Additional effects are effects that are added to normal weapon hits through spells, abilities, or items. Such examples are [[Enaero]], [[Flame Sword]], and [[Blood Weapon]].

* Additional effects do not stack with each other. You can only have one effect on each hit.
* Different effects have different proc rates. [[Enaero|Enspells]] and a few items like [[Sirocco Kukri]] have a 100% proc rate.
* Effects such as [[Souleater]] and [[Sneak Attack]] are NOT additional effects. They factor into the normal hit damage.
* Additional effects do not proc on [[Weapon Skill]]s or abilities such as [[Weapon Bash]].
* Additional Effects have a base proc rate that varies from 1% (like [[Twilight Scythe]]) to 100% (like [[Perfervid Sword]]).
* Additional Effect procs are generally affected by a [[Magic Hit Rate]] calculation, but how the [[Resist]]s manifest can vary like with magic spells.
** Status effects can have their duration modified or can be entirely resisted.
** Damage typically is subject to the normal 1~1/8 [[Resist]] distribution.
** Some additional effects (like [[Excalibur]]'s effect) cannot be resisted.

'''Example - Low Proc rate, high Magic Hit Rate:'''
:Say you throw a [[Jinx Discus]], which natively has a low proc rate (12.5%). Assuming your magic hit rate is capped out, you probably have a 95% chance of landing the additional effect (if it chooses to proc). So overall you have about a 12% proc rate, despite having capped Magic Hit Rate.
'''Example - High Proc rate, low Magic Hit Rate:'''
:Say you swing [[Perfervid Sword]], which has a 100% proc rate, against a very magically evasive target. Much of the time you are going to hit for low (1/8) damage, because the target is so evasive.
'''Example - Low Proc rate, low Magic Hit Rate:'''
:Say you swing [[Twilight Scythe]], which has a 1% proc rate, against a very magically evasive target. Assuming the monster isn't immune to [[death]], which it might be, you are still probably never going to get a death proc because you're multiplying 1% by 1% (or so).

== Unsolved Mystery ==
How exactly the proc rate and magnitude of the effect is calculated for different additional effects? Are they simply level based or are there stats that effect them? Where does [[Magic Accuracy]] help?
