Status Effects are conditions afflicted by entities to another entity. Any entity can be afflicted with status effects and such afflictions may be positive or negative. All status effects expire over time, except for the Beginner's Luck and the Curse status effects.
All status effects currently afflicted on an entity can be viewed as an icon underneath their health bar. For the player, the icons appear above the player's health bar and can be hovered over to view the effect's name and description.
