## About The Pull Request
I'm "cooking" the materials system a bit, specifically the code
responsible for applying and removing effects. My goal is to move most
of the code to the objects-side, split it in smaller procs that can be
more easily overriden or called for object-specific modifiers and
effects, while also revamping things all around to better support items
made from multiple materials (the cleric mace will most likely be one in
this PR, with the handle and tip made of different materials).
PR NO LONGER WIP, TESTED AND ALL, CLERIC MACES CAN NOW BE MADE OF TWO
MATERIALS.
## Why It's Good For The Game
One of the nastiest flaws with the materials system is that it's just
unfeasable to have items made of multiple mats (with effects enabled)
right now, as they easily tend to override each other, where some of the
modifiers and effects should only be applied the main material.
Beside, the system's starting to show signs of its time, from the
several type checks used to apply different effects, the one letter
variables to the the material flags that are still being passed down as
arguments when you can access them from the atom/source arg anyway. It
would be disonhest of me if I went ahead and coded material fishing rods
or whatever fish fuckery with materials without ensuring it won't
further the technical debt the feature currently has.

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward its arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
