Volatility by itself has no inherent effects. Volatility lasts 4 seconds and gaining stacks of Volatility will refresh the duration. There is a cooldown of 0.1 seconds between gaining stacks of Volatility.
Volatility is capped at 200 stacks by default. Controlled Chaos will change the limit to 30, overriding other modifiers to this maximum.
If the player character dies through taking damage from Volatility, the following text will be output to the chat as a death message: <Player> has detonated.
