why would it be low? some characters endure death spells because they gained some form of magic resistance to it/gained certain skills that would prevent it in gameplay/plot, sure. i mean i agree that there are ways to get around dying when hit with death spells but if you don't have that, then... when you get hit with a death spell, it's going to suck. SMT seems to like that train of thought. most fiction does too, for that matter.

we don't ever talk about this stuff in mercs because it's literally banned, not because of things not working. quite the opposite, most characters should be suspectible to it, that's why it's broken. yet for Terra in this fight, nothing is. so petrification is fair game, graviga is fair game, and the latter's an AoE that in gameplay wrecks 75% of your HP. in more FMV style, i'd personally see that as the individual being hit with strong gravitational forces that hurt them a lot, greatly slow them down, possibly stun them. which makes them vulnerable to followup moves.
