    • The Inventory Effect consists of a total of 3 slots, and each slot has a designated stat. When converting the Inventory Effect, the stat's value changes according to its grade. (The type of stat does not change.)

    • Special Options are activated when all 3 currently applied slots reach Unique grade or higher.

    • (Added) If additional effects are reconfigured while Special Options are activated, causing the grade to drop below the activation requirement, the previously activated Special Options will be deactivated.
