Causes sleep and old status on one enemy.

Time Slip is a Blue Magic spell from Final Fantasy V. It inflicts the status effects sleep and aging on one target.

The player may utilize this ability by catching and releasing a Traveler or Mykale.

Obtained[]

The earliest a Blue Mage can learn the spell is from Traveler in the Barrier Tower. It can later be learned form, Gilgamesh, Azulmagia, Cherie, and Mykale. Cherie and Mykale do not normally use the spell, meaning Control is needed.

Use[]

Time Slip can be a potent spell against enemies who are not immune to sleep or aging, as the ability will fail if the target is immune to either. Sleep will prevent them from acting until awoken, while aging deteriorates their stats, weakening them. As such, Time Slip can be a good way to neutralize an enemy as a threat. However, many bosses and larger enemies are immune to both statuses.

Casting Time Slip is more turn and MP-efficient than casting Sleep and Old as separate spells. Level 2 Old can be used instead on enemies with suitable levels, as it even ignores their status immunity.
