Status Effects And You
What is a Status Effect and how does it affect you?
A Status Effect in the broad and general term known by adventurers and magic casters far and wide is the collective understanding across the various worlds in the Empire Status Effects are the change in one's body due to the influence of magical power. As magic power is infused with the chosen effect, just like how spells are created with a chosen element, it has a % chance to inflict the Status Effect on a target while dealing some form of damage. As magic is a ubiquitous power and is always being changed and manipulated, when a Status Effect or Status Ailment is inflicted on a target the target's magical power can reduce or even negate the effects.
A spell which inflicts Burn on a target will cause them to take Burn damage and become engulfed in flames at times. This example shows that no matter who or what casts the spell what the spell does remains the same with the target either resisting the intended damage and effects or boosting it in a way which is unintended.
How Does Magic Work?
The basic operation and understanding of magic comes from a more hands-on magical study that many people record in their own personal records known to the non magical community as a Grimoire. A grimoire is a book or textbook of magic which contains instructions for spells, rituals, and the creation of magical objects. It can also include information on divination, summoning supernatural entities, and various magical systems which are more personalized due to the user creating it through their own research and discovery. To the general understanding magic is a means to an end, a tool to be used, or a boon gifted to the chosen ones.
What are Status Effects really?
A Status Effect as researched by the Astarian Empire is a change in the chemical makeup of the body which will cause small catastrophic events to alter the body when under the effects of outside magical power. As the biological chemicals in the body are in perfect balance, the person remains in their normal balanced body and is not affected by any extra outside circumstances. As the microscopic magic particles get absorbed into the skin and lungs they infect and affect the chemical balance within the body causing minor issues to arise. Most of which are just temporary as the body repairs and restores itself quickly and naturally while some can have long lasting effects. The spells which inflict long lasting effects on the body as it greatly alters the chemical makeup, block pathways, and stunt chemical and vitamin growth in the body can be either positive or negative in nature. As magic is the combined concept of belief and power of the universe, it can become what the caster believes to be true in the sense of the universe with the tool of magic inflicting the desired effects. As magic knowledge and understanding grows in the community of those who practice magic, the scientific understanding of the magic dissipates and is known only to those who seek the knowledge and is still accessible to all but almost no one studies it.
What are Status Effects?
Through research and discovery Status Effects are the collective understanding and knowledge of the magic spanning across the universe as it enters the body using magic power as it changes the chemical makeup and balance causing the Status Effect to occur. Multiple particles of magic can influence the body and cause different things to occur whether they are positive in nature mainly called a Buff, or negative in nature mainly called a Debuff or Status Ailment. Because this is a very broad concept, Status Effects cover a wide variety of grounds, but they can generally be classified into the two groups of Buffs and Debuffs.
Buffs or Status Buffs:
Buffs or Status Buffs are primarily positive effects which will modify and enhance a character's statistics, status, skills, abilities, and strengths. Almost all adventurers know some form of Buff to aid and assist either themselves or others in combative situations. Most of the time the spells which inflict Buffs or Status Buffs onto a target last a short amount of time due to how the body processes and handles the influence of magical power.
Debuffs or Status Ailments:
Debuffs or Status Ailments are primarily negative effects which modify and reduce a character’s statistics, status, skills, and abilities. It will also strengthen their weakness to the desired magical elements and effects as Debuffs or Status Ailments become more frequent and debilitating. This includes things like damage over time effects or DoT’s like if a target is Poisoned or Ill. Due to the magically inflicted nature of these Debuffs and Status Ailments, they have their own remedies and cures to remove them quickly if the body doesn’t have the proper amount of time to cure and remove them naturally.
