The following is a list of statuses from Vagrant Story. Status changes indirectly affect Ashley's performance in and out of (but mainly in) battle. They can strengthen or weaken his abilities, cause damage, or otherwise hurt or help him. Some can be very advantageous, whereas others should be cured at all costs. They are usually induced by magic, rarely by traps and Chain Abilities. The Magic section will tell you which spells cause and cure which status changes.
