Stona

Stona , also known as SOFT, is a recurring White Magic spell in the Final Fantasy series, which cures the Petrify status.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy===
Stona (SOFT on the NES) is a level 6 White Magic spell which removes Petrification from a single ally.
The spell can be bought at Crescent Lake and learned by the White Mage and White Wizard job classes. In the GBA/PSP/iOS releases it costs 10 MP to cast and unlocks for purchase at Level 26.
=== Final Fantasy III ===
Stona is a level 6 White Magic spell, being purchasable in Doga's Manor and Doga's Village for 10,000 gil. It removes the Petrify and Gradual Petrify (2D only) statuses from a target in or out of battle. It can be used by the White Mage, Devout, and Sage jobs in all versions.
In the original Famicom version, Stona had an initial 60% chance of removing the Petrify and Gradual Petrify, with its probability rate increasing based on the caster's job level. The following are the Stona probability rates from the Famicom release:
Job level	Probability
1 - 19 	62.5 - 72.5%
20 - 39 	71.5% - 80%
40 - 59 	78.5% - 87.5%
60 - 79 	84.5% - 95%
80 - 98 	91.5% - 100%
99 	97.5% - 100%
Stona has been changed to act like later series entries in the 3D and Pixel Remaster remakes, cleansing Petrify (3D and Pixel Remaster) and Gradual Petrify (Pixel Remaster only) from targets with a 100% chance. The Onion Knight job can also use the spell in the 3D remake.
