 ===== Spell & Item Special Effects Pointers =====
+The same value ($27, $38 or $4B) in spell data is used to check both tables. A spell that only has a once-per-target effect only has an entry in the first table, with RTS in the second while a spell that only has a once-per-strike effect and a RTS in the once-per-target table. An attack that has both will have entries in both tables.

 * RTS mean no effect is assigned.
+Effect $00 is used repeatedly by the game engine to denote no effect: changing its pointer to anything but an RTS results in a dangerously unstable battle engine.
