Editing Shrink (status)

{{stub}}
'''Shrink''', also known as '''Pygmize''', '''Pygmized''', '''Minor''', or '''Wimp''', is a recurring status aliment in the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'']] series.

==Effect==
This ailment reduces the target's size so that their Attack and Defense attributes drop to either 1 or 0, meaning one well-timed strike against a miniaturized party member could wipe them out while they cannot return fire. Magic, however, may not face a penalty, making this status less of a challenge and more of an annoyance than others. It may clear after some time has passed; or the player can use a [[Medical Herb]] to put some meat back on the bones of the shrunken.

The '''Shrink''' or '''Koropokkur''' status greatly reduces the party member's size, preventing them from performing [[Class strikes]] or more and 1 damage with their normal attacks. If inflicted on monsters, it transforms them into a [[Selfisher]], greatly reducing their stats and their experience and [[Lucre|lucre]] yield.
