In addition HP is restored to the amount shown during the skill's use; however, this can be a bane to characters with high HP because if your life is higher than the amount shown, it is reduced to that amount. You'd think that this would be a great way to weaken enemies with more than 9999 HP, but it won't work on your opponents in this manner--it will only heal them, remove status ailments, etc. :(

Learn: The Sneaky Steps in the Sealed Cave Also from the yellow, spiked enemies (Bound Fat) that live in front of and in the area behind the Forgotten Capital.
Tip: You could control these guys (the Bound Fats), but if you kill one it will counterattack with this skill so it may be easier to simply off one, especially if you don't have the Manipulate materia. If you do, then simply control them and pick the bottom option to use the Death Sentence.

Learn: From the floating card-jesters (Death Dealer) in the Northern Crater if you take the right path the first time you meet your friends.
