Provoke

Provoke is a status effect that instantly moves the affected unit to the front row of its party and fixes its attention on the inflicting unit, preventing the afflicted unit from moving, and preventing it from targeting any other unit unless the inflicting unit is untargetable. Area techniques may still be used by the affected unit, but if they are, they must target only the inflicting unit, with the remaining potency of the technique wasted. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to its intensity.

What it Represents
Provoke usually represents "taunting" effects in games which manipulate an opponent's attention, causing them to focus on a target that they might otherwise choose to ignore.
