Editing Tension (section)

==What is Tension?==
Tension is a state of building up power to unleash in a future action. In {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, every party member has an battle option called '''Psyche Up''' found at the bottom right of the battle menu. This allows the player to take a turn to build up tension. The more times tension is built, the more powerful the next action will be. Tension applies to attacks and magic, but has no affect on skills that do no damage, nor is it depleted when using such skills, such as the [[Underpants Dance]]. 

Once an action affected by tension (such as attacking or casting a spell) is performed, tension is returned to the normal level. There are four levels of tension, with each stage giving a specific damage multiplier bonus: 

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tension Level !! Damage Multiplier
|-
| 0 || x1
|-
| 5 || x1.7
|-
| 20 || x3
|-
| 50 || x5
|-
| 100 || x7.5
|}

'''Damage Calculation Example:'''

Assume [[Angelo]] is in a state of 50 Tension and uses the [[Multiheal]] spell which normally would heal 100 HP to everyone.

 100 x 5 = 500

Therefore he would restore 500 {{HP}} to everyone.

===Enemy Tension===
Some enemies also have the ability to build tension, making them tougher in battle. Fortunately, {{MFamilies}} tension is less effective than a [[human]] character's:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Tension Level !! Damage Multiplier
|-
| 0 || x1
|-
| 5 || x1.5
|-
| 20 || x2.5
|-
| 50 || x3.5
|-
| 100 || x5
|}
