Health & Stamina
▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Note: Subforums may refer to stamina as Mana, Magick, Energy, etc. However, it is tracked as Stamina regardless of story reference. — LOSING HP — Typically happens in battle or the result of an event failure. You can choose to create special skills which consume HP.
— REGENERATING HP — To regenerate HP, your character can consume an item or rest. Resting takes up all action slots and regenerates 25% of your HP and SP.
— NEGATIVE HP — Your character is dead. Don't want your character to be dead? Quote the captain with your character's last breaths for a special resurrection quest.
— LOSING SP — Every action, except resting, results in a loss of SP. Do your part to track it accurately.
— REGENERATING SP — To regenerate SP, your character can consume an item or rest. Resting takes up one action slot and regenerates 25% of your HP and SP.
— NEGATIVE SP — You can not have negative SP. If an action requires 5 stamina and you only possess 2, you can not perform the action. It is considered an auto-fail.

Elements
▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Note: Names of elements do not change between subforums or stories. — Fire — Fire Element is strong against Ice but weak to Water. Lava, molten and anything having to do with high thermal energy falls under the category of fire. Skills using the fire element can cause the ailment "Fireblight," which slowly depletes Health and can not be recovered through standard "rest," but must be treated.
— Water — Water Element is strong against Fire but weak to Thunder. Skills which deal water damage can cause Waterblight, which slows Stamina recovery skills by 50% including standard "rest," until treated.
— Cold — The Ice Element is strong against Shock and Void, but weak to Fire. Snow, ice and anything having to do with low thermal energy falls under the category of Cold. Taking Cold damage can cause Iceblight which doubles the cost of any skill's stamina use.
— Shock — Shock Element is strong against Water and Void, but weak to Cold. Taking shock damage can cause shockblight, which can accumulate into partial paralysis forcing a character to lose an action slot.
— Void — Void Element is different from other elements. Its the only element in the game weak to itself. Taking Void damage can cause Voidblight, which lowers skill potency by half.

— SLEEP — Sleep causes the target to become drowsy, quickly succumbing to sleep right where they stand. Sleep has a Post Count Down for duration and potency rank. Standard rest regeneration still applies when put to sleep. It can be cured with any action skill with the same potency rank that physically interacts with the target.
— BLEED — Bleeding causes the target to lose health only when performing actions, even rest.. It has a potency rank and AS Count Down for duration. It can be cured with a medicinal item or healing skill with the same potency rank.

Example: If a blade is coated with poison, the potency of the poison is listed with the item. The potency is not determined by the blade's attack. Same goes for medicinal healing or remedy. If an item is used to cure poison, the potency of the item must match or beat the poison's rank to be effective.
