⚙️ Adjust Workflow for Memory Loss

[Jonathan Robertson]

Current

1. Once player exceeds the long-term memory threshold, dying causes memory loss
2. Player can use Trader Jen's Memory Booster to add Hardened Memory buffs which operates similar to a one-time shield against memory loss

Planned

1. Players will receive a long-term ailment/debuff called "Fragile Memory" upon death once they have reached the long-term-memory threshold. Player who dies with Fragile Memory will experience Memory Loss (and keep Fragile Memory)
2. Player can use Trader Jen's Memory Booster to cure Fragile Memory (and this explanation will be included in the Fragile Memory debuff description for reference any time).

Why the Change?

The current flow is confusing players and there isn't a natural way to warn players when Amnesia activates. This adjustment will serve both purposes: giving players a warning, and also fitting within the existing "injury/ailment needs a cure" workflow that players are already used to.
