Status Effects & Augments

Some status effects and augments get their effect within a formula functions while others don't.

For example, the status effect Haste increases the speed at which the caster's action charge gauge is filled. Since a formula function is executed once a caster's action gauge is full, modifying this inside a formula function would have no effect on the caster at all. However, you can give Haste an entirely new effect such as doubling the caster's damage as that calculation is done in a formula function.

Another example would be the Safety augment which is used to protect bosses from effects such as instant death, fractional damage or stat modifying actions. All of these effects are created with formula functions, so you can always modify or expand them if needed.
