No Parameters - Returns nothing

This routine determines which stats will be reduced (no bonus here) in a hard coded way (See here))
Chosen ability will decrease by Used Ability X amount.
Enables Attack Type flag 0x01 (pseudo status), preserves other flags
No cumulative mechanics, only one stat will be altered (PA > MA > Speed)

Hard coded mechanics

The Altered stat is tied to Ability ID
 - Ability 0x8f : Speed malus
 - Ability 0x90 : PA malus
 - Ability 0x91 : MA malus
 - Ability 0xc5 : Speed malus
 - Ability 0xc6 : PA malus
 - Ability 0xc7 : MA malus

If the routine is called by another ability, stat will not be reduced
