Effect[]
Zan deals light Force damage to one foe. It is the basic Force skill, and in most titles, solely a damage dealing skill with no added effects.
In Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse, a party member hit by the Zan skill has a 1% chance of being blown away and becoming Lost. Lost status removes the demon from the party and summoning stock until they are found in another demon encounter.
In Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army, Zan launches a ball of wind that deals light Force damage to a single target. Targets weak to Force skills will be inflicted with the Impede status.
In the Persona 2 duology, Zan is an Almighty skill.
