+`applyScaledEffect` provides the non-stacking Arcane-scaled variant. Source-aware applications reject infinite or
+higher-amplifier active effects instead of creating vanilla hidden fallbacks, ensuring that the visible effect and its
+single tracked owner cannot diverge. Generic applications are server-only, reject invalid or cross-dimension sources,
+and honor team/friendly-fire rules for harmful player-on-player effects. Source
 metadata is keyed by the external effect's registry ID and is cleared lazily when queried after the effect expires;
 `clearEffectSource` can clear it explicitly without removing the effect.

 Fracture stacks up to three times. Each stack removes 2 armor and 1 armor toughness; reapplication adds a stack and
 refreshes its duration. Arcane scales that refreshed duration but never changes the fixed attribute penalties.
