Level 5 Death (Final Fantasy V)

Level 5 Death, also known as L.5 Doom, is a Blue Magic spell in Final Fantasy V. It causes Instant Death to any enemy whose level is a multiple of 5, ignoring the targets' resistance to Instant Death and the heavy flag. This means even bosses will be killed by the spell. However, it does not work against undead enemies, instead restoring them to full health.
Level 5 Death can also be used by catching and releasing an Executor.
==Obtained==
The earliest Level 5 Death can be obtained is from Page 64 in the Library of the Ancients. The spell can only be learned if the learners' level is a multiple of 5, meaning they must be hit by the spell. The player must beware that all of the party are not on the same level, or it will spell Game Over.
Level 5 Death can later be learned from Level Checker, Azulmagia, Executor, Enuo, and Level Tricker. Level Tricker will not normally use the ability, meaning Control is needed.
==Use==
Level 5 Death is an extremely potent ability when used in the right circumstances. If the player knows the level of the enemy in question (which can be checked using Libra or Scan, if needed), Level 5 Death kills them instantly without needing to fight them. This includes a few boss battles whose levels are multiples of five.
In most versions of the game, Level 5 Death can be made to work on any enemy by using certain mixes, like Dragon Power, to raise its level until it hits the maximum of 255, which is a multiple of 5.
Level 5 Death has a prohibitive 22 MP cost, meaning that even against enemies the player knows are the right level, it should be used conservatively.
