Old (Final Fantasy V status)

Old is a status in Final Fantasy V. Also known as Aging, afflicted party members see their stats gradually deteriorate to 1 while their level remains the same, weakening them on every aspect. Enemies will have their level and agility gradually sink to 1 for all purposes; attacks that check for level will look at this deteriorating level. Old lasts the entire battle until cured (though curing it mid-battle only prevents further deterioration, it does not regain the lost stats), but is removed at the end of battle. When party members contract old status, their hair turns white.
The player can override some enemies' immunity to old with Level 2 Old Blue Magic.
