• Burns: This is caused by a fire-based weapon or a spell. When it reaches the maximum threshold on you or an opponent, the target will take damage over time. The way to cure this is with a Water-based positive effect or by rolling in combat.
• Chill: This is caused by an ice-based weapon or spell. When you fully charge this against an opponent, or a foe does to you, it reduces your Stone resistance and increases how long it takes for your Spirit recovery gauge to charge after using Spirit-heavy attacks. You can cure this with a positive Earth-based positive effect.
• Heaviness: This is caused by a stone-based weapon or spell. When the gauge reaches full against you or an opponent, the target will have decreased Lightning resistance. They take increased Spirit damage while also decreasing the amount of Spirit received when attacking or defending. You can cure this with a Wood Phase positive effect.
• Poison: This is caused by a toxin-based weapon or spell. When the gauge becomes full, this reduces the Flame resistance and gradually reduces the target’s Health and Spirit. This can be cured with a Fire Phase positive effect.
• Shock: This is caused by a lightning-based weapon or spell. When the gauge becomes full, it reduces Toxin resistance and gradually reduces Spirit gain. This can be cured with a Metal Positive effect.
