==Behind the scenes==
Early design documents for the first Final Fantasy depict magic spells organized into different tiers, some bore slightly different names, and there were only three spells per tier. There was also a Black Magic spell "Misaira" (ミサイル, Missile) that "fired a small arrow of flame", likely a reference to the Dungeons & Dragons spell Magic Missile. Oya, K. (Ed.)
