Confuse (Final Fantasy VIII status)

Confuse is a status in Final Fantasy VIII. The afflicted performs random actions against random targets. For the party, these actions include the Attack/Mug, Magic, and Item commands. The effect remains indefinitely until the end of battle, and can be cured with a physical attack. It is an especially hazardous status that may end up wasting some of the party's rare items.
==Mechanics==
The actions that the confused units takes are determined as follows:
* Step 1:
:Randomly select one of the four commands a character has. If selected command is not "Attack", "Mug", "Magic", or "Item", the selection defaults to "Attack"/"Mug".
* Step 2:
:If either "Magic" or "Item" are selected, the game randomly selects a spell/item from the list of available spells/items.
* Step 3:
:The game decides which target group (allies or enemies) should be selected with both groups having a 50% chance.
* Step 4:
:A random target from the target group is selected if the attack is single-target.