The list of Status Effects is long as the Empire has discovered a huge assortment of them and they have all been documented and recorded. Although many of them may operate in the same manner and are interchangeable as similar worlds will have different effects, like a world might have Cold and not Frost, they all fundamentally operate the same way.
The 9 Stats:
The 9 Stats every thing uses can be defined in a small yet effective manner which are manipulated by the Status Effects listed below, the 9 Stats are:
STR - Strength: Strength measures Athletics, Physical Damage, and raw Strength. This is used with Endurance to do things like lift objects or use weapons. When moving while lifting, you will need to use your Dexterity as it affects your agility and movement while lifting.
DEX - Dexterity: Dexterity measures Agility, Reflexes, Poise, Balance and Movement. This is used with Strength and Endurance to perform tasks and basic functions like carrying armor for long periods of time or by lifting and moving boxes.
END - Endurance: Endurance measures Stamina, Resistances, and the overall length of time you can do something. Objectively it is the most important stat to enhance and improve as it affects all things and actions in the body. Endurance is used to change the effects on the body by changing their potency and length of time. The higher the Endurance stat the shorter and less potent negative effects are while the positive effects are enhanced and last longer.
VIT - Vitality: Vitality is the measurement of Health, Health Points, Maximum Health, and Maximum Health Points. It is the measurement of how healthy a person is as it is influenced by all manner of things from the food and drink consumed, to the effects of spells and items. If a target's Vitality is reduced to 0 they will die, if their Health Points are reduced to 0 they will be knocked unconscious and will begin to take Vitality damage.
CON - Constitution: Constitution measures Health, Fortitude, and Resistances to all things. As one may be inflicted with something like Poison, the Constitution is used to survive and reduce the Poisoning effects and damages. As Endurance is a very important stat for all manner of movement and tasks, Constitution is the most important as it also affects not just the physical aspects of the body but also the Energy Levels and Mental Prowess of the target.
INT - General Knowledge: General Knowledge or Intelligence measures the General Knowledge of the world and how the person understands and comprehends the greater world around them. Once may have a low General Knowledge of the world they are just visiting while others who are born on the world may have a very high knowledge score. While this doesn’t affect any form of combat, it can be used to identify story telling elements or citations which arise as people who score low may be from a different area or place.
WIS - Wisdom: Wisdom measures all forms of Magics Awareness, Intuition, and Insight into one’s surroundings. As they are a well of untapped knowledge due to their long studies and research into various things, one may have a high level of Wisdom and are seen as the most knowledgeable about some things. As the Empire has seen many generals will heed the advice of the young recruits due to the changing of information and unique perspective they have, to many people have been burned by the fires not of ambition but of misplaced confidence in their own knowledge and understanding.
MAG - Magicka: Magic or Magicka measures the Magic, Magic Power, Magic Points or Mana, and the overall Magical Damage inflicted by their spells. This is the accumulation of not just the years of study, practice, knowledge, and usage but also incorporates things like the potency of one’s magic and their magical energy regeneration.
CHA - Charisma: Charisma measures Confidence, Eloquence, Leadership and represents a character's perceived power and warmth. As Charisma is a personal quality, it can be enhanced and studied for the benefit of the user. This makes them more attractive, inspiring, and influential to others as it is described as an allure, magnetic charm, or appeal that draws people in and inspires loyalty. This is mainly used in the influence of others and skills and spells which have a focus on control will use the casters Charisma as a bonus to be more alluring.

