What are State Definitions†
A "state" can be granted to a terrain or skill, which, during the game, changes the cast's abilities or behavior.
You can create a "poison swamp" by giving the terrain a poisonous state, or if you give it to a skill, you can create "paralyzing attack magic" or "magic that increases the attack power of allies".
This section specifies the effects of the various states on the ability and the conditions under which they are released.

- Copy
Copy the data in the selected state.

Basic Settings†
Specify basic information such as the probability of changing to a "state" and the conditions under which the "state" ability is removed.
- Success Rate
Specify the probability that the cast will actually change to this state when the conditions for this change are met.
For example, if an attack is made with a weapon that has "sleep" as an attack attribute, and the attack hits the opponent, this success rate is referenced when determining whether the opponent is actually going to "sleep".

If turned on, a cast member who becomes in this state during a battle will automatically move to the end of the party member lineup.
This feature is enabled when Game Definition > Rules and Operations>"Rearrange by State During Battle" is on.

State Abilities†

The Add button opens the "Ability Selector Dialog".
Selecting an ability closes a dialog that allows you to specify the parameters of the ability (e.g., the amount of damage for automatic damage).

It is an ability that automatically causes damage to be incurred for each Consumption Status consumed in each assigned turn during battle.
The status name in parentheses () indicates the consumption value for which the ability is targeted.
The damage value can be set as "direct value", "rate of consumption value to the current value" or "rate of consumption value to the maximum value".
A negative value in the damage value will result in the ability to automatically recover the consumption value.
- Auto Damage (On Maps:(HP))
It is the ability to automatically cause damage to the Consumption Status consumption value every assigned number of seconds on the map.
The status name in parentheses () indicates the consumption value for which the ability is targeted.

A negative value in the damage value will result in the ability to automatically recover the consumption value.
- Force Granting Below a Certain Value
The ability to force a cast to enter this "state" when the consumption value of an assigned consumption status is less than a specified rate of its maximum value.
For an ability, you can specify the consumption value at which the ability is judged to be triggered and the threshold at which it is triggered when the consumption value falls below a certain rate.
- State Disabling
The cast member receiving this ability will not change to the assigned "state".
For example, if the "State Disabling (Poison)" ability is enabled, the cast will not be "poisoned".
- Ability Enhancement
It is the ability to change the value of each status.
The range of change can be specified as a direct value or as a rate.
Values can be specified between -999999 and 999999.
If assigned as a rate, the current ability value will be changed by multiplying the current ability value by the rate (%).
Ex. If the rate is 50, the current ability value will be increased by 50% multiplied by the current ability value.
This ability, like the item, is valid not only in battle, but also on maps.
There is a limit to the final status value that considers the increase or decrease value due to abilities.
Please check the Growth Factors section.
Ex. The status of the keyword "mhp" (default name is "Max HP") cannot be less than 1.
