The Final Fantasy series, like most RPGs, has status effects, or conditions which affect a character's attributes or actions, for better or for worse. Some minor status ailments such as Poison or Blind are actually inflicted during special attacks, while some of the more advanced ones are their own spell or skill. Just about every status enhancement affects one person, or has an area effect that includes surrounding units.

Generally, Black Mages are the inflictors of status ailments, while White Mages can cure status ailments and also bestow status enhancements and Green Mages and Time Mages can bestow both status enhancements and status ailments.

Add Status is a means of inflicting status ailments on enemies at the same time as normal attacks, throughout much of the series.
