** Another recurring spell, "Doom", starts a timer that kills the afflicted character when the timer runs out. In ''FinalFantasyVIII'', the Curse spell actually inflicts Doom, though the Curse status ailment is a separate entity.
** In ''FinalFantasyI'', the prince of the elves was cursed by the dark elf Astos with eternal sleep. Only an herb from the witch Matoya can wake him. Unfortunately, she's blind and needs a special eye to see...and Astos stole it from her.
** In ''FinalFantasyIII'', Djinn curses the kingdom of Sasune and turns everyone in the kingdom of Sasune to ghosts. Two future party members, Ingus and Refia, missed getting cursed because neither was around when the curse hit. The only way to lift the curse is with Princess Sara's Mythril Ring, which needs to seal the Djinn inside and then be purified.
