Esuna (エスナ, Esuna?, lit. Esna), also known as Heal, and Remedy, is a recurring spell in the Final Fantasy series that removes most abnormal status effects. It can generally erase common ailments like Poison or Blind, which can also be removed by other spells like Poisona and Blindna, as well as less common status ailments that do not necessarily have their own removal spell. In some titles, Esuna has an upgrade called Esunaga. Its item equivalent is often the Remedy.

Final Fantasy II
Cures status ailments.Description
Esuna is a White Magic spell that cures status effects that can otherwise last after battle. As the spell levels up (by casting in battle, even if the party does not have status effects, or outside battle one use can restore the whole party when the level is sufficient for the debuff), the more status effects it can cure and the higher the chance of success. At level 1, it can only remove Poison and Darkness. At level 2 the spell can also remove Curse. Esuna will then be able to cure Amnesia (level 3), Toad (level 4), and Stone (level 5). At level 7+, Esuna has the odd ability to remove KO from a _target, reviving him/her with 1 HP.
Esuna can be used on multiple _targets, but doing so drastically lowers the chance of success unless the spell is on high level. Add one level to the above figures if the spell _targets all allies except Darkness, which can still be cured at level 1. Any character can learn Esuna by using the Esuna Tome (Esuna Scroll in Final Fantasy Origins) outside battle, or cast a strong Esuna level 8 on the party when the tome is used as an item in battle.
