The effect of Mini is very different on the heroes or on the monsters. When a hero is miniaturized, his/her physical attack power is reduced significantly. There is a chance of recovery at the end of each turn and the status does not last after battle. It can be cured by Basuna at level 4 or higher. Monsters in mini status are instantly defeated: strictly speaking, they don't die, they just leave the battlefield, but characters still earn Gil and experience. Mini VII is exclusively cast by Ghost.
