25th & 10th Anniversary Challenge

(2) I made TekLaser steal HP because of changes to the opening and the magitek menu: Terra is the only one who knows Heal Force and neither of the Gesthalian soldiers had any self-healing, so I set TekLaser up as a Drain with the Revenge spell flag.  The spell Drain works in the same way; it does more and more damage the more health is missing.  It's my hope that players would be wowed by this power, and then stunned when it's used against them during the drop to the Floating Continent.  To be fair, TekLaser doesn't do any damage if the enemy is at full health (encouraging the defeat of one enemy at a time) and it is susceptible to Runic (encouraging the use of Celes on the Floating Continent, which has more plot implications).

My hack has lots of ways to cheese fights anyway, so I don't think it's wildly unfair.

This sounds like a very complex solution for a very simple problem (Gesthalian soldiers do not have self-healing). In a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, where enemies and players have the same amount of HP, something like this would work. However, in FF6, where enemies have 2-10x the HP of players, all this does is cause cheap, unavoidable deaths if the gods of RNG hate you. I'd recommend using the flag for Demi/Quartr/W Wind instead, and set it to drain.
