I don't even really notice this because 90% of the time, I am looking
at my messages scrolling by. This helps me to twist songs (along w/
counting beats in my head) and so I will always see the messages that
say when your spells are going to wear off. I know that Invis(undead
and regular), Illusions, Endure Breath, Levitate, etc. all give you a
couple of *warning* messages. i.e. "You feel you are about to look
like yourself."
