Is there any evidence to suggest something that would stop Death from becoming effective after a certain amount of time and/or castings in a single battle? I've had a lot of battles that went on to about 100 castings that never worked before I just gave up, and I've had a lot of times that Death worked in the first 10-20 attempts. But never have I had it work after about (estimating based on memory) 20 attempts. Never ever ever. I did a lot of those adamantoise battles, too. =/ I was upgrading all the weapons, so yeah.
