Banish

Banish is a status effect that removes the affected unit from the battlefield completely, preventing them from acting or being harmed in any way. A Banished unit is considered temporarily nonexistent in almost every way: This effect lasts a number of rounds equal to its intensity, and after Banish wears off, a unit is immune to Banish for 3 rounds. The durations of other status effects on a Banished unit still tick down at the end of each of its party's turns as normal.
 * They cannot act or move between rows.
 * They cannot be targeted by any techniques.
 * They cannot gain or lose any vitals.
 * They cannot be used to block units in the back row of a party even if they are in the front row of that party.

What it Represents
Banish usually represents spells which temporarily imprison a target in a dimensional pocket, effectively removing them from a battle. It can also represent other forms of imprisonment that also protect their captive, such as encasing a unit in ice or stone.
