After that you can either cast Egress or finish the battle. Finally go to any town, enter a shop and go to the DEALS option. You should be able to find the weapons you discarded from enemies in earlier battles. You can also "steal" any ring and rare item that enemies may be carrying.

cover spell puts a blackish-grey cloud over your enemy and slowly drains
the mp, hp, and kp, much like the "Jilon" spell.

Island (about to face Zeon) go to Yeel and play the piano in one of the houses. Then go to the church. The priest will think you're devils. Chaz

Hint: Mithril And Dry Stone

When you bring the fairy to heal the sick dwarf in the cave, there is a fireplace. Search the fireplace to obtain the Dry Stone, which will allow you to enter a secret town later on in the game.
