Proposal: visual effect for Ghost Moth's drain
The rationale is that the more information that can be conveyed visually without obscuring anything, the better. In the ideal world, one wouldn't have to pay attention to the message box at all to play crawl. Yes, a power user could make a Force_More message to highlight when the Ghost Moth is draining you: a visual display is still a better option.
For newer players, it would accelerate the learning curve by giving a big hint that Ghost Moths are doing something rather significant.
I suggest this particular kind of effect because Ghost Moths are invisible, and so it would be a bad idea to give them a visual effect that gave away their position. The flash is the only visual effect I could think of.
