Status Effects

Burn
		Being hit by too many fire-based attacks will eventually apply the Burn status abnormality. Guarding fire attacks does not prevent the Burn gauge from rising. While burning, flames are visible on one's body, and will prevent the regeneration of Posture and will gradually damage Vitality for the duration.

Effect

Burn takes 1% Vitality per second for 10 seconds, for a total of 10% maximum Vitality. It also halts Posture recovery.

Lightning Reversal:

Lightning surges through the bodies of those with their feet on the ground, instantly paralyzing them. A secret technique exists to catch lightning in one's blade while in mid-air, and send it back.

Enfeeblement
		Syphons youth out of the target, restricting his agile movements to only a slow limping, weak attack and the inability to use any items or prosthetic tools. It also greatly reduces his health and disables resurrection.

Effect

Enfeeblement is an unique statues effect inflicted by only one enemy. When the status gauge is full from playing the flute, Sekiro becomes old and infirm, unable to use prosthetics or items, with low health and weak attack. If killed, Sekiro can't resurrect. Once cured, the full health gauge is restored but low health remains.

• Wait for its effect to run out (30 seconds).
• Reaching a Sculptor's Idol and resting.
