===Synergies=== | |||
Some spells that inflict a status condition offer a special feature called a 'synergy' which is triggered if and when some new condition overwrites the existing condition on the target creature before the condition wears off or is resisted by the monster. If this occurs, the synergy's effect is triggered, usually in the form of bonus damage, though the exact effects are described in the spell entry. Synergies can generally be triggered by any condition at all, even weak conditions, such as dazzled, making teamwork attacks that are designed to make use of these synergies quite effective, if players (or monsters) can pull off the timing correctly. If a synergy requires some specific severity of condition (i.e. moderate or strong), it will say so in its description. | |||
===Arcane or Divine Charge=== | |||
Many spells which have a duration other than instantaneous will lay either an Arcane or Divine charge, depending on the character class of the caster. Divine casters lay divine charges, while arcane casters lay arcane charges. If the targets are something other than the caster or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane or divine charge on the caster. Targets which already have an arcane or divine charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge and one divine charge can ever be present on a target at a time. | |||
===Dual Charges=== | |||
Some of the more powerful spells lay a 'dual charge'. If the targets are something other than the caster or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell instead lays a dual charge on the caster. Targets which already have a dual charge, a divine charge, or an arcane charge, may choose only one of these effects to keep. Dual charges are treated as both an arcane and a divine charge, and a creature may only ever have a single arcane charge and divine charge present on them at a time. | |||
