====Spells====

Bianca has a similar spell list to {{Nera}}, but she has fewer spells overall since she lacks [[Midheal]], [[Kaboom]] and [[Tick-tock]]. ~~She does possess~~ the lowest ~~level versions~~ of [[Frizz]] and [[Sizz]], ~~which~~ Nera ~~lacks... but {{Nera}} has their higher~~ level ~~variants~~ which ~~outclass them~~ in every way (aside from ~~spell~~ cost). Ultimately, Bianca is a decent mage but her advantages over {{Nera}} lie elsewhere, such as starting at a higher level, having slightly better physical strength, and being able to equip [[Metal king helm]], which Nera cannot.

Bianca has a similar spell list to {{Nera}}, but she has fewer spells overall since she lacks [[Midheal]], [[Kaboom]] and [[Tick-tock]]. Although Bianca alone learns the lowest levels of Frizz and Sizz, Nera will end up learning the highest level versions in any case, which are superior in every way aside from their higher MP cost.

In contrast, she is overall a superior mage to {{Debora}}, possessing all but one of {{Debora}}'s spells ([[Whack]]), and a few that {{Debora}} does not (most notably, the [[Frizz]] line of spells). She is, however, a weaker physical fighter than {{Debora}} and cannot equip certain weapons that {{Debora}} can.

In contrast, she is overall a superior spellcaster to {{Debora}}, possessing all but one of Debora's spells ([[Whack]]), and a few that Debora does not (most notably, the Frizz line of spells). She is, however, a weaker physical fighter than Debora and is unable to equip some of the same weapons as her.
