Lasers can apply Status Effects from FF items to entities that shouldn't be affected by Status Effects

[IWearKhakis]

Items like Magnetic Sand can apply their status effects to entities such as Grimaces, Pipes, Glass Eyes, etc. if the player shoots lasers like Technology, Brimstone, etc.

Note that some entities also don't have the overlay effects to show the status icons, but you can see they still have the effect

Robot Rock can also do this without need of any other items, applying Rotten Tomato Bait to these entities
