Freeze (ability)

Freeze is a recurring Black Magic spell in the series. It is often the strongest Ice elemental spell available in the games it appears in, and is acquired late in the game. It usually inflicts the status of the same name.

Final Fantasy V
In the Advance release, the Necromancer Job can learn Deep Freeze as a Dark Art. It does ice damage to a single enemy and inflicts Stop.

Final Fantasy VII
Freeze is the first spell available on the Contain Materia. It inflicts heavy Ice damage and Stop on the enemy.

Final Fantasy XI
Freeze is a form of Ancient Magic of the Ice element. It is available only to Black Mages. As with all Ancient magic, it takes an extremely large amount of MP to case, takes a long time to cast, and does a massive amount of damage. Freeze then inflicts a weakness versus Fire on the target for a short period of time. There is also another form called Freeze II, which is available only via merit points.
