Keyword.Curse:Aperion/Content/Aperion/Data/Gameplay/SourceData/source_data.json → localization → Keyword.Curse - codex: a Codex entry is about a keyword when its title has the same word stems (first 6 letters of each word) or its id ends with the keyword's name
- forms: a keyword's forms are its name plus the Detailed Stats participle that starts with it ("Damage to Breached" → Breached)
- filters: an Armory trait filter belongs to a keyword when its name contains one of the keyword's forms
- traits_text: traits whose localized text contains one of the forms, but whose keyword list in the files doesn't include the keyword
- numbers: curve-table rows and globalParameters whose names contain the keyword's name without spaces (ailments: Ailment + the files' element word)
