SFX

SFX is a temporary ability in Final Fantasy IX. It is only available during the battles onstage the Prima Vista while the play I Want to be Your Canary is being acted. Aptly named, the ability allows for a flashy magic attack which does 0 damage and is purely for show. Only Zidane, Marcus, The Nero Brothers, Baku (playing as King Leo in the play) Cinna, and Blank can use this ability which replaces Steal.

The following SFX magic are:
 * Medeo - A small meteorite with colorful swirls smashes down the enemy. Name is based on Meteo.
 * Poly - A bright crystal ball shines upon the enemy, supposedly doing Holy damage. Name may be based on a combination of Holy and Pearl.
 * Pyro - A gust of flame engulfs the enemy, supposedly doing Fire damage. Name could be taken from a Twincast spell in Final Fantasy IV, or may simply be a shortening of "pyrotechnics," a type of special effects.
