Collision effect fires when the wielder attacks with this weapon, or when a non-weapon item hits something (e.g. a key unlocking a door sets locked: false).

Equipment
Items with weapon checked equip to the weapon slot. Items with a wearable slot equip to that armor slot.
These are mutually exclusive — the engine checks weapon first. Weapons and armor can both have wear_effect stat bonuses and enchantment.

Use Effect

Set consumable in Attributes to destroy the item after use. Set deferred when the player must pick a target before the effect fires.

Use Options
Targeted Spell Settings
Used by staffs, wands, and any item with use_effect "targeted_spell".
The player aims, a projectile fires, and the spell_effect triggers on hit.
Charges are tracked via the Stats section below (add a "pow" stat).
Staffs recharge over time (per_turn > 0). Wands do not recharge (per_turn: 0) but can gain charges via enchantment.
Spell Effect (what happens on hit)
e.g. center: intense_fire, radius: 1, outer: fire (area), or apply_state: poisoned (single target), or blink_self: true