Special Auras:
Aura Of Brilliance: Arcane magic is gathered on the target, like them to the caster allowing for the casters magic to flow into the target. It increases combat effectiveness by allowing higher level magic spells to be casted at a reduced magic cost until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Commanding: Arcane magic is gathered on the target, increasing combat effectiveness by allowing Arcane magic to flow through them, it empowers their skills and abilities while dulling their senses of individuality and replacing them with uniformity. This allows for them to fight freely while following orders and getting the buff to their skills and abilities until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Devotion: Holy magic is gathered on the target, increasing combat effectiveness by allowing Holy magic to flow through them. The faith of those connected to the caster allows their magic power and energy to flow slowly into the caster boosting the casters magic energy and power. As they slowly grow weaker under the Aura Of Devotion they will be given a slowly growing boost in combat power and vigor until they are right on the edge of collapse until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Divinity: Holy magic is gathered on the target, increasing combat effectiveness by allowing Holy magic to flow through them. This invigorates them allowing them to gain large immunities to negative mental and mind altering effects. This also greatly reduces penalties to Holy and Light Resistances while reducing Dark magic, damage, abilities, and effects to all targets under the Aura Of Devotion until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Endurance: Wind magic flows through the target allowing them to move faster, jump higher, fall slower, and perform actions quicker. Targets will reduce movement debilitating effects and slows better and have a faster stamina recovery time while under the effects of the Aura Of Endurance until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Fear: Dark magic power flows into the target causing them to flee and run away in terror. They will scatter like bugs to a flame when encountering an Aura Of Fear. The higher the difference in power between the caster and targets will cause the targets to flee faster and run further away from the caster. If used on a target who is far stronger than the caster it becomes nullified. The effects of the Aura Of Fear will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Intimidation: Wind magic power flows into the target surrounding their joints causing them to move and recover slower when they come into contact with the caster. The higher the difference in power between the caster and targets will cause the targets to take even greater movement and slow debuffs. If used on a target who is far stronger than the caster it becomes nullified. The effects of the Aura Of Intimidation will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Soul Harvesting: Dark magics enter into the targets around the caster, if they are weak or near death their soul will be consumed and their power added to the caster. If they are full of life and vitality they will slowly begin to lose their strength as it is funneled into the caster until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Thorns: Earth magics empower the target with a thick shell of small spikes which deals a % of melee damage received back onto those who attack the targets under the Aura Spells effect. Used primarily in melee combat, the Aura Of Thorns will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell. [Arcane] [Support] [Aura]
Aura Of Trueshot: Wind magics empower the target with a thick shell of small wind bubbles which deals a % of ranged damage received back onto those who attack the targets under the Aura Spells effect. Used primarily in ranged combat versus spell casters and rangers, the effects of the Aura Of Trueshot will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Combat Return: Lightning magics empower the target with a thin small shell of Lightning balls which deals a % of damage received back onto those who attack the targets under the Aura Spells effect as pure Lightning Damage, it deals low damage and has a low chance to inflict the Stun and Shocked status effects. All damage returned to the attacking party will have a small chance to jump to other nearby targets. The effects of the Aura Of Combat Return will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of War: Arcane magic enters into the target's body invoking rage and causing the target to go Berserk. They will begin to lose their sense of intelligence and rationale as they begin to show more primal powers. They will see all enemies of the caster as targets and will use their Berserking power bonus to great effect as they tear through the caster's enemies. The effects of the Aura Of War will last until the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
Aura Of Unholy Power: Dark magic enters the target and is permanent. It is an extremely slow process as it increases the power of the target greatly. As the % enters into the highest level the high and need from the increased power comes at a great cost. With their thirst for power growing they begin to use the Dark power inside them that has been growing. They begin to turn into a Demon with the more power they use. The Demonic Power starts slow as it begins to show markings, eye colors, horns, hooves, or other aspects of the Demon of Sin matching their personality and actions. After hitting the peak of their power and fully transforming, they become a full Demon of Sin and are free to do what they wish. The effects of the Aura Of Unholy Power are slow to progress with a huge boost in power but will be a permanent change to the target.
Aura Of Vampiric Assault: Dark magic enters the target causing them to become extremely powerful and violent in nature. They gain enhanced eyesight, smell, movement speed, and raw physical power. They begin to take damage slowly as their need and thirst for the blood of battle ensues. As they deal damage to the enemy they will gain blood and life as a % back, which will keep them in a sustaining equilibrium. As they are under the effects of the Aura Spell, their physical power increases rapidly as does their need for blood and power with the increase to life lost. They become a terrifying force to be reckoned with while under the Aura Of Vampiric Assault and it will last for a little while even if the target is out of range of the Aura Spell.
B
Berserk / Anger / Rage:
The Berserk Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that affects the mind and targeting in a permanent way. It can be called Anger and Rage on various worlds as it boosts the raw emotion of aggression in a target. When under the Berserk Effect, the target enters into a state of tunnel vision as the target can only focus their vision on a single target at one time. They will attack the focused target with enhanced combat stats as they deal much more damage but lose their own rational and mental capabilities in the process. The Berserk Effect increases + STR by 2x while reducing - INT by 2x and can be removed by magical means or if the target is calmed down and becomes more rational.
Bleed:
The Bleed Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which causes the body to bleed from wounds which are inflicted on or inside the body. This not only causes damage and reduces the target's Health Points but it also reduces CON and END by 1 per tick. The damage inflicted by the Bleed Effect is calculated by the casters Magical Power + Elemental Damage. This can all be reduced by things like resistances, armor, or magic but the Bleed Effect will still last until removed or healed.
Blessings:
The Blessing Effect is a Buff or Status Buff that is a temporary effect which increases the target's power levels as it is a more advanced version of the Aspect Effect.

