Hidden Power

There are 16 Hidden Power effects (slot effects), each of them can be enhanced to Lv. 1-20.
Every slot has its own number of effects that can be changed at any time (except for when the character is in a world zone).
The option applies only if the pattern Lv. 1 and higher.
The effective bonus is determined by the level of the applied pattern and the hidden power gain stage. So, if a pattern is applied Lv. 8, and Hidden Power is amplified to stage 10, then the effect will only work from stage 8:

You can monitor the progress of the hidden power with the use of icons:

Icon	Status	Description
	Bonus is not active	The progression of the hidden power and the applied pattern did not reach this stage.
	Bonus partially active, but not working	The hidden power progression has reached this stage. The bonus will take effect only when the appropriate level pattern is applied. Orange color shows the progress of the hidden power (its stage).
	Bonus is partially active, but not working	The progress of the applied pattern has reached this step. The bonus will take effect only when Hidden Power is enhanced by the required amount of points. Blue color displays the progress of the applied pattern (its Level).
	The bonus is active and works	The hidden power progression has reached this stage. The bonus is effective as long as the appropriate level pattern is applied. Yellow color indicates the activity of the bonus. Blue color displays the progress of the applied pattern (its Level).

If you remove a pattern from a leveled cell, the hidden power progress is not reset, but simply stops working. To reactivate the hidden power bonus, you must apply the pattern.
