Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

I like the new changes to Shield and Mage Armour spells, eliminating the gaudy circle and twinkling lights around the caster. However, I would like to suggest the implementation of an alternate way to track Shield spell duration solely for the sake of those characters who rely on brooches, since the duration of that is so short that the player can easily forget he or she no longer has the benefit from +4 AC now that the visual aid is gone. My thinking doesn't take me any further than this, however. How could it be done, if deemed a good idea?

How about this instead?

The client extender has a spell start/cease notification flag.

I am not a fan of sparkly gaudy spell effects, especially if they contradict the way those spells work and look in PnP. However...

... this is very interesting. How does that work? I have never received such notifications. Would they work even with spells you get from items, from other players etc?
