount. 
===Famicom===
In the original Famicom version, Haste is a stackable spell increases the Attack power of the target by 5 and increases the target's maximum hits by a randomly determined amount, based on the magical multiplier of the user (determined as (Spirit / 16) + (Level / 16) + (Job Level / 32) + 1) and the accuracy of Haste (16 + Spirit / 2). If the target's Attack is at cap or have their maximum hits at 16, Haste will be ineffective. 
Haste has an initial 21% chance of granting its effect, with its probability rate increasing based on the caster's job level. The following are the Haste probability rates from the Famicom release:
Job level	Probability
1 - 19 	21 - 28.5%
20 - 39 	27.5% - 36%
40 - 59 	34% - 43.5%
60 - 79 	40.5% - 51%
80 - 98 	47.5% - 58.5%
99 	53.5% - 65.5%
