Currently the game will give you a specific charm break message:

[Tue Mar 25 20:06:42 2014] Your Call of Karana spell has worn off.

What is classic is what was is shown in this log, a more generic message:

[Fri Apr 27 16:05:00 2012] Your charm spell has worn off.

Bonus for Fansy proving useful for once?

Same deal for Fear messages:

Bump.

When Fear or Charm spells wear off, they shouldn't tell you "Call of Karana" or "Panic Animal" has ended.

Instead they should more generically tell you "fear" or "charm" have ended.

There are definitely other minor changes to spell messages that could be compiled into a list. For example Color Slant spells used to say "target is dazzled by..." Instead of "target is stunned by...". I can post a screenshot of this later.
These are changes that need to go into the spells file I am pretty sure.

The worn off messages are code changes. Testing a fix for those now, for charm and fear.
