FFVI Kefka light of judgement iOS

The Light of Judgment cutting across the planet's surface.

Anyone who opposes Kefka is killed. He burns down their entire town from his tower with the Light of Judgment.

Citizen of Tzen

The Light of Judgment (裁きの光, Sabaki no Hikari?) in Final Fantasy VI is the destructive ray of energy sent down by Kefka Palazzo from atop his tower onto towns which he feels are resisting him, or when he is bored, and it kills the adults that do not accept Kefka as the new god of magic. The Light is a destructive beam cutting a path of flame into the ground, and it is implied the light creates or summons monsters to wreak more havoc. When not in use, the Light of Judgment appears as four glowing white orbs that move up and down near Kefka, with one pair moving along a longer path and the other pair moving along a shorter path.

FFVI Kefka LoJ orbs iOS

The Light of Judgment orbs surrounding Kefka when not in use.

Kefka turned the Light of Judgment on Mobliz and South Figaro sometime prior to Celes Chere awakening a year after the cataclysm. Mobliz's adults were killed protecting their children and half the town was destroyed, while most of Narshe's citizens either perished or fled, leaving the town largely abandoned and plagued by monsters. South Figaro's citizens largely survived and rebuilt the town. Kefka later turns the Light on Tzen, destroying a mansion with a young boy inside. Bearing up the house's weight with his strength, Sabin Rene Figaro delays its collapse long enough for Celes to save the child.

During the party's final confrontation with Kefka at the top of his tower, the orbs that represent the Light of Judgment hover near him. After the party rejects Kefka's nihilistic plans, Kefka activates the Light of Judgment and sweeps it across the face of the planet, intending to kill everyone. No specific target or casualties are shown, however.

Spoilers end here.

Menu description of Kefka's EX Burst

Kefka's EX Burst, Warring Triad, may finish with him casting Light of Judgment, a pillar of destructive golden light that hits the enemy from above and explodes on them, assuming the player memorizes and repeats the displayed button commands successfully. When using the attack, Kefka yells that the attack is "filling [Kefka] up!" before firing it via a motion of his arm, before darkly saying "That was titillating!" upon the attack making contact with its opponent. Otherwise, Kefka uses the weaker Forsaken attack.

In Dissidia 012, its power is slightly boosted.
