Curse, as seen in Final Fantasy IX.
Makes the enemy weak against some elemental property.
Description, Final Fantasy IX.
Curse (カーズ, Kāzu? or 呪い, Noroi?) is a recurring spell that usually inflicts the status ailment of the same name, though sometimes it may inflict a whole host of status ailments. It is often made available to player characters and enemies alike.
The word "curse" is transliterated into Japanese as カース (Kāsu?), as it is named in Final Fantasy Dimensions. Therefore an apt literal translation of カーズ (Kāzu?) would be "curze".
