-Resist is the third level spell on the [[Magic Materia#Heal|Heal Materia]]. It makes characters immune to all statuses including [[Instant Death|instant death]], as well as locking any statuses the character has on at the time the spell is cast on them (except for [[Protect (status)|Barrier]], [[Shell (status)|MBarrier]], [[Reflect (status)|Reflect]], [[Shield (status)|Shield]], [[Regen (status)|Regen]], and [[Invincible (status)|Peerless]]), and costs 120 MP to cast. The item [[Vaccine]] has the same effect as this spell. Resist status can be removed with [[Dispel|DeSpell]] spell or the [[White Wind]] [[Enemy Skill Materia|Enemy Skill]].
+{{Q|Confers one-time status affliction protection.|Description}}
-Resist does not protect against statuses gained from the handicap reels in the [[Battle Square]]. This can lead to a rather serious handicap, as once applied, the Resist status will prevent the player from removing the status with normal [[Esuna (ability)|Esuna]] spells and healing items.
-If the player casts Reflect on all enemies and all party members, and then applies Resist status on them all, and tries to cast a spell to a target, the game will freeze.

-{{Q|Raise target's status ailment resistance.|Description}}
-Veil status raises resistance to debuffing spells; when a [[status effect#Negative Status Ailments|negative status effect]] is "inflicted", it will instead be neutralized and the Veil status removed. Veil can be cast through the spell of the same name learned by the [[Synergist (Final Fantasy XIII)|Synergist]] role, or through the [[shroud]] Aegisol outside of [[Battle (term)|battle]].
-Veil is a spell available to Synergists in Final Fantasy XIII. [[Oerba Dia Vanille|Vanille]] gets it at Crystarium Stage 10, [[Hope Estheim|Hope]] at Crystarium Stage 6, and [[Oerba Yun Fang|Fang]] at Crystarium Stage 7.

-''Final Fantasy XIII-2'' also has an upgraded version called Veilga. It imbues the Veil-status on the whole party, but has a shorter duration. [[Noel Kreiss|Noel]] learns Veil at [[Synergist (Final Fantasy XIII-2)|Synergist]] level 7, and [[Serah Farron|Serah]] learns it at 18. Many [[Paradigm Pack|recruitable monsters]] can also learn the spell. It imbues the target with the status of the same name.
