Blink (Final Fantasy V)

Blink, also known as Image, is a White Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It grants the image effect to a target, causing them to absorb two physical attacks against them. Blink is only usable by the White Magic skillset (meaning White Magic must be used to Dualcast it). Blink is also one of the spells that can be cast for free from the Wonder Wand.
==Obtained==
Blink can be purchased for 3,000 gil at Regole, Castle of Bal, Surgate Castle, or Quelb. Regole is the earliest place it can be obtained.
==Use==
Blink is a relatively inexpensive spell that causes the target to entirely avoid two physical attacks against them. This can be a great way to reduce physical damage taken by the target. It is especially useful on characters who have low HP and/or low Defense (namely those without the ability to equip heavy armor) or are otherwise very vulnerable to attacks. The main downside is that it can only be used on one target.
The ability Image, learned by the Ninja, also has the same effect for no MP cost. However, it requires an entire ability slot to equip, making it less slot-efficient than equipping White Magic.
Other spells exist to reduce physical damage, including the White Magic spell Protect, which halves physical damage taken. This can also be granted by the Blue Magic spell Mighty Guard to the entire party. Another way to protect the entire party from physical damage is Golem, who can absorb a significant amount of physical damage once summoned.
