Weakness

Description
Weakness is a harmful status effect that reduces overall power until it wears off or is removed. Afflicted characters have their hit point and magic point pool reduced significantly (to about 25%), and recast timers are doubled for the duration of the effect.

How to remove the effect

 * There is no way to remove this effect other than waiting for it to end (5 minutes exactly), or dying again and returning to your Home Point.
 * Suggestion for regaining your strength as quickly as possible. If, when you are Raised, you immediately heal, the game will begin to count your healing tics just as it would if you were resting normally.  Continue to heal even if someone has healed you to full HP; when your five minutes is up, your now-max HP and MP will regenerate at an incredibly fast rate, as your healing tics will be in high numbers due to the fact that you were resting.  Take advantage of this function and do not stand while weakened.
 * However, Weakness from being raised does not reduce TP. In some situations it may be preferable to remain standing to prevent TP lost while healing.
 * A player who has the 60 minute lasting weakend effect you can remove it by dying and getting raised, receiving the regular weakness effect lasting 5 minutes or die and homepoint.

Second death penalty and up

 * A player who is KO'd, revived, then while still in a weakened state KO'd again will now, since june 19 2005, after a second reviving, temporarily experience a weakened attack and accuracy loss for magic and ranged attacks. (Ex: Black mage elemental magic will do 0 damage)

Spells

 * Blue Magic - Self-Destruct

Other

 * You recieve this effect if you die, and are then resurrected by a player, or by a Reraise effect.
 * Re-entering a Dynamis area during a reservation will cause a character to be afflicted with a significantly more potent form of weakness that lasts for 15 minutes.
 * Occasionally if you fail to lock-pick a chest (example: using Thief's tools) one of the penalties can be a 60 minute lasting weakend effect.
