[[Interrupt effect]] is the term for [[game mechanics]] triggered by an [[interrupt]].

===Game mechanics===
Certain skills which interrupt also have an effect that occurs along with the interruption. All interruption skills which feature an additional effect fall into the category of [[spell]]s, [[signet]]s or [[attack skill]]s. The behavior of these skills is noted below:

'''Spells and Signets that cause direct interruption'''

* Any spell or signet that causes direct interruption and has an effect in addition to its interruption will trigger that additional effect so long as the condition for interruption is met and so long as that additional effect is not a knockdown.
** This means that, if [[Power Spike]] is used on a target who is casting a spell or chant, and that spell or chant is not interrupted, that target will still take damage.
*** However, skills such as [[Psychic Instability]] and [[Signet of Clumsiness]] will not knockdown a target who is not interrupted.

'''Attack Skills that cause direct interruption'''

* Any attack skill which causes direct interruption will also cause its additional effects so long as the condition for interruption is met and so long as that additional effect is not an increased disable time.
** In the case of [[Exhausting Assault]], a target who is casting a spell yet is not interrupted will still suffer [[overcast]] .
** In the case of [[Distracting Shot]], a target who is using a skill yet is not interrupted will not have that skill become [[disable]]d.
** In the case of [[Savage Slash]], a target who is casting a spell yet is not interrupted will still receive additional damage.

'''Hexes that cause interruption upon a condition being met'''

* There are five hex skills which conditionally cause an interruption.
** [[Clumsiness]] and [[Wandering Eye]] are immune to all forms of interruption prevention. A target who is hexed with either of these spells will always be interrupted and suffer the respective damage.
** [[Shivers of Dread]] and its duplicate cause energy loss regardless of interruption so long as the condition for interruption is met.
*** [[Rust]] is technically a hex spell, yet unlike the above hex spells, causes a direct interruption, and so behaves in line with the aforementioned category of spells and signets.

'''Anomalies'''

* In the case of [[Frustration]], damage will trigger even if the target is under an effect that prevents interruption.
* In the case of [[Simple Thievery]], if a skill is prevented from being interrupted (i.e under the effects of [[Mantra of Concentration]]), that skill will not be disabled and Simple Thievery will not become a copy of that skill.

=== Interrupts with a secondary effect ===
These interrupt skills cause a secondary effect.
