“Fire is the most elementary of black magic spells.”

—Rosa

Fire (ファイア, Faia^?) is the most common elemental Black Magic spell in Final Fantasy history and is the basic Fire-elemental spell. It is usually the first attack spell the player learns.
In the PAL versions, Fire is also known as "Piro" (Spanish), "Feuer" (German), "Brasier" (French), and "Огонь" (ogon', Russian). It is generally the first spell a Black Mage, or a general mage, knows or should learn. Most undead and plant enemies are usually weak to it.
