Status Abnormalities

Status abnormalities can influence or change the gameplay and function of characters in battle. Some do damage, restrict battle options, or just crush all hope. Fortunately, status abnormalities recover after each battle. Otherwise there is special healing magic and items to cure them.

Deadly Poison		Increased damage to the afflicted, usually after getting poisoned previously
