Item transformation bug

The Item Transformation Bug is an extremely rare bug only in the SNES version of Final Fantasy V. The trick to pulling this bug off is about 25%, and it works as follows (using the following as an example):


 * Give the character at the top of the list the Normal or Mime class, then equip them with a Ribbon, White Robe or Angel Robe, and a Protect Ring.
 * Enter a battle, then have one of the other characters casts Quick, and with one of their attacks, that character must kill themselves.
 * End the fight normally with 3 of the characters still alive (including the character at the top of the list).

If done right, and when it works, whatever was in that character's hand will be turned into a different item. If the character, for example, had a weapon in their right hand but nothing in their left hand, they will end up with the item By RPGe (which is a dummied out item), or if that character had a Javelin in their left hand with a shield in their right, the Javelin will be transformed into the Ragnarok. It is best to save before attempting this bug however.
