Reverse (status)

Reverse is a status effect appearing in Final Fantasy XII and is also the name of the Arcane Magick spell which inflicts such an effect. Reverse causes attacking and healing to have the opposite effect for the character who is currently affected; ie when an enemy is in Reverse, all attacks directed at it will heal rather than injure.

Although the status is classed as negative, it can be very beneficial in long battles by casting Reverse on one or all members of the party so all attacks from the enemy will heal them. The only drawback is that if any party members have an Esuna Gambit active, they will immediately attempt to remove the status due to it's negative classification.

The License for Reverse is Arcane Magick 6 and costs 70LP to purchase and 50MP to cast (initially). The spell itself can be bought from the Clan Provisioner at the Muthru Bazaar in Rabanastre for 7600 gil.
