A spellblade technique that curtails the body's freedom, preventing the target from taking action.
Description
Disable (ドンアク, Don Aku?, lit. Don't Act), also called Don't Act, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series that usually inflicts the Disable status effect. While there are many abilities available to enemy and ally alike that inflict the status, the Disable spell itself is normally a part of a specific class of magic.
