Blind (Final Fantasy XII status)

Blind is a status in Final Fantasy XII that halves physical abilities' accuracy. Blind persists until healed, even after KO. The Technick Sight Unseeing can cause the target's HP to drop drastically if the user is blinded. Some attacks still hit almost every time even if the user is blinded, like 1000 Needles and Horology.
==Abilities==
Spell 	Blind & Blindga (Green [OG] / Black Magicks [Zodiac])
Weapon	Ashura 5% (Zodiac), Black Bolts 25%, Mud Shot 25%
The blinding spells' efficacy depends on stats and potential Faith on the caster and Shell on the target, but with the Indigo Pendant accessory on the caster, the ailment will take effect every time unless the recipient is outright immune.
Blinded party members can use Stamp to inflict others.
With the Nihopalaoa accessory, items designed to heal Blind will inflict it instead.

==Use==
Blind can be useful against enemies that use a lot of physical attacks, like the behemoth-type monsters. It also works against the Garuda boss outside the Tomb of Raithwall and against Archaeoaevises in the Zertinan Caverns, which were made the game's toughest foe in the Zodiac versions. The player can also first berserk a foe and then blind them, leaving them only using physical attacks that commonly miss; this is one strategy that works against the aforementioned Archaeoaevises.
Having Blind status on a party member makes them able to use Sight Unseeing. It can be useful for poaching enemies.
