But yeah.

Crownered up.

I voted it down, btw, because I believe we should do a trope transplant here, not a rename.

So, go to a page action crowner here?

Of course, the only difference between a rename and a transplant is what happens to the old name after the page is moved.

True, but that's an important difference.

I had no idea that was the original definition. Wow...

Is this crowner enough to call?

I agree with the proposed transplant. Perhaps because I'm a n00b to the site, but I never suspected this was anything but 'Zombies hurt by cure spells'

Also, while Final Fantasy X is being mentioned (@26), there's also the second (zombified) form of Evrae that dies to two Phoenix Downs.

[up]That's not a noob. That's just showing that trope names stating X and Y are bad when the definition is Y and Z.

Calling crowner for transplant as it's 24 to 0.

So should we compile names for the alt crowner?

[up][up] Propose "Often Overlooked Weakness" as a possible name for the trope being transplanted.

I would be willing to sponsor such a trope through YKTTW if need be.

How about something like "Implausible Vulnerability"? Still too much Audience Reaction?

Implausible isn't really the right word. A lot of times these make perfect sense with the right logic. They're just not what the item or spell is normally used for in the game.

Ultimately the supertrope is "A spell or item that can be used in a way other than it's standard function."
