Minecraft version: 1.12.2
Wizardry version: 4.2.1
Environment: Singleplayer

Issue details: When attempting to figure out an unknown spell (Ward), I gained the Hunger status effect, briefly. However, ever since then the Hunger seems to be permanently "present" (Timer: 0:00, Hunger Bar coloration), but it does not affect the actual value in any way. The glitch is fixable via gaining Hunger again and allowing that (invisible) timer to run out.

Sounds like a server/client desync. Thanks for reporting, I'll investigate.
