Causes sleep and old status on one enemy.

Final Fantasy V description

Time Slip is a Blue Magic spell from Final Fantasy V. It inflicts the status effects sleep and old on one target.

The player may utilize this ability by catching and releasing a Traveler or Mykale.

Obtained[]

The earliest a Blue Mage can learn the spell is from Traveler in the Barrier Tower. It can later be learned form, Gilgamesh, Azulmagia, Cherie, and Mykale. Cherie and Mykale do not noramlly use the spell, meaning Control is needed.

Use[]

Time Slip can be a very potent spell against enemies who are not immune to sleep and old. Sleep will prevent them from acting until awoken, while old deteriorates their stats, weakening them. As such, Time Slip can be a good way to neutralize an enemy as a threat in a battle. However, many bosses and larger enemies are immune to both statuses.

Casting Time Slip is more turn and MP-efficient than casting Sleep and Old as separate spells. Level 2 Old can be used instead on enemies with suitable levels, as it even ignores their status immunity.
