Added DiffLines:

* CastFromExperiencePoints: Reviel can focus all his might to destroy certain obstacles at the cost of experience points, allowing him to bypass certain puzzles. Given that the game has LowLevelAdvantage and that experience points can be saved up before being spent on improving your level, you are likely to have more experience points than needed, making this example less severe than most others.

* StatusBuff: Luna and some monsters can use curse or verse spells to buff party members. The catch is that only one of each type can be active at a time, meaning a new buff will overwrite an older buff of the same type.
