Skill (Final Fantasy X)

Skill is one of the four main commands found in Final Fantasy X. All abilities found under it will deliver a physical attack with an additional effect for the cost of MP. Most Skill abilities are found in the Wakka and Auron sections of the Sphere Grid. Most Skills are Rank 3 abilities, and therefore have the same recovery time as a normal attack; however, some of the Skills found in the Auron section have a longer recovery time, and the Quick Hit ability is a faster version of a normal attack. A number of Skills serve the same function as Special abilities, but with an additional physical attack and MP cost.
There are 22 Skills, but only 16 appear in the original Japanese and NTSC releases. Skill abilities found in the Wakka section of the Sphere Grid are status-inflicting attacks. Final Fantasy X is notable for having fewer status-inflicting magic than other games in the Final Fantasy series, and most of the core statuses can only be inflicted on opponents via Skill abilities. Skills in the Auron section of the Sphere Grid are primarily "Break" abilities, which reduce the target's stats.
A number of Skill abilities appear in the Rikku section of the Sphere Grid and are relevant to thievery. A number of Skills appear in the Tidus section of the Sphere Grid and are relevant to the battle's turn order. The PAL, International, and HD Remaster versions have Extract abilities, which inflict a status on opponents that forces them to drop a specific type of Sphere. Each is found in a different section of the Sphere Grid.
