Abilities that spend CT?

I was wondering if it would be possible for unit to have a negative value for CT... If abilities could be made to set back a unit CT so it took longer for their next turn to come around.  Would it require a bunch of ASM?

Negative CT would mean overflow (so you'd get another turn).  The only way to fix this is to make the game use another byte for CT or do really weird things to the way signed numbers are read (it's either that, or capping max SPD at 25 and using normal signed one-byte numbers).
The destruction of the will is the rape of the mind.
The dogmas of every era are nothing but the fantasies of those in power; their dreams are our waking nightmares.

also, 254 (-2) CT gives the unit quick

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

So sounds pretty difficult / impossible to implement... Thanks for help anyways!

How about when you use a certain Item it will cast SLOW on your self, thus giving you a kind-of negative CT.
