Increased chance for elemental ailments

If it crits, you will always attempt to inflict a status elemental effect, provided it does the minimum necessary elemental damage.
If it doesn't crit, then you have a chance to still inflict the status effect.

If you have a 10% chance to crit, you have a 10% chance to inflict an elemental effect.
If you have a 10% chance to inflict a status effect, you also have another 10% chance to inflict said effect.

This is all correct. The chance to crit (thus inflicting a status effect) and the chance to just inflict a status effect are entirely separate events. If either occurs, a status effect is caused.

Note that chance to cause status is tested independently for each monster, while crit is rolled once for the spell (and then tested against each monster, but with the same result on each in most situations).
