Electromag in Final Fantasy VII.
Reverse Polarity (磁場転換, Jiba Tenkan?), also known as R. Polarity, Magnet, or Electromag, is a recurring enemy ability. Its main use is to change the party's battle formation by moving either one or all characters to the back row, depending on the game. It deals no damage, and is otherwise a minor nuisance to contend with.

Etymology[]
Reverse polarity is the opposite of normal polarity. Normal polarity in electronics is to have the positive hooked up to the positive terminal, and the negative to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity would be having the positive hooked up to the negative terminal, and the negative to the positive terminal. The same concept can be used with magnets.
A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, and attracts or repels other magnets.
Electromag is short for electromagnet, a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.
