Element Sheet โ
The Element Sheet is stored inside the Game sheet. Should be the first one visible.
id โ
int
The most important cell of an entry that distinguishes it from everything else on the SourceChara sheet. If the ID matches a vanilla entry's or another mod's entry's ID, the last sheet to load will override all the others. This value cannot have any spaces or special characters in it.
alias โ
string
The string alias of this Element. Usually people should be using the Id to access the element, but this gives them a string representation as well. Used by the other aliasX columns that we will cover below.
name_JP โ
string
The name of this element in Japanese.
altname_JP โ
string[]
A comma seperated list of values that contain alternative adjectives in Japanese for this element. Usually only for the magical elements like Fire being equated with red, burning.
altname โ
string[]
A comma seperated list of values that contain alternative adjectives for this element. Usually only for the magical elements like Fire being equated with red, burning.
aliasParent โ
string
A string pointing to the alias of a parent element for this element. This is used for multiple things.
- It maps a specific magical element to its parent attribute (e.g. Fire -> MAG and Holy -> WIL.)
- It maps the resistances to a specific magical element to it's original magic element (e.g. resFire -> eleFire.)
- It maps specific mutations to their negative versions. (e.g. Lithe Leg which increases speed to Twisted Legs which reduces speed.)
- It maps abilities and spells to their parent attribute for calculations (e.g. Swarm is mapped to DEX while Bladestorm is mapped to STR)
aliasRef โ
string
A string pointing to the alias of a reference element for this element. This is used for multiple things.
- For Multiplier Elements (e.g. r_life, r_mana, r_DV, r_PV), these point at the element that is being multiplied.
- For Magical Elements (e.g. eleFire) this will point at the resistance element (e.g. resFire.)
- For abilities/spells, (e.g. Suicide Bomb) these will point at the element used for damage (e.g. eleImpact.)
- "mold" is a special alias that can be used here that is used in the generation of spells in all magical elements. (e.g. breathe_ with mold will generate breathe_fire, breathe_cold... etc.)
aliasMtp โ
string
A string pointing to the alias of the element that is a multiplier of the current row. (e.g. life is multiplied by r_life.)
parentFactor โ
float A value used as a multiplier for calculations regarding this element, such as potential, spell power scaling, etc.
lvFactor โ
int
A value used as part of the calculations regarding this element. Not sure how it's
encFactor โ
int
A value used as part of the calculations when calculating this element for enchantments, like on random gear.
encSlot โ
string
A comma seperated list of strings that represents what slots this skill or enchantment can be applied to. Yes, it's defined as string and is used as a string[]. Examples include:
- weapon
- all
- shield
- body parts like back, finger, waist, head, etc.
mtp โ
int
An int used in calculations for this element.
LV โ
int
An int used to determine the "level" of this element. For some elements like spells, it dictates requirements for spawning. Earthquake is level 20, while Meteor is level 30, making them a lot harder to find at low level spell vendors than say Fire Ball which is only level 15.
For other elements like Enchantments, it dictates what danger level is needed for them to spawn. Finding resist fire/cold/lightning is easy at level 15 while resist cut and impact are much higher at 100 and 200 respectively.
chance โ
int
An int that influences the spawn chance for RNG goodness. When it's 1000, it spawns commonly, and the lower it goes the rarer it will be, with 0 making it impossible to spawn normally.
value โ
int
An int that influences the item value specific for this element. Such as a spellbook of a spell, or a specialized skillbook of a skill.
cost โ
int[]
For spells and abilities, this influences the starting cost of the spell/abilities before scaling with level.
geneSlot โ
int

sort โ
int
The int weight for sorting. Mostly used for Abilities and Spells, impacts in what order they show up in your Spell/Ability list.
target โ
string
For Abilities and Spells only. This column shows how the given action is used.
- Self: This action targets the caster, so it will be activated when simply clicked, such as Ball spells.
- Ground: This action targets an empty tile, such as Flare spells.
- Neighbor: This action targets an adjacent character, such as Hand spells.
- Chara: This action targets a specific character within range, such as Arrow spells.
- Party: This action targets the entire party, such as Absorb Mana.
- SelfParty: This action applies to the player party. This is used for spells that can target inventories, such as enchanting weapon/armor, and identification spells, and will bring up the selection screen after casting.
- Select: This action can be used as self casting, OR targetting a specific character, such as Healing spells.
- Enemy: This action can only be used to target characters hostile to you and your party.
proc โ
string[]
Can either be one string or two strings separated by a comma. For Abilities and Spells only. This column has multiple uses.
- When used with Buffs and Debuffs, this column is used by the Combat AI to understand what condition is applied with this action.
For example: Natures Embrace has Buff,ConHOT which tells the game this ability applies the Buff ConHOT to a character, and thus if your entire party is already affected by ConHOT, the AI will skip over this ability when evaluating what ability to use. - For vanilla abilities/spells, there is a large ActEffect class that handles the effect of these spells, so this column will be used as the EffectId string in that function. (e.g. Breathe maps to EffectId.Breathe.)
- For some summon spells/abilities, this column starts with Summon, then the chara id of the entity being summoned (e.g. Summon,monster for SpSummonMonster.) However, do be careful since there is still some degree of coding with regards to scaling and elemental types involved in the ActEffect class, so when wanting to add new summoning spells this might not be as straightforward.
type โ
string
A string pointing at the class this element uses codewise. Common ones include Element, Ability, Spell, Feat. VERY IMPORTANT FOR MODDING as you will have to point this at your own custom class name. (e.g. MyCustomFeat or ActMyCustomAbility.)
