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.
