- "Sylphs, the Fair and Seldseen Fey...Only when they work as one, fitting about on their gossamer wings, is the true wonder of their delicate strength revealed."
- —Eidolon Library
The Sylphs live in the Sylph Cave in the Underworld. Cecil Harvey and his friends find them taking care of Yang Fang Leiden, who has been injured due to an attempt to stop the Super Cannon in the Tower of Babil.
The Sylphs do not let the party near Yang, as they do not trust humans. When Cecil comes back with a frying pan given to him by Yang's wife, he hits Yang with it and he wakes up. Yang offers his help, but the Sylphs would not let Yang leave. They offer Rydia their help instead as a summon. Two Sylphs can later be seen in the attack on the Giant of Babil, in a tank with Yang. In the Nintendo DS remake, Sylph is one of the few spells usable by the heroes that is the Wind element, the other being Edge's Gale ninjutsu.
The Sylphs take 25 MP to summon and deal Wind-elemental damage to the enemy, distributing the amount of damage they dealt to the enemies to the party as HP. In the SNES and Wii versions, there is a glitch that lets the player cast the Sylph summon for no MP cost.
