Final Fantasy IV — Palom and Porom Magic

Hi again! I was searching the internet and writing some SystemBuilder reports for work, and I had a whole bunch of trouble finding information for the levels at which Palom and Porom earn their various magic spells. I finally found a nice reference over at RPG Classics, but it wasn’t in the format I wanted. I reformatted it into a nice, plain, easy to ready text format, sorted by level. See it below.
