How works the spell Phantom Pain?

[Aswaarg]

This spells deal 1d4 persistent mental damage if the objective fails or Crit. fails a DC Will.

The spell have a 1 min. duration and can deal sickened 1 or 2 to the target. Also says if the target recovers from the sickened condition, the persistent damage ends.

Can the target try to get rid of the persistent damage at the end of his turn, even if he is still sickened? Or is the duration of the spell aplying the persistent damage while he is sickened? What ends when the minute pass, the persistent or both (sickened and persistent damage)?

I guess this spell is aplying a phantom pain (sickened condition) for a minute and while the pain is in there, the damage is done (the 1d4 persistent damage), but when the spell ends, the pain (sickened) goes away. The same happens when the target get´s over the pain.

Thoughts?

[Xenocrat]

Three ways to get rid of these effects.

1. Remove the persistent damage as usual, with a free flat check every round or with extra actions to try to remove it. If you succeed, the persistent damage ends, but the sick 1 does not.

2. Try to remove the sick 1 as usual, by spending an action for a new save. If this succeeds, bot the sick 1 and and persistent damage end.

3. Wait 1 minute. This ends the sick 1, and ends the persistent damage if it didn't end separately via a flat check.
