Subject: BOF2 'Bonus' spells and who gets them

I was just wondering which characters you gave the 'bonus' spells to and
why. Here are my thoughts...
Renew - From Ray after completing the Well ordeal in Capitain
=> I gave this one to the Hero. I figured that since he was always in the
party, and since he seems to die least often (at least for me) that he
should get it. Found this to be a wise choice :)
ChopChop - From the Chef in WildCat
=> I decided to give this one to Katt. I figured she needed some way to
combat those "Ha, I only take 1 HP for every single hit" creeps. I
found that I used her alot more after this :)
Boombada - From those EVIL EVIL bells!
=> Gave this one to the Hero as well. If you want to attack all the enemies
and don't want to use all of your AP then use this! I haven't regretted
this, but I haven't used it continuously either.
Missle#1 - From Barose (if he's in your town of course)
=> First, I gave this to Bow. Since he has NO attack magic, I figured that
this was a good start. :)
Missle#2 - From that Barose dude
=> You guessed it... Spar. Although that Cold spell rocks..(he he get it?.hmm)
He needed some PUNCH!
Missle#3 - From .. um .. Barose
=> Rand. Another healer that needs a little more juice. Like that 8.0 but
that Thunder just doesn't cut it.
Missle#4 - Barose located in The Wise Tree's Mind
=> Well, gave this on to Jean. The only other choices were Hero, Nina, and
Sten. Sten gets it naturally, Nina already kicks butt, and the Hero has
Boombada. :) But seriously, Jean needed a little more kick too although
I really like that Hush.
Well, thats it right!..? Oh, by the way, Doesn't the Death spell rule!
From what I can recall, in most games the Death-type spells rarely work
at all, and now it works about 89% of the time or more! Like the animation
as well. Of course the Sap/Drain never work for me, and that type usually
works often in other games. Also, the attribute-lowering spells don't work
as often in BOF2 either. Oh well, rather have Death :)
Guess I should go too class (and give you a break). I could go on and on and..
cya!

The legends tell that Scorpion once spoke:
: I was just wondering which characters you gave the 'bonus' spells to and

I like giving this to Nina, since the Hero needs the AP for
effective Dragon Attacks. Rand and Bow learn it naturally, Katt
doesn't have enough AP. Sten's a choice, but I don't like him. ;)

This is good for everyone. I generally give it to Jean or
Nina, though, since they're the ones who seem to run out of power as
far as melee goes later on. (Although once you get the Holy Shaman,
Jean rocks the enemies... 999 damage, consistently, to everyone. :)

I only bothered getting this one once... I think I gave it to
Spar since I needed a better use for his AP than casting Cure1 and
Cold.
: [Barose's spells]
I gave these to Hero (first time, before I knew what Barose
did), Spar, Rand, and Jean.
