Mana Shield

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Mana Shield, also known as MP Switch, is a reaction ability in Final Fantasy Tactics. The Time Mage class learns it for 400 JP. Equipping this ability, the character loses MP instead of HP when attacked. It is good for job classes and action ability combinations that do not make use of MP.
