Arise (Final Fantasy V)

Arise is a White Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It is the stronger revival spell, reviving an ally to full HP. When used on undead targets, it instantly kills them. Arise can only be usably by the White Magic skillset, meaning that to Dualcast it, White Magic level 6 must be equipped. Arise is also one of the spells that can be cast for free from the Wonder Wand.
==Obtained==
Arise can be purchased for 10,000 gil at Phantom Village.
==Mechanics==
Arise revives a KO'd ally with full HP. If used against an ally who is not KO'd, the spell will miss.
Against a non-Heavy undead enemy, Arise has a good chance to kill them even if they resist instant death. On an undead ally, or a Heavy undead enemy (i.e. most bosses), it will have no effect.
Arise's chance to kill a non-Heavy undead enemy as follows:
:Spell Hit\% = 99 + Attacker Level - Target Level
:Evade\% = Target Magic Evade\%
If the target has shell, the Spell Hit% is halved. If the target is a toad, its Evade % is reduced to 0.
The game generates two random numbers between 0 and 99.
:If N1 >= Hit%, the spell misses
:If N2 < Evade%, the spell misses
Arise is reflectable; KO'd allies don't have reflect, so this mainly affects with using Arise to instantly dispatch undead enemies.
==Use==
Arise has a hefty MP cost, but is very MP- and turn-efficient. Whereas using Phoenix Down or Raise will require more MP or items to be healed after (to ensure they are not immediately killed after being revived), Arise fully heals them in one use. As such, it is the superior choice.
The other full HP revival means are summoning Phoenix, and some Mixes. Phoenix has almost twice the MP cost, but fully heals an ally's MP and damages all enemies in the process. Phoenix is the best way to fully revive a character who is a spellcaster and is also using MP, whereas Arise should be used in other cases. The mixes Reincarnate and Resurrection have effects identical to Phoenix and cost items rather than MP to use.
When used against undead enemies, Arise has a similar effect to Death for non-undead enemies, but has a very high chance to hit. As such, Arise is a good way to battle undead enemies, aside from its inefficient MP cost.
