FF7/Battle/Attack Special Effects
Attacks and Items can have additional Special Effects that take place after Damage Calculation is performed. Several of them take a Modifier that further defines what action to take. If the Effect doesn't take a modifier, the modifier is NULL (FFh). Here are the known values with examples of some attacks that have these values. If there are others, they are not used in any of the attacks.

NOTE: For these two Effects, if they are not called as part of a Limit Break they will return an index of 0.
For Effect 0Fh, this means performing "Game Over" and ending the battle in a victory.
For Effect 13h, the player's characters' battle queues freeze and no PC can perform any action after this was selected. Enemies still attack. The reason for this is unknown.
