Advanced Laws

In Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Judgemaster Cid has the power to issue Advanced Laws. These powerful tools of Ivalician justice can be used with much greater precision and scope than normal laws, allowing Cid to ban one specific action (such as Llednar Twem's Omega attack), or even any possible action a particular character (such as Ezel Berbier) can take.

Any unit violating an Advanced Law instantly receives a Red Card, even if he/she is wearing a Hero Medal, and unlike punishments for violating normal laws, punishments for violating an Advanced Law can be enacted as soon as the violating unit begins charging up for the forbidden attack. Llednar learned these facts the hard way by attempting to use Omega on Marche Radiuju, only to be teleported to the slammer mid-charge by Cid. The only way to defeat an Advanced Law is to nullify it with an Anti-Law, as demonstrated by Ezel Berbier.
