*Aliases and quests will automatically unregister for this event when the quest stops. Active magic effects will automatically unregister when they are removed. | |||
*Subsequent calls to RegisterForUpdate will override previous ones - i.e. calling it back to back will result in updates at the second call's interval, but not the first. It does not interfere with updates registered via RegisterForSingleUpdate. | |||
