<Custom Apply Effect>
// Set the target's default cyclone times to 0.
target._cycloneTimes = target._cycloneTimes || 0;
// Get the number of turns cyclone will last.
var turns = Math.max(5 - target._cycloneTimes * 2, 1);
// Add the real Cyclone state.
target.addState(134);
// Set the number of turns on the Cyclone state.
target.setStateTurns(134, turns);
// Raise the number of times the target has been affected by Cyclone.
target._cycloneTimes += 1;
</Custom Apply Effect>

<Custom Remove Effect>
// Clear the number of times the target has been affected by Cyclone.
target._cycloneTimes = undefined;
</Custom Remove Effect>
Place this in the notebox for the Cyclone skill’s notebox. Change the values to fit your game’s settings.
<Before Eval>
// Get all of the viable battle members.
var members = BattleManager.allBattleMembers();
// Loop through each member.
for (var i = 0; i < members.length; ++i) {
  // Get current member.
  var member = members[i];
  // If the member exists and is affected by Cyclone...
  if (member && member.isStateAffected(134)) {
    // ...then remove Cyclone.
    member.removeState(134);
  }
}
</Before Eval>

Happy storming!
