Status Effects
Every timed buff a spell lays on players and every debuff it lays on mobs: what each does while it lasts, how strong it is, and which spells lay it.
A status effect is a timed condition a spell lays: a buff on players — the caster alone, everyone round them, or the ally an orb reaches — or a debuff on the mobs a spell strikes. Each lasts as long as its spell says, stretched by the caster's skills and by the magic stat that governs the spell; laying one again while it lasts refreshes it, the later end and the stronger effect winning. Your own buffs show beside your health and mana with the seconds they have left — a barrier also shows how much more it can soak up — and blink as they run out. Death ends them all.
Laying buffs trains the spell's school: 0.5 experience for every second of effect laid on a player, summed over everyone a cast reaches — the only thing that trains Enchantment. Every spell that lays an effect lists it on the Spells page.
