Quake (ability)

Quake is a recurring Black Magic spell in the Final Fantasy series. It usually deals Earth-elemental damage to one or all opponents, and may not affect flying enemies, depending on the game. It has two stronger versions, Quakra and Quaga, and a counterpart often exclusive to enemies called Earthquake. The Earthquake ability has been localized as "Quake" in The Final Fantasy Legend and Final Fantasy Legend II.
Generally in games where the Earth element exists, the counter-spell Float is available to avoid taking damage.
