Imp (Final Fantasy VI status)

Imp is a status in Final Fantasy VI. All abilities except Attack, Items, Magic, Revert, Mimic, Row, Defend, Jump, Dualcast, Pray, and Shock are disabled. All magic except for Imp are also disabled. All weapons except for the Impartisan provide only 1 attack power, and all armor except the Tortoise Shield, Saucer, and Reed Cloak provide only 1 defense power. However, those four items give their listed power instead of their usual 1. Most monsters use 1 as their attack power under imp status, but some instead retain full attack power and always get critical hits.
Imped party members have the imp sprite when in battle, but their normal model out in the field even if the imp status persists outside of battle until healed. The imp has a full spritesheet, including a chocobo/Magitek riding sprite that cannot be seen. Monsters in imp status get an uglier sprite with a coloration based on the monster's palette. Although imp status is normally a negative effect, it does allow the use of imp equipment, which is very powerful, although its numerical advantages must be evaluated against losing almost all of the character's special abilities.
