Effects

Graphical effects are visual animations which can be seen on a character, a target or just an empty spot. Effects are often caused by Status Conditions, like getting burned, casting spells like Haste, being attacked and so on. Many Effects appear after a spell is cast or a weapon is thrown, immediately after the corresponding Missile.
