Editing Status ailments

'''Status ailments''', also known as '''Status effects''', '''Status conditions''', '''Physical Effects''', and '''Status Crisis''' are recurring gameplay elements in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. They temporarily modify the status of player characters and enemies by either adding a positive or a negative effect. Some status aliments wear off by themselves while others need a curative item to be removed. Most status conditions can be removed by staying at an [[Inn]].

'''Status crisis''' or '''Condition''' can be monitored in the status screen. Only the [[Sumo|Hero]] can be struck with status crises. There are five types of conditons in the game. In both games, a small text window will display the current status crisis other than ''Good'' if Sumo is hit with one. ''Frozen'' condition is only known to appear in ''Adventures of Mana''.

'''Status effects''' temporarily add a negative effect to a party member. In the 2D version, when a party member or an enemy is inflicted with a status effect, a text window will briefly display the aforementioned status (example: ''Poisoned!''). The 3D remake instead adds an icon corresponding to the status next to the character portrait. The [[Burning (status)|Burn]] is unique to the [[Trials of Mana (remake)|HD remake]].
