Asura's Boon , also known as Asura , is a recurring attack in the Final Fantasy series. It is the signature attack of the Asura summoned monster, often granting random effects depending on the face shown.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy IV===
Asura's Boon is the summon attack of Asura. When used, Asura's Boon will perform either Curaga if it is her serene (pale) face, Protect if it is her angered (orange) face, or Raise if it is her happy (gray) face.
In the original North American SNES release and the Japanese Easy Type version, the angry face casts Curaga and the serene face casts Cura, due to the Protect spell being removed. The ability has a casting time of 1 and costs 50 MP to cast in all releases of the game except the 3D remake, where summoning Asura costs 40 MP. 
In both English and Japanese, the attack's name was simply Asura in all releases up to the Game Boy Advance port. The name Asura's Boon was given to the attack in the 3D versions. However, this name change was not kept in the Japanese versions included in The Complete Collection.
