Status Ailments

Status ailments can alter a character's (or enemy's) status. They are inflicted by spells, special attacks, or even some items. Most effects are generally negative, but there are a few beneficial ones.

The following pair of tables lists and describes the beneficial and the negetive status ailments.

Remember, in trance mode, all status ailments are nullified, with the exception of Petrify, Zombie and Virus. Also remember that only Eiko can cast Dispel.
