Doom is cast by the Plague Horror and the Ahriman. An interesting fact is that getting hit by Doom when already under its effect will reset the character's remaining time to the base amount, stalling the character's death. Despite popular rumor and the game's own intentions, neither Haste or Slow affect the countdown, as the ATB bar runs off a completely different counter. Up to two enemies can be inflicted with the Doom status by design as this spell is reflectable. In the SNES version, a character has to take a turn before the KO status is inflicted on an enemy.
