Toad (トード Tōdo), also known as Frog, is a recurring status effect in the Final Fantasy series. Characters inflicted with the ailment have their attack power reduced to it's base amount. Spell casting character affected cannot cast any spells other than Toad. Toad can be cured by casting Toad on an afflicted character or by using the Maiden's Kiss item.

Any units turned into a Toad will have their Accuracy greatly reduced, making them miss more often, and are unable to cast magic. This status lasts after battle until cured with a Maiden's Kiss, the spell Esuna at level 4 or higher, or the spell Toad.
The status effect appears again, once more preventing the use of magic and drastically decreasing a character's Attack and Defense. The decrease causes all attacks to be 1, or 0. The ailment can only be cured with a Maiden's Kiss, Esuna, or another Toad spell.
A party member with the Toad ailment will lose the ability to cast magic and will become weakened in Attack and Defense stats. Cures for the status effect are a Maiden's Kiss, Remedy, Esuna, or the Toad spell.
Toad-inflicted characters can't cast spells and their attack is pitiful - but may also inflict Toad on their target.
Note that Toad inflicted characters have different sprites for the battle screen and the field map.
