Etymology[]
To stop an entity means to make it unable to act, which this spell attempts to make the case for its target.
The Stop spell originates from the Final Fantasy series, originally appearing as a high-level paralysis-inflicting Black Magic spell in the original Final Fantasy. With the introduction of the Stop status in Final Fantasy IV, the Stop spell began inflicting it, and it first performed that effect as part of Time Magic in Final Fantasy V, just as it is in the first two Bravely games, with the Divination skillset in Bravely Default II being a variation on Time Magic.
