 ==Notes==
 *Active Effects from different sources are counted as unique Active Effects, even if they are the same. For example, a '''Shield''' effect from a potion, a '''Shield''' effect from another potion, and a '''Shield''' effect from a spell, each one will return their own magnitude.
-**Untested
+**If the Magic Item has 2 of the same effect, they will be counted separately.
-**#Do effects from the same source stack into one? That is, if a potion has 2 '''Shield''' effects, will there be 2 Active Effects, each with their own magnitude?
+**If the effect is from the same Magic Item (i.e., 2 instances of DrinkAle), it will still count as 2 separate Active Effects.
-**#Will the same spell stack? That is, if you cast a '''Shield''' spell on an NPC twice, will there be 2 Active Effects or 1? (If spells don't work that way, potions can be stacked multiple times on the player by applying it as a poison.)
+***The only exception is scripted effects with the same script. Generally, only the first one's data (Magic Item Index, Caster, etc.) will be used.
