MBarrier (Final Fantasy VII status)

left
MBarrier is a status in Final Fantasy VII. MBarrier halves magical damage and healing taken and its duration is indicated by a depleting gauge in the player's battle menu. MBarrier depletes faster with Haste and slower with Slow and is halted entirely by Stop. When struck by a spell, a transparent shield blocks it, shrinking as the effect runs out. MBarrier is the magic counterpart to Barrier. Other ways to protect from magic damage is with Reflect and Shield (elemental spells).

==Use==
MBarrier is a useful status for surviving magic attacks, and is best used through the Big Guard skill despite how fast it will run out due to Haste. Unlike Barrier, the row does not matter for reducing damage from magic attacks, but utilizing Sadness on top of MBarrier will significantly reduce incoming magic damage. The downside of MBarrier is that it also halves healing spells; the player can still heal unimpeded with White Wind (which is considered physical) and restorative Limit Breaks and items.