A shrine which gives a Blessing Of Arcane can be given to anyone who visits and prays to it.

Break:
The Break Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes the target’s armor value to be broken and nullified. They receive the full damage from all attacks and spells which can make for an instant death situation. Building up the target’s Break Limit allows you to break their limits, stunning them and opening them up to increased damage. Although this is more of a combat state, there are some who can inflict this state with ease. Throughout the Empire there are powerful magic casters who use Words Of Power, their spoken words are influenced with so much magical power it will break unaware targets and make them yield their every command. The Break Limit can be influenced by different things like environmental situations, stat changes, and resistances while it grows or shrinks as things progress. This status is a powerful one to not only get but to apply to a target, normally this requires intense training and skill to accomplish.
Burn:
The Burn Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes intense heat to a target or area increasing the damage they receive from all Fire based damage.

-
The Burn Effect deals up to 25% damage per tick over a short amount of time and reduces the Fire Resistance of the target to 0.
-
The Burn Effect deals 5% damage per tick over a long period of time and reduces the Fire Resistance of the target to 0 while also boosting all Fire Damage received by 50%.
C
Charm:
The Charm Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes the target to join your cause as their mind is influenced. The caster becomes the most alluring, charismatic, and fun person to be around in the whole wide world. This is used inside and outside of combat to great degrees of effectiveness as even a small conversation can possibly persuade an entire kingdom. Although magic power may boost the effectiveness of the Charm Effect, things like mind resistances, charisma, and other factors can reduce the effectiveness of the Charm Effect.
Empire’s Note on Charm: When casting a spell which has the Charm Effect attached to it, if it is rebounded, bounced, or casted on the caster the charm spell works without fail. This is due to the power being sent out then returned, the body doesn’t resist it like it normally would then you will charm yourself. Just punch the person to break them out of the effect, or cure them but that isn’t very fun or interesting.
Cold:
The Cold Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a conditional effect which causes the body to become slower as the temperature drops. The longer one is in the cold environment and under the Cold Effect the more your Movement, Movement Speed, and DEX stats drop. When under the Cold Effect you take more damage from both Water and Ice damage and the Frozen Status Effect becomes more likely. The Cold Effect can be applied as an environmental effect as well as a combat effect as it affects the target at all times in all situations when in a cold environment. When under the Cold Effect you have a higher chance to be hit with the Wet Effect and Uncomfortable Effect and the buildup of the Sick Effect will begin which will inflict the Sick Effect on the Target.
Confusion / Dizzy:
The Confusion Effect or Dizzy Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes the target to still use their skills and abilities but they will use them on random people as they are under the Confusion Effect or Dizzy Effect. Magic power will influence the rate that the effect works while the target’s magic power will help reduce the duration or effects of the Confusion Effect or Dizzy Effect.
Empire’s Note on Confusion or Dizzy: When casting a spell which has the Confusion Effect or Dizzy Effect attached to it, if it is rebounded, bounced, or casted on the caster the confusion or dizzy spell works without fail. This is due to the power being sent out then returned, the body doesn’t resist it like it normally would then you will confuse or dizzy yourself..
Curse:
The Curse Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which houses many different types of curses within it. In a general sense the Curse Effect reduces all stats of the target as well as it stops the target from using special or unique abilities while under the Curse Effect. Although the Empire classifies the Curse Effect as a single Status Effect since it is super easy for them to cure and remove, most other adventurers and smaller worlds will see them as a very large thing as there are multiple curses that can be inflicted as each one can cause problems. The list of Curse Effects is long and will be shown in the list below.
Curse Of Arcane: -100% Arcane Resistance until the Curse is Removed.
Curse Of Corrosion: -100% Corrosion Resistance until the Curse is Removed.
Curse Of Dark: -100% Dark Resistance until the Curse is Removed.

