Deterioration
| Rank | Effect | Flavor |
| 1 | Periodic temporary stat loss. | Your body is slowly deteriorating. |
| 2 | More frequent temporary stat loss. | Your body is deteriorating. |
| 3 | Most frequent temporary stat loss. | Your body is rapidly deteriorating. |
|
A ring of sustain abilities will negate this. Natural recovery from stat loss tends to keep rank 1 in check, though not always. Left unchecked, ranks 2 and 3 will leave you extremely handicapped, and will eventually result in stat zero. | ||
