Leak

Leak is a status effect that causes the affected unit to have decreased EP regeneration for three rounds. The amount of reduction conferred is equal to the intensity of the effect. This effect can (and often will) cause EP regeneration to be negative, which results in a loss of EP (degeneration) at the end of each of the affected unit's party's turns.

What it Represents
Leak usually represents debilitating blows, especially to the head, which cause a short-term lapse in mental focus or physical energy. For mechanical units, it can represent a temporary power leak brought about by sabotage.
