Confuse (status)

Confusion is a common status ailment in the Final Fantasy series. A character that is confused goes crazy on the battlefield. Unable to distinguish friend from foe, he or she will sometimes attack his or her own allies. It is even possible for a confused character to target himself/herself with a spell while confused. Confusion can usually be cancelled by hitting the confused character with an attack (usually by having a mage whack him/her with a rod or staff).
