Distortion Effect is a prefix that turns up on Ring and Head. It gives Distortion Effect: +3% to +4% at its lowest step, +62% to +83% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.
It comes up at weight 4 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (distortionEffect), and it is what puts Cursed, Hexed, Warping, Unraveling and Unmaking in an item's name — so you might pick up a Cursed Wand.
3 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Hollow Key, The Cornerless Codex and Tithe of the Court.
