+====== Control Effects ======
+{{ rpd:images:charm_buff.png|Control Effect }}
+Control effects are status effects or spells that limit the actions of a character (either ally or enemy) in some way. Common control effects include charm, root, stun, fear, and paralysis.
+==== Types of Control Effects ====
+  * **[[rpd:charm_buff|Charm]]** - Makes an enemy fight for you temporarily
+  * **[[rpd:roots_buff|Root]]** - Prevents movement for a number of turns
+  * **[[rpd:stun_buff|Stun]]** - Prevents all actions for a number of turns
+  * **[[rpd:fear_buff|Fear]]** - Makes an enemy flee from combat
+  * **[[rpd:paralysis_buff|Paralysis]]** - Prevents all actions but not necessarily for a fixed duration
+  * **[[rpd:vertigo_buff|Vertigo]]** - Causes disorientation, making targets attack randomly
+  * **[[rpd:amok_buff|Amok]]** - Makes enemies attack randomly
+==== Countering Control Effects ====
+  * **[[rpd:potion_of_purity_item|Potion of Purity]]** can remove many control effects
+  * Some rings and armor provide resistance to various control effects
+  * Some control effects have a chance to break naturally when the affected character takes damage
+==== Strategy ====
+Control effects are powerful in combat:
+  * Use crowd control to manage multiple enemies effectively
+  * Apply to powerful single enemies to neutralize them temporarily
+  * Combine with damage-over-time effects for maximum effectiveness
+  * Be aware of how long each control effect lasts
