Blink (ability)

Blink (ブリンク, Burinku), also known as Image, Mirage, or Ruse, is a recurring spell that increases evasion.

Final Fantasy
Blink, also known as RUSE in the Famicom release, is a level 1 White Magic spell which increases the caster's Evasion stat by 80 points.

The spell can be bought at Cornelia and can be learnt by the White Mage, White Wizard, Red Wizard, and Knight Job classes. In the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary Edition releases it costs 3 MP to cast.

Final Fantasy II
Blink is a White Magic spell which increases the Evasion of one of all allies, which reduces the hit rate of enemy attacks. As the spell's level grows, the spell's effectiveness and success rate increases. The effect can stack, however repeated use on the same unit(s) increases the chance that the spell will miss. Any character can learn Blink by having them use the Blink Tome (called the Blink Scroll in the Origins release).

Final Fantasy IV
The White Magic spell Blink and the Ninjutsu spell Mirage, also known as Image, causes a character to gain the Image status - he or she can avoid the next two physical attacks. In the Advanced port Mist Dragon can cast Blink when summoned, only after Rydia completes her Lunar Trial. Mirage will only target Edge himself, while Blink can be cast on anyone in the party, at a much lower cost than Mirage.

Final Fantasy V
White Mages have the White Magic Blink, while Ninjas have the command ability Image.

Final Fantasy XI
Blink is a spell that, when it is cast on a character, they gain protection from the next physical attack that would hit them and cause that attack to automatically miss. Blink can be dispelled by a Dispel effect, a successful physical attack, which will be negated by Blink, or if the protected target is hit with an multi-target physical or magical ability. There are also Ninjutsu spells in Final Fantasy XI that give a Ninja Blink for more than one hit.

Dissidia Final Fantasy
Blink is a Story Mode skill. It enables the character to prevent an instance of Berserk once.
