This patch gives Cecil and Rydia the additional white magic spells that were added in the 3D remake. Cecil gains Protect, Shell, and Life, and Rydia gains Confuse, Esuna, Cura, and Life. Since characters gain levels at different rates between the 2 versions of the game, levels are given that make sense within the 2D version's progression.

Version 2.0 adds a patch for the European ROM as well, courtesy of EvilJagaGenius.

-=Intro and Description=-
Final Fantasy IV has been released many times, and today, there are 2 main versions of it:
the 2D version and the 3D version. The 3D version took the liberty of expanding a few
characters' magic spell list to make them a bit more versatile. The 3 differences are:
1. Cecil gains Protect, Shell, and Life
2. Rydia, as a child, gains Confuse, Esuna, Cura, and Life
3. Edge gains 3 more Ninjutsu: Gale, Frost, and Quake

Sadly, Edge's new abilities do not exist in the GBA game's code. However, all of Cecil
and Rydia's magic is readily available. This patch adds the new spells to their list.
Since characters gain levels at different rates between the 2 versions of the game,
levels are given that make sense within the 2D version's progression.
