Doom (ability)

Condemned, sometimes called Count, Death Sentence, or Doom, is a status ailment that appears in most titles starting with Final Fantasy IV. It places a counter over the target's head, and when it reaches zero, the target dies. The speed at which the counter drops to zero depends on the target's speed. It appears as Blue magic in most titles, namely Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy IX. In Final Fantasy IV, it was an enemy skill used by the FatalEye and the Plague, and could not be used by the party. In Final Fantasy VIII, it was a command ability that could be equipped. Junctioning Shiva allowed characters to equip this ability.
