Reflectable Magitek beams bug

The Reflectable Magitek Beams Bug is a bug found in the game Final Fantasy VI that appears in every version of the game. The bug involves the spell Reflect and the Magitek's beams. The programmers forgot to flag these three beams as Not Reflectable. The bug causes harmless effects such as minor graphical glitch when the beams graphics appears on certain battle backgrounds.

The bug also causes permanent character displacement that last until the end of battle. When a character uses a beam on a reflect protected monster, the attacker will step forward and try to perform the selected beam attack. This forces the character in the first slot to use the walking animation while standing still and next use the blast animation of the beam while the reflected beam will strike a random party member. Curiously, the reflected shield animation or sprite of the Reflect spell does not appear on the monster the beam struck which implies that the beams were not intended to be reflectable. The attacker, or the one who pick the beam will not return to his previous position. The character will stay in his new position which will look out of place. This bug can be preformed multiple times as the player wishes, making the character(s) move closer to the monster(s).
