Analysis
Spire is acquired early and functions effectively as a “placeholder” for the more powerful Psynergy technique Ragnarok at level 14. Spire’s power of 40 against one target, for a PP cost of 5, is more than Earthquake’s power of 35 for a PP cost of 7, though Spire is learned 2 levels later and Earthquake damages up to 5 targets. Spire is best used against stronger enemies without allies. Clay Spire highly useful when first acquired, and so is Stone Spire. Stone Spire is considered a cheaper alternative to Grand Gaia.
