• The chance to acquire an affliction is determined when the Spinel Tonic is activated.
  • The Tonic Afflictions are not given to the player until the tonic buff wears off, meaning that if the equipment is activated multiple times and then the tonic buff ends, multiple stacks of Tonic Affliction can be gained at once.
    • This can be avoided by advancing to the next stage, which removes the tonic buff without giving any Tonic Afflictions.
  • The Tonic Affliction is added directly to the player's inventory.

• Tonic Afflictions can be avoided if the buff is kept up continually, and all afflictions have their effects negated while the buff is active.
