Weakened

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Weakened is a status that pertains to Final Fantasy XI. After a player has been revived from a KOed status by a Raise spell, he will automatically receive a weakened status for a period of five minutes. This period of time can not be reduced by any means, either by a Cursna or Haste. A Weakened status will reduce a players HP and MP by 75%. It may also reduce a character's overall fighting ability for that period of time. Typically, though, players prefer not to fight in a weakened state and they wait the 5 minutes for the effect to wear off.

This status ailment is also called Weakness in a few instances in the game, but it is in the auto-translator as weakened.

Note that if a character chooses to return to their Home Point upon being defeated, Weakened will not occur, but the player forfeits the regained experience from being Raised.

The Blue Mage spell Self-Destruct costs 100MP, plus HP damage, and also inflicts the blue mage with the status effect weakened after it is used, though it does not actually kill the blue mage, as it does all of the creatures that use it.

Players who participate in Dynamis will also receive a weakened status should they exit and re-enter. This status lasts longer than if the player had actually died. This, presumably, is to discourage people from exiting--probably thought to be a good way to avoid the death of all alliance members at one point when something goes wrong in Dynamis, which it often does.