Darkness / Blind:
The Darkness Effect or Blind Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes blindness in the eyes and vision center. This doesn’t affect any extra sight boosting or enhancements a target may have. They will receive a reduced chance to use any form of action and a reduced penalty when performing anything that requires athletics, sight, or dexterity. This is easily cured and can be more of an annoyance than a problem. The Empire has observed that the magic casters who cast spells with the Darkness Effect or Blind Effect tend to focus more of the power into the damaging aspect of the spell and not the effect itself. The Empire uses the Darkness Effect or Blind Effect in a way that is permanent on their targets as it may deal no damage but it can’t be easily removed or cured. It becomes a pseudo curse-like spell in that regard.
Death:
The Death Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which causes Death. Many different spells or skills may inflict this Status Effect with a low chance however the Death Effect like its name suggests will immediately kill the target inflicted with it.
Decay:
The Decay Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which causes rapid aging and destruction of the target. This can be used on objects and people alike as it will deal a huge amount of damage in a slow then quick period of time. Although the damage is slow then explodes into a rapid rate of decay, it is an easy to remove Status Effect but the damage inflicted lasts. The Decay Effect reduces all maximum stats by 1 then+1x per tick with the new value caring over which will start slow then immediately kill a target in moments. This includes but is not limited to all 9 main stats as well as all stats which affect health, magic, mana, stamina, and regenerations.
Tick 1: 1+1x=1
Tick 2: 2+2x=4
Tick 3: 4+3x=12
Ect. Ect. Ect.
Disease:
The Disease Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which causes a strong level of permanent sickness which becomes even harder to remove as it saps the life from the target over a long period of time. The Disease Effect is a very strong one as it needs a miracle or magic power surpassing the strength of a hero to cure and remove. Although some of the strongest healing medicines can be made from special materials as medication or potions to cure more serious Diseases, the Disease Effect is a hard to remove Status Effect. The worse the Disease Effect is, the more illness it will spread.
Doom:
The Doom Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes all resistances reduced by -25% as it slowly reduces maximum HP by 10% over time to a minimum of 10%. Even when revived Max Health Points remains at the reduced value with a minimum of 10%. The Doom Effect is a powerful high costing Status Effect which will bring about the Doom of a person. The Empire has observed the Doom Effect to have different flavors or versions on various worlds as its effect remains the same and the power is unrelenting. It is easy to remove but devastating to have placed on you.
E
Embrace:
The Embrace Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which houses many different types of curse-like Status Effects within it.

Many things can cause someone to enter the Fear Effect state but a personal traumatic effect will not send someone running like a fearsome roar from a large creature.

The Frost Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a conditional effect which causes the body to become slower as the temperature drops and the lingering frost begins to set in.

When under the Frost Effect you take more damage from both Water and Ice damage and the Frozen Status Effect becomes more likely.

When under the Frost Effect you have a higher chance to be hit with the Cold Effect, Wet Effect, and Uncomfortable Effect and the buildup of the Sick Effect will begin which will inflict the Sick Effect on the Target.
Frozen:
The Frozen Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a Permanent effect which causes the target to be fully encased in thick Ice.

In the event of the target using a spell or skill like a Quick attack the Haste Effect is slowly applied and makes the target go faster and faster with each consecutive use of the attack.

The strongest of armors can reduce the incoming damage but the Break Effect builds up more quickly.

S

Sick / Ill:
The Sick Effect or Ill Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a permanent effect which causes a reduction in stats while also making the target take 25% more damage from all sources.

The Shock Effect reduces all 9 main stats by 1 per 3rd tick over a long period of time.

Stun:
The Stun Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes the target to be immobile for a short period of time.

It can be cured as well as removed early.
T
Terror:
The Terror Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a temporary effect which causes the target to freeze and stops them from moving. The Terror Effect requires more magic power than the Fear Effect but it prevents them from moving for a short time. This allows the enemies to close the gap and get a free attack that ignores bonuses and armor. If under the Terror Effect, the higher the magic power and resistance means for faster recovery times.
U
Uncomfortable:
The Uncomfortable Effect is a Debuff or Status Ailment that is a conditional effect which causes the target to have -10% to every stat as well as all current and maximum Health Points, Health Regeneration, Mana Points, Mana Regeneration, Magic Points, Magic Regeneration, Stamina Points, and Stamina Regeneration. This is a Status Effect which can arise in any kind of situation whether it be social, environmental, or unnatural as it makes the target extremely uncomfortable. This can take the form of physical or behavioral signs and will appear in most races within the galaxy at large. When someone is uncomfortable, they often display a combination of physical and or behavioral signs, which can include both subtle cues and more overt expressions. Physical signs include crossing the arms and legs, physically distancing yourself from others, fidgeting or tensing the body, or gestures that include touching your face, hands, nails or being overall restless. Behavioral signs include avoiding eye contact, looking away, short answers, talking unnaturally either fast or in a different vocal que, slow or more frequent pauses, laughing or coughing due to nervousness, trying to find excuses to leave the situation or solve the problem.
Empire’s Notes: Although a target may be under the Uncomfortable Effect and are acting in a way befitting of the name, they will be slightly worse at all things they do until they remove the problem, issues, or Status Effect from them to resolve their current problems.
