Revision as of 23:45, 18 January 2015
Most effects fall under one of three types: physical, mental or magical. The effect type is not related to method in which the effect was caused, but instead determines what type of saves and inscriptions are needed to resist or remove the effect.
Physical effects are generally the most common and debilitating type of effect. Mental effects can be situationally dangerous. Magical effects are rare, but can be very deadly at times.
Effects of the type "other" are notable in that they cannot be removed by infusions and are also unaffected by various duration-reducing talents.
For the math behind whether a detrimental effect affects the target in the first place, see Saves and To-Hit.

Beneficial Effects
Magical
Arcane Storm
The target is the epicenter of a terrible arcane storm. Gives arcane resistance.
Earthen Barrier
Reduces physical damage received.
Elemental Surge: Lightning
When hit for the first time in the turn, you will not take damage but instead teleport to a random adjacent square. Using a lightning rune grants this effect for a short time, also doing over 300 points of critical lightning damage when possessing the Elemental Surge prodigy.
Haste
Increases global action speed by %d%% and casting speed by a certain percentage, depending on the effect's power.
Invisibility
Improves/gives invisibility with a certain power, depending on the effect's power.
Mana Overflow
Increased maximum mana.
Manasurge
Regenerating mana per turn.
Molten Skin
Reduces fire damage received.
Out of Phase
The target is out of phase with reality, increasing defense by X, resist all by X%, and the duration of all detrimental timed effects by X%.
Reflective Skin
Magically returns a percentage of any damage done to the attacker.
Physical
Blocking
Can apply shield block value against the next physical attack - and if the shield provides the right resistance for it, also non-physical damage. It does not have to be a melee attack. If this completely negates damage, the attacker is set up for a Counterstrike (see under Detrimental Effects).
Dwarven Resilience
Increases armour, physical and spell saves. Usually granted by the Dwarven talent Resilience of the Dwarves.
Evasion
Grants a flat chance (depending on power) to completely negate melee attacks, independent of accuracy and defense.
Free Action
Immunity from Stun, Daze and Pinning (this includes variants such as being frozen or immobilized). It does not, however, help with removing existing effects.
Heroism
While under the Heroism effect, your Life can go into the negatives, but you will not die. How far below zero you can go depends on the effect's power. Instead of your current negative Life rating, three question marks (???) are displayed. Being at negative Life when Heroism runs out or is dispelled is fatal. Heroism also boosts your three highest Stats.
Recovery
Regain a small amount of Life each turn and have the effectiveness of additional healing increased. Usually gained from being at low Life and having the talent Vitality from the Conditioning tree.
Regeneration
Regain some Life each round.
Pain Suppression
Increases your resistance to all damage by the specified amount. Note that the increase in resistance is multiplicative, not additive, so it may show up as less on the character sheet if you already have resistancies. Also note that no resistance can be increased past its resistance cap, usually 70%. Typically this effect is granted by using a Wild Infusion.
Sensing
Allows detection of all Actors even through walls, darkness and similar, within the specified range. Usually gained via the talents Track, Vimsense or Foresight. It is also granted by several items.
Speed
Increases global action speed by a certain percentage, depending on the effect's power. This effect is usually granted by the Shalore talent Grace of the Eternals.
Wild Speed
Your movement speed is greatly increased (typically by a factor of five to ten). Any action other than moving (or opening doors and moving levers) will cancel the effect. Typically this is gained by Movement Infusions (which additionally grant Free Action when Wild Speed ends).
Wrath of the Eternals
Increases all damage dealt while at the same time increasing resistance to all damage. Thaloren racial talent.
Other
Continuum Destabilization
Despite the dangerous sounding name this is actually a good thing, protecting you from Paradox magic to a small extent. Conversely, if your enemies get this, it is slightly annoying.
Fade From Time
Grants some resistance to all damage types and reduces the duration of negative effects at the price of lowered damage output. Usually provided by the talent Fade From Time of the Paradox Mage tree Paradox
Detrimental Effects
Cross-tier Effects
These effects are automatically conferred when an attacker greatly outmatches the defender in a specific comparison of attributes, depending on the kind of attack.
- Off-guard occurs when a melee or archery attack hits, and the attacker's Accuracy is in a higher tier than the defender's Defense.
- Off-balance occurs when a physical talent hits, and the attacker's Physical Power is in a higher tier than the defender's Physical Save.
- Spellshocked occurs when a magical talent hits, and the attacker's Spellpower is in a higher tier than the defender's Magical Save.
- Brainlocked occurs when a mental talent hits, and the attacker's Mindpower is in a higher tier than the defender's Mental Save.
Cross-tier effects are removed on a "buy one get one free" basis by Wild Infusions of the appropriate type, when another effect is being removed. E.g. if a physical Wild Infusion is used to remove Stunned, and the target is also Off-guard, Off-guard will also be removed.
Magical
Decrepitude Disease
The target is infected by a disease, reducing its Dexterity and doing blight damage each turn.

