The Final Fantasy series is well known for its characters and their outrageous abilities. Some of these abilities are extravagant, such as Knights of the Round. Others are more subdued, such as the Lamp spell that cures Dark in the original Final Fantasy. Which abilities from this series would be practical in real life situations?
Teleport
Teleport from Final Fantasy Tactics is not only one of the most useful abilities in the game, but also could be useful in real life situations. You can acquire the ability to Teleport within a reasonable range by gaining 600 JP as a Time Mage. Imagine not ever having to wait to cross the street? How about never having to drive through Rush Hour traffic, or wait forever for Public Transportation? With the Teleportation ability, getting to where you need to go could be a breeze!
Stop
Ever have a big project to do on a short notice? Of course you have! Well, even if you haven’t, imagine finding yourself in such a situation. The thing you would want most is more time to finish what has to be done. Well, with the Stop spell, you’d be able to freeze time, giving yourself enough time until the spell wears off to finish everything you need to do. Need to go grocery shopping before picking up the kids from school? Oh my god, its 3:25 and you only have 15 more minutes before you need to pick them up! Well, with Stop, you can freeze those little munchkins in Art class while you stock up on Beefaroni, then make a bee-line to the school before the spell wears off.
Waterja
How’s the weather in Arizona? Hot and arid! Well, with Waterja, you can say goodbye to the dry with a snap of your fingers. The Governor of California says you can’t water your grass because of the drought? Well, you could flood the streets in an instant, saving farms as well as people’s lives. Sally Struthers may want you to send money to feed the children of Africa, but you can do better by rejuvenating the soil so their parents could grow enough crops to not only feed their families (which, in all honesty, would be confiscated by the warlords, who’ll sell those crops to American corporations leaving the people in destitute, but that’s another matter).
Silence
Ever want to shut your mother-in-law, little sibling, or teacher/boss up? Well then, Silence is the spell for you! Are you tired of your dad telling you to get a job? Are you sick of your mom nagging you to be more like Lloyd Braun? With a simple chant, you can shut them the hell up in no time. No more “Take out the trash!” Say goodbye to hearing your wife screech at you about… whatever that is, who’s listening anyway?
