Removes liquid coatings
Coated in plasma is an effect applied to anything that comes in contact with 
plasma.
The only direct and immediate effect of being coated in plasma is that all liquid coverings are immediately removed from the creature or object.[1]
However, this effect also applies a -100 penalty to heat, cold, and electric elemental resistances, and makes it impossible for the coated creature or object to naturally return to ambient temperature for the duration of the effect.[1] This can make a creature or object extremely susceptible to temperature effects that can start them on fire or freeze them, and also makes them extremely susceptible to heat, cold, or electric damage.
Duration
The duration of the coated in plasma effect is dependent on the density of plasma that the object or creature came into contact with.
The effect lasts for a random number of turns between Density * 2 / 5 and Density * 3 / 5.[1]
