NPC highlights must be complete matches, which makes the use of wildcards straightforward. Chat highlights can be partial matches, so the behavior of wildcards is not so straightforward. Perhaps their matching should be greedy only until the next whitespace? e.g.

Pattern: "duel*" Going to the duel arena soon Going dueling

Pattern: "duel *" Going to the duel arena soon Going dueling

That would be a good idea. As far as I can see at the moment if someone is saying a word that is on the list but it have additional letter the word won't be highlighted unless it matches 100% to the word you have added, which means you have to add several ending of the same word to the list. Would help if it really just detected the word you have set no matter the spelling. e.g.

Word: duel Going to the duel arena soon Going dueling Just dueled someone It's time to du-du-duel

It could just highlight the whole word like in bfmoatbio's example also, As long as the word you have in the list is present in the word.
