A Special Effect is an aesthetic property that is distinguishable from other aspects of an item.

Notes

Some items have more than one special effect. Sometimes an effect is only on one or a few areas of an entity, not the entire entity.

Graphics settings can change how some of these effects look, sometimes reducing them or even removing them entirely. This usually happens with sheen.

Some accessories that are essentially "special effects" can have a large impact on appearances. For example, the ghostly aura tends to shade your knight quite a bit.

Most accessories and weapons are technically "adamant." But it is unusual for an armor, helmet, or costume item to be adamant, and so we have a category for curious users looking for such things.

List
