Shell is a status in Final Fantasy X. Shell will halve both magic damage and healing. Its physical counterpart is Protect. Some abilities do "special" damage that is not mitigated by either Protect nor Shell.
If Shell status is applied to a character from an ability or item, and SOS Shell activates afterward, the status becomes double-layered. The manually-applied status will be retained if the character is KO'd and subsequently revived, affecting Life, Full-Life, and Auto-Life.
