Area: Maze of Shakhrami
Regarding the additional effect text display for a particular weapon, the Misery Staff, it displayed the following while I was fighting a monster in the Maze of Shakhrami:Luso hits the Caterchipillar for 14 points of damage.
Additional effect: curse.
I feel as though the second line should be remade into something like:Additional effect: The Caterchipillar receives the effect of Curse.
I'm not sure if other weapons that are similar in giving status effects are like this, but it felt awkward to read that when I first used this weapon. It's somewhat vague even though the player assumes that the effect was put onto the enemy, but it doesn't hurt to get more clarification, I think.
While in battle, I was a SMN and had out Carbuncle and a Fellow NPC fighting, as well. The text for the effect can be produced again if the effect activates when attacking with the staff.
