Status attributes have a strong bearing on the related stats, and contribute heavily to formulae involving them.

Generally speaking, this value will begin low and will increase as any of those four factors increases. Life is a multiplier on the number of hit points your character has. 100 life is the standard value for most races, but some races have less life than others and as such will have less HP despite having higher strength, constitution, and will. Some feats such as Ascetic can increase life by 4 for every feat level, up to +20 life. More life can also be attained from equipment attributes. Some equipment materials guarantee additional life, such as armor made from rubynus. | ||

Unlike in Elona, Spells like the Hero spell, which grants temporary strength, '''DO''' add HP. Abilities that drain your attributes until restored at a healer, will reduce your maximum HP. | ||
Generally speaking, Life is the most important attribute determining HP, followed by character level. Of the major attributes, Constitution is the most important, especially when your levels are low. | Generally speaking, Life is the most important attribute determining HP, followed by character level.

====Mana/MP==== | ====Mana/MP==== | ||
Every character has a number of mana points (MP) defined by their mana statistic (based on choice of race), and their learning, will, and magic attributes. As these attributes increase, so does the amount of MP the character can use. | |||
The formula for MP is: | |||
[INSERT FORMULA HERE] | |||
Much like life, equipment, spells, potions, mutations, and the like also may add or take away mana points. However, unlike HP, characters can still cast magic and survive once their MP goes below 0. You can have negative MP as a result of MP being drained (such as from failing to read a spellbook or ancient book), by overcasting (casting with insufficient MP). When your MP goes negative, a magic reaction occurs in which you take a large amount of HP damage that increases the more negative your MP gets. This reaction can easily by fatal to some characters, but this can be reduced through the [[Elin:Skills|Magic Capacity]] skill. [[Elin:Race|Elea]] and [[Elin:Race|Eulderna]] both have the racial feat that drastically reduces mana overflow as a result of casting magic while having negative MP. | |||

Vigor heavily determines the player's stamina pool(SP). SP is also determined by endurance and sum of all '''[[Elin:Skills|skills]]'''. | Vigor heavily determines the player's stamina pool(SP). SP is also determined by endurance and sum of all '''[[Elin:Skills|skills]]'''. | ||
