The clock always jumps forward to the next occurrence of that time, so the date never runs backwards. Freeze holds it there — otherwise it keeps ticking from the new time. Changing the day length re-arms the hour tick and is sent on to clients, but expect the time of day to jump: it is derived from real time modulo the day length.

Multiplies the chance to improve a skill or spell (on each successful use) and to gain a hit point (on a kill). Caps still apply: abilities stop at 99 and base max health at 101+stamina, and rooms that block improving still block it.

Scales damage at both AssessDamage funnels, so melee, spells, area effects and hazards are all covered. Applied before resistances and defence so those still matter; the game's per-hit damage cap still bounds what a player can take from one blow.

Anything but Automatic pins the weather — otherwise the next game day would re-roll it (every game day, so quite often at the current fast clock). Storm also drives the stormy dawn/dusk/day phase.

The distance at which entities spawn into and despawn out of a player's view. Applying it re-runs every logged-on player's visibility check straight away, so enemies appear/disappear to match the new radius without waiting for them to move. Monsters go dormant past 1.5x this.

Acts on the chosen player, or on the room they are standing in. Spawned enemies are forced in at the player's exact position (room monster caps ignored) and wake up hostile; killed enemies drop loot and leave corpses that decay normally — nobody is credited with the kills. Killing the player drops their corpse and loot and respawns them, with no killer credited (so no death broadcast and no PK flagging).
