Ability: Attacks, boosts spell damage, other benefits tuned by combat items

Messages

During combat the sidekick will sometimes attack, according to how it was tuned:

• Physical: <name> bops your opponent over the head with a rubber mallet. It seems innocent, but this rubber mallet is coated in lead. Your opponent takes X damage..^[sic]
• Psychic: <name> makes your opponent laugh until they cry, causing X (psychic) damage.
• Fire: <name> assautls^[sic] your opponet^[sic] with a barrage of flaming juggling pins, dealing X (fire) damage.
• Sonic: <name> sings loudly and badly off tune. You're used to it, but your opponent isn't. They take X (sonic) damage.

When you perform a damage spell:

<name> performs a magic trick, making a five-chip piece disappear and reappear someplace unexpected. The opening act makes your own skill appear all that much more impressive.

When tuned to Healing, sometimes at the end of combat:

<name> tells you a long and funny story about how he got this one scar. The story changes every time, and every time you laugh. Laughter, being the best medicine, gains you Y HP.

When tuned to MP-Restore, sometimes at the end of combat:

<name> swigs from a flask and staggers around drunkenly before proffering you the same flask. Hesitantly you take a sip, but it's just cold, refreshing water. You gain Z PP.

Notes

• Using a combat item gives a special message and tunes the sidekick:

When you produce the <item>, <name> grabs it, works it into a juggling routine, cavorting and saying <saying>

• Tuning remains until a new item is used and changes the tuning.
• Items tuning to Physical damage show the saying: "The most kindest cut of all is a jest that will not scar."
