Question about Elemental Status Effects and its multiplier

I've tried looking for what exactly each elemental status effect does and I can't find any info on it in-game. Some appear obvious like Ice freezes while Poison deals DoT but what about Fire and Lightning? Searching online hasn't helped either. Also, how does the elemental effect multiplier affect each elemental status effect?

from what i have been able to tell, effect chance is obivously how frequently you apply the status effect, and effect strength multiplier effects how strong the effect is - so for freeze, they'll be frozen longer. for poison the damage should be higher
i think shock makes them take more damage. testing on dummies (not the most consistent thing in the world) seems to suggest it to be the case. about a 25%? damage boost

Fire does a similar DOT to poison, but to everything in a small radius. Lightning gives a 30% damage buff. Elemental multiplier for both lightning and ice applies to duration instead of effect strength.

Also elemental effect chance isn't capped at 100%, the chance scales with damage done divided by target health. Bosses have a HP cap for this calculation so they're still possible to affect.
