I recently read that if Celes or Gogo uses Runic and absorbs the Vanish spell, they will disappear for about two seconds using the same Vanish "wipe" effect which happens twice, but it shouldn't happen at all because they don't gain the Vanish status. The reason for this is because Vanish's animation script sets the Vanish bit for the absorbing character's sprite and then refreshes the sprite, thus triggering the wipe effect, but the game also repeatedly updates sprites based on their current status, so the sprite reappears immediately. This patch simply removes the wipe effect from the animation script, thus leaving all Vanish-related updates to the status check.

After tons of scrutiny, I found a way to port this patch to GBA. This is exhausting work, so I think I'll take that well-deserved break, because I have other stuff I need to do. I'll try and port as many of the others as I can eventually, but not for a while.
