Deodorize

Deodorize is an Enhancing Magic spell in Final Fantasy XI.
Currently, no enemies detect by smell, so Deodorize cannot prevent being attacked by any enemies like Sneak and Invisible can. However, some enemies track by smell, meaning that once they begin to chase a player they will be difficult to elude without leaving the area unless the player's scent is removed. This is typically caused by running through water, or water weather being present in the area, but can also be caused by this spell.
Being attacked will erase the Deodorize effect. Because Deodorize only has a purpose if a scent-tracking enemy is already trying to attack, care must be taken to apply the Deodorize effect only once the player is outside of the enemy's range or has temporarily incapacitated the enemy. Otherwise, the enemy may strike and Deodorize status will be lost.
