Effects and Flags
Temporary states a player can be under during a match
Effects are temporary. One can change your prompt, cut your timer, block heart gain or multiply what a word pays, and it runs out on its own.
Flags stay on you and change one rule while you carry one. A turn means one of your own, not one of the room's.
