Everyone would just level the appropriate mage class to get the ability, like most every player did with Cure and/or Second Wind.
That is true enough but they would still have to do it. They could either make them high level spells or job specific. Even then, if they were like level 25 CON (exemple) it's ok if everyone get the spells if they level up, after all there would be items to provide those effect so everyone is still able to get them.

The point thought is that it could make for more fun explorations and missions. Even if everyone is able to get the spell (they could make it available with guild marks only so it would be less common maybe) they still need to use it properly when it is needed.
