A Special Effect is an aesthetic property that is distinguishable from other aspects of an item due to dynamic behavior.
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, even reducing 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.
Please note that many of these names are not officially used in the game itself.
