↗/Augmented by Level: An effect raises naturally, linked to a character's level in some way.

⤴/Augment Up: Raises an effect upward. Often used by spending a resource, such as a spell slot, to raise the variable effect. Can also tie said variables.

⤵/Augment Down: Lowers an effect, often reducing the number by a given amount. Downcast spells follow these rules.

↣/Augment by Chaining: Certain Actions and Abilities that normally have a restriction (such as the "Part of an Attack" syntax/cost of only one per Attack) can be ignored, leading to such action(s) or abilities being layered with the same free action.
