Pain in Final Fantasy VIII.

Pain (ペイン Pein) is a recurring magic spell in the Final Fantasy series. Its effects vary, but usually involve heavily handicapping the target.

Appearances

Final Fantasy VIII

Pain is a high-level spell drawn only from stronger enemies, such as Tri-Face or Elnoyle, or refined with Diablos's ST Mag-RF. It inflicts Darkness, Silence, and Poison, simultaneously. Junctioning Pain to ST-Atk-J will add the three statuses to every attack, while junctioning it to ST-Def-J defends the character from the statuses. Template:FFVIII Spell

Final Fantasy X

Pain is an ability used by the aeon Anima. The player gains access to this ability when summoning Anima with Yuna; Pain, is Anima's special attack, and inflicts instant death that also deals damage to the few enemies immune to death spells, often 99,999 with high enough stats. Its a Rank 6 command, which means it has double the recovery time of a normal attack.

During the battle with Seymour, Anima can use the Pain ability to inflict instant death on all who are not immune to it. Pain can also be used by Belgemine's Anima.

Dark Anima has its own version of Pain which functions the same as an ordinary Pain, except it cannot be avoided and bypasses immunity to instant death.

Final Fantasy X-2

Anima uses Pain when fought against on the path to the Farplane. It works differently than in Final Fantasy X, this time inflicting non-elemental damage and various status effects; namely Silence, Blind, Itchy and reducing Strength, Defense, Magic, Magic Defense, Accuracy, and Evasion by 1 level.

Final Fantasy XIII

Pain inflicts the status Pain on a target, preventing the usage of close-range attacks. The upgraded form of the spell is called Painga.
