Suppress Affliction - Really buggy spell

[Spam101]

Can somebody tell me how this spell currently works and how it's supposed to work... I know there's been some threads on it discussing the vagaries in the description and the bugs related to the status icons and the character sheet that persist past the end of battle and seemingly permanently.

 

I had an infestation of maggots (in the game) and on the two chars who I used the suppress spell on, they now have multiple suppressed penalty descriptions on their character sheets, eder has multiple stackings of the same status effect... it's all garbled though because there's no name for what's inflicting the stat change, the number of endurance reduced by is 0... but it's all still there.

 

There were also multiple stacks of the same status on the character portrait... up to about 5. These stuck there after combat but when I reloaded they were gone. The character sheet stuff however now seems to be permanent on my save.
