Do not hold me to anything below. This is more or less a whiteboard for me to work out ideas.

ASSUME ALL EFFECTS BELOW CAN HAVE A SEPERATE ITEM OR SPELL OR ACTION THAT PREVENTS OR UNDOES THEIR EFFECTS.

Keep in mind that these are not necessarily all caused by the same things. Some might be caused by a spell, some by an item. Some might be caused by an NPC, some by a curse or blessing.

Some may be combined together in certain spells, etc.

Blah blah.

Assume "friends" also means guildmates, etc.
