Fusion Results:

• Accident: Result Persona is random, inherits chosen skills, and does not receive an Arcana Burst.
• Fusion Alarm: Result Persona matches, inherits more chosen skills, receives a bigger Arcana Burst, and may ask to mutate skills.
• Fusion Alarm Accident: Same as a normal fusion accident.
• Fusion Alarm Yellow Accident: Result Persona is random, receives no Arcana Burst, and mutates all skills to a predetermined trait and skillset.
