Tornado (Final Fantasy III)

Tornado is a White Magic spell in Final Fantasy III. It is one of the strongest White Magic spells, being an evolved version of the game's Aero spells. When used, it has a chance of reducing the enemy party's HP to single digits. 
Tornado is also an enemy ability. The second boss of Doga's Grotto and their clone can use Tornado against the player party in all versions. Guardian and Echidna can also use Tornado against the player in the 3D remake.
==Obtained==
Tornado is purchasable in Eureka for 60,000 gil. It can be used by the Devout and Sage jobs in all versions. The Onion Knight job can also use the spell in the 3D remake.
==Mechanics==
===Pixel Remaster and 3D remakes===
In the 3D and Pixel Remaster remakes, Tornado has a base accuracy of 40% and can be increased in calculation with the caster's Intellect (3D) and Mind (PR) stats. Unlike the Famicom version, Tornado hits all enemies by default, no longer having the option to be used on a single enemy.
===Famicom===
In the original Famicom version, Tornado could be casted on a single target, or group-casted to effect all enemies. It has an initial 52.5% chance of working on enemies, with its probability rate increasing based on the caster's job level. The following are the Tornado probability rates from the Famicom release::
Job level	Probability
1 - 19 	52.5%
20 - 39 	60%
40 - 59 	67.5%
60 - 79 	75%
80 - 98 	82.5%
99 	89.5%

==Other appearances==
The Final Fantasy III version of Tornado has appeared in some mobile spin-offs, often as a unique ability for Unei.
In Pictlogica Final Fantasy ≒, Tornado is Unei's special attack. It deals damage worth 99% of the target's current HP, with a cap of 9999. However, the ability will always miss on bosses.
Tornado (III) appears as an Arcane Dyad Soul Break for the Onion Knight in Final Fantasy Record Keeper. On the first use, it grants the user a stack of damage cap break for their attacks, as well as allowing them to stack their wind-elemental attack level up to three times, for a period of time. On its second use, the Onion Knight will perform a 21 hit wind-elemental magic attack on a single target, with the final strike dealing a powerful blow that naturally breaks the damage cap.
Tornado was also a Legend summon ability in Final Fantasy Airborne Brigade. When the Legend card was used, Unei from the title would charge into the battlefield to cast Tornado and dealt damage to boss encounters.
