Hello. There is a small suggestion to change the name of the effect status. Rename “terror” to “fear” or “horror”  
“Terror” doesn’t sound good

Terror is the correct name imo

“Horror” is the wrong term.

Terror is a fine name. The only other synonym I can think of would be “Fear”, which is arguably a bit too broad for this usage.

Technically “panic” is also a valid synonym, as it literally means a state of fear that causes one to flee.

But, I think Terror is fine.

I always thought “rout” [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rout](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rout) would have been more appropriate.
