Duration
Durations can be decreased at the end of both your own and the enemy's turn. When an effect's duration is decreased, depends on whether the effect is considered useful. Effects useful on your turn are for example damage, healing and allow effects. The durations of these effects are decreased at the end of your turn. Effects useful on the enemy turn are for example stuns, invulnerabilities and damage reductions. The durations of these effects are decreased at the end of the enemy's turn.
