Vanish (Final Fantasy IX status)

Vanish is a defensive status effect in Final Fantasy IX that makes physical attacks against the target miss while under its effect unless the attacker is equipped with Accuracy+. Vanished one's own attacks cannot be evaded. Vanish wears off when hit with magic, or on its own after a time.
==Mechanics==
A time limit is established by multiplying the target's Spirit by the base limit of the status.
:Duration: Spirit * 240
The time limit will decrease by a rate of deduction dictated by the target's current status (Haste, Slow, or none). When the time limit expires, the status is removed. Rates of deduction are dictated by the Battle Speed setting chosen in the Config menu.

==Use==
Vanish is best when combined with Zidane's Protect Girls and Steiner/Freya/Amarant's Cover; the vanished protector steps in to take physical blows meant for critical allies, but sustains no damage doing so as the attacker will miss. Having Vanish and Reflect on the same target is also ideal; Reflect stops spells from hitting, and Vanish prevents physical attacks.