The target is infected by a disease, reducing its Constitution and doing blight damage each turn. Reduced constitution also lowers maximum and effective life.
Spellshocked
All damage resistance is reduced by a certain percentage, usually 20%.
Weakness Disease
The target is infected by a disease, reducing its Strength and doing blight damage each turn. If you were carrying close to your maximum encumberance, the weight of your possesions may now prevent you from moving.

Mental
Agony
Take an increasing amount of mental damage per turn.
Brainlocked
Renders a random talent unavailable. No talents will cool down until the effect has worn off.

Physical
Acid Splash
Does a constant amount of acid damage per turn. Accuracy and damage are lowered for the effect's duration.
Anguish

Bleeding
Take a constant amount of physical damage per turn.
Blinded
The target is blinded, unable to see anything (while blind your map screen is completely black). Blinded monsters move about at random, and blinded spellcasters will fire spells in all directions. Note: This effect is often inflicted by Sun Infusions together with Luminescence (reduces stealth), and a Wild Infusion will randomly clear one, but not both.
Burning
Take a constant amount of fire damage each turn.
Constricted
The target is constricted, preventing movement and making it suffocate (target loses 'air level' each turn).
Corroded
Reduced Accuracy, Armour and Defense for the duration.
Counterstrike
The next incoming melee attack will do double damage. Usually caused by being blocked (see Beneficial Effects: Blocking) by a shield-user.

Your defense is nullified while in the ice and you may only attack the ice but you are also immune to any new detrimental status effects. The target can not teleport or heal while frozen. The iceblock has a number of hitpoints before it is destroyed.
Frozen Feet
A weaker form of Frozen that only prevents movement, same as being Pinned.
Grappled
Unable to move (but teleportation is still possible) and suffer from reduced defense and accuracy.

- movement takes twice as long
- up to four random talents are put on cooldown (instant use talents like shield runes or wild infusions are exempt from this)
- no talents come off cooldown for the duration

Armour value is reduced for the duration.
Sunder Arms
Accuracy is reduced for the duration.
Weakened
All damage reduced by the specified amount.
Other
Damage Smearing
Protects from all damage (except that with type temporal) for the duration. Once it wears off, it will return the damage as temporal damage over a number of turns. See the detrimental effect "Smeared" for how this works. Usually Damage Smearing is provided by the talent of that name from the Temporal Warden tree Temporal Combat.
Infusion Saturation
This effect increases the cooldown of your Infusions. It is caused by using Infusions and gets stronger if you use infusions while it is active. Ultimately it serves to limit how much you can use Infusions without taking a rest. Since it's of the type "other", it can't be cleared with Wild Infusions or reduced in duration with Timeless. There are parallel saturation effects for Runes and Taints.
Runic Saturation
This effect increases the cooldown of your Runes. It is caused by using Runes and gets stronger if you use infusions while it is active. Ultimately it serves to limit how much you can use Runes without taking a rest. Since it's of the type "other", it can't be cleared with Wild Infusions or reduced in duration with Timeless (talent). There are parallel saturation effects for Infusions and Taints.
Silenced
The target is silenced, preventing it from casting spells and using some vocal talents.
Smeared
The price for using Damage Smearing. Will inflict the damage shielded by Damage Smearing as temporal damage over the specified number of turns. See the beneficial effect "Damage Smearing."
Summoning Destabilization
Increases the cooldown for summoning talents.
Tainted
This effect increases the cooldown of your Taints, similarly to the saturation effects for Infusions and Runes.
Temporal Restoration Field
The bonus from having used a Time Shield. Restores 10% of the damage taken during the shield's duration as healing each turn.
Time Prison
The target is removed from the normal time stream, unable to act but unable to take any damage. Time does not pass for this creature.
