Attacks and Items can have additional Special Properties that Damage Calculation takes into account when applying damage. The storage of these bits is reversed from the standard way by having "0" if the effect is active and "1" if it is not.

Bit Effect
0001 Damage MP instead of HP
0002 Unknown. Appears in several attacks (see below)
0004 Force attack to be Physical (unused)
0008 Unused
0010 Caster Drains some of the damage done
0020 Caster Drains HP and MP based on damage done
0040 Unknown. Only appears in Limit Break: Blade Beam
0080 Ignore Status Effect Defense when attempting to Inflict
0100 Causes "Miss" if target is not dead
0200 Can be reflected
0400 Ignores Defense Calculation
0800 Does not re-target if target is inflicted with "Death"
1000 Unused
2000 Always a Critical Hit
4000 Unused
8000 Unused


The Unused ones don't seem to have any immediately obvious effect on damage calculation and they aren't used in any attack available to player or enemy. They are probably place-holders for temporary variables set during damage calculation.
