Outside of battle, trying to use a White Magic spell will play the error sound effect when trying to use the spell.

While there is no Reflect spell, the status still appears. The enemies Ooze and Beholder are set in permanent Repel and are entirely immune to magic attacks. Pazuzu and Zuh have an ability called PsychShield, which sets Repel status on them for a short period of time. There is no way to achieve Repel status on the player's characters, however.
