Shrink, also known as Pygmize, Pygmized, Minor, or Wimp, is a recurring status aliment in the Mana series.

Effect

This ailment reduces the target's size so that their Attack and Defense attributes drop to either 1 or 0, meaning one well-timed strike against a miniaturized party member could wipe them out while they cannot return fire. Magic, however, may not face a penalty, making this status less of a challenge and more of an annoyance than others. It may clear after some time has passed; or the player can use a Medical Herb to put some meat back on the bones of the shrunken.
