Eliminates opponent from battleDescription
Remove is an indirect magic spell in Final Fantasy VII. It is granted by the Exit Materia at level two. When cast on an enemy, it will remove them from the battle, and no EXP, AP, gil, or items will be received from them. When cast on the party, it will instantly kill the party members hit, which will result in a Game Over if all party members get hit.

Use
Remove can be cast by characters with the Exit Materia at level 2. It will remove all enemies from battle, barring Instant Death immunity. The spell cannot be reflected. It has an extremely high MP cost of 99, and as no rewards are given, it should be used sparingly.
It can be useful during Chocobo battles as it removes the legitimate enemies and leaves the Chocobo behind, allowing the player to capture it in one turn. It can also be used effectively with the Support Materia Sneak Attack, causing it to be cast on enemies before they can do any damage.
In contrast to Death attacks, Remove has a superior success rate and targets all enemies by default, but also a much higher MP cost. Death, unlike Remove, provides rewards if successful.
Enemies will not use Remove, but Death Dealer uses Hidden One that has the same animation and will inflict instant death on the target.
