General Information

Monsters, traps and items can inflict various status conditions on Shiren. They inflict and provide various positive and negative effects on Shiren and can make a world of difference when it comes to survival.

	Trap Master		Will allow Shiren to see, pick up, throw, and place traps. Monsters will now be affected by traps which, in turn, triggers an EXP multiplier. This multiplier increases by 1x if the monster trips another trap during it's next turn. This is called "chaining." When Shiren kills a monster with a multiplier, it will be applied to the EXP received. However, monsters directly killed by Shiren with no multiplier only give you 1 experience point each.
Effects Shiren & Monsters
	State	Japanese	Description	Effect on Monsters
Negative Status Effects	Riceball	おにぎり	Prevents the use of items. You lose the bonuses from your equipments so your attack and defense will drop drastically. You can be also instant killed if you step on a Rotten Trap in this form.
		かなしばり
	Immobilized	カゲぬい	You will be unable to move from the spot but will still be able to attack, and use items.
	Kigny	キグニ	You lose control over Shiren as he wanders the floor, attacking any monster or NPC he sees.
	Confused	混乱	When confused, yellow stars appear above your head. If you attempt to move or attack while Confused, you will have no control over the direction it occurs in. However, items such as Staves and Arrows will still shoot in the direction you are facing, so it is possible to continue combat using these items while confused by turning Shiren to face the direction of the enemies.
		鈍足
	Sleepy	眠り	Prevents movement, attacks and the use of Items for a number of turns.
	Sealed	封印	Prevents the use of items and any special abilities.
	Puzzled	まどわし	Monsters and NPCs appear as Girl. The stairs, visible traps, and items lying on the floor appear as flowers. You will be unable to talk to NPCs while puzzled, so treat any unknown Girl as a monster if encountered. This inability to speak to NPCs does not prevent the use of items like the Silenced status.
	Blinded	目つぶし	When blinded, the screen turns black, forcing the player to navigate via the portion of the mini-map already uncovered.
Positive Status Effects	Invisible	透明	Monsters will not attack or follow you.
	Double Speed	倍速	Shiren will be able to move or attack twice per turn e.g. for every movement or attack that a Mamel makes, Shiren will be able to perform two.
	Invincible	無敵	You will not lose HP to attacks for 20 turns.
Effects on Monsters:
	State	Japanese	Description
Negative Status Effects	Deep Sleep	パクスイ状	Immobilize monsters by making them fall into a deep sleep. When they wake, however, their speed will be 1 level faster, so be careful.
