Old (Final Fantasy V)

Old is a Time Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It inflicts the old effect on one target, which causes their stats to rapidly deteriorate, rendering them ineffective in battle.
==Obtained==
Old can be purchased for 6,000 gil from Moore.
Old can also be used by catching and releasing a Metamorph or Jackanapes from Castle Exdeath.
==Mechanics==
:Spell Hit\% = 90 + Attacker Level - Target Level
:Evade\% = Target Magic Evade\%
If the target has shell, the Spell Hit% is halved. If the target is a toad, its Evade % is reduced to 0.
The game generates two random numbers between 0 and 99.
:If N1 >= Hit%, the spell misses
:If N2 < Evade%, the spell misses
==Use==
Old is an inexpensive debuff that can greatly reduce a target as a threat. Due to the high hit rate of the spell (around 90%), it is worthwhile against any enemy who is not immune to the effect as a cheap way to reduce their damage output.
Alternatively, the Blue Magic spells Level 2 Old and Time Slip can cause the same effects in a more turn-efficient way; Level 2 Old applies to potentially multiple enemies and ignores the target's immunity to old, while Time Slip also inflicts sleep.
