Mini is a recurring White Magic spell in the Final Fantasy series. It inflicts the status of the same name, and is often found within the game's first quarter.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy II ===
The spell Mini is a White Magic spell which attempts to inflict Mini on one or all enemies. The success rate increases with the spell's level. Any character can learn Mini by having them use the Mini Tome (Mini Scroll in Final Fantasy Origins).
The effect of Mini is very different on the heroes or on the monsters. When a hero is miniaturized, his/her physical attack power is reduced significantly. There is a chance of recovery at the end of each turn and the status does not last after battle. It can be cured by Basuna at level 4 or higher. Monsters in mini status are instantly defeated: strictly speaking, they don't die, they just leave the battlefield, but characters still earn Gil and experience.
Mini VII is exclusively cast by Ghost.

Mini is a level 2 White Magic spell that can be bought in Gysahl for 700 gil, and is first received from Desch after freeing Bahamut on Dragon's Peak. It can be used by the White Mage, Sage, Red Mage, and Devout jobs. In the original Famicom version, Mini can also be used by Rangers, and in the 3D version, it can be used by Scholars and Onion Knights.
The effect of Mini differs depending on whether it is inflicted on the heroes or on the monsters. When a hero is miniaturized, their physical attack and defense stats are reduced to 1, all attacks and spells used against them have 100% accuracy, and damage from all sources is doubled. When a monster is miniaturized, it will instantly be defeated like in Final Fantasy II.
The party needs to be afflicted with the Mini status to access the town of Tozus, to leave the prison in Castle Hein and to navigate some of the dungeons (Tozus Tunnel, Nepto Temple, Cave of the Circle). In the 3D version, the boss Gutsco is capable of casting this spell on the entire party.
In the Pixel Remaster version, the players are unable to enter the town of Tozus unless their party has at least a level 8 character. Mini spell uses Lv2 MP which becomes available at EXP level 8 the earliest.
