	'''Command Blocking''' is a very rare ability that only two bosses can use: [[~~PolterArmor\|~~Polter ]] and [[Melbu Frahma]]. At face value it appears to be a superior version of the status ailment Arm-Blocking, even sharing the naming convention of "Blocking." In addition to blocking the Attack command, it can also block the Item or Dragoon command. Even with the Dragoon command blocked, transformation is still possible by using the Special command. Only one command can be blocked at a time, and Command Blocking can overwrite itself to change which command is blocked. This parallels Confusion and Bewitchment, which share almost identical mechanics but one is superior to the other.

	'''Command Blocking''' is a very rare ability that only two bosses ~~in the entire game~~ can use: ~~the~~ [[Polter ~~Helm~~]] and [[Melbu Frahma]]. At face value it appears to be a superior version of the status ailment Arm-Blocking, even sharing the naming convention of "Blocking," ~~as in~~ addition to ~~being able to block~~ the Attack command, it can also block the Item ~~command,~~ or Dragoon command. Only one command can be blocked at a time, and Command Blocking can overwrite itself to change ~~around~~ which command is blocked. This parallels Confusion and Bewitchment, which share almost identical mechanics but one is superior to the other. However, Command Blocking ignores many of the rules that status ailments are set up to follow.

	The effect cannot be prevented by any of the means said to cover all status ailments such as Guarding, being in Dragoon form, or wearing the Rainbow Earring. Even party members already possessing a status ailment such as Fear, will have both that status ailment and a blocked command. Other than its similarities to Arm-Blocking, it can also be cured using a Body Purifier, by having HP reduced to 0, or by the spells: Moon Light, Gates of Heaven, or Rainbow Breath.
