Regeneration
Regeneration creates a smooth wave that travels across the health bar as your hearts are restored

Poison
Small animated bubbles appear around poisoned hearts, making the effect easier to notice without covering the HUD

Burning Hearts
When you are on fire, animated flames appear directly around your hearts and follow the health bar

Totem Effect
Using a Totem of Undying triggers a short health-bar animation, giving the save more visual impact
