Status Effects:

Poison: Poison is an effect caused either by magic, or by a weapon that is poison tipped such as a dart or a dagger, or even a sword. Poison, when a person is effected by it, does  5 points of damage for each round of combat until he is cured.

Paralyze: When a character is paralyzed, he cannot move until the effects wear off. Paralysis on average only lasts about an hour, or can even be cured by a mage or an item.

Mute: Mute when cast on a character makes it so they can no longer speak. This is especially effective on a character that relies heavily on magic, since a magic user needs to be able to speak, his key for the spell to be cast. Mute can be cured by certain spells, but the magic user cannot cast a mute-countering spell on himself if he is muted. Mute will only last half an hour then will cure itself.
