| Disallows use of the interaction in play, but if the interaction animates or resurrects corpses, or has an I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT tag, it can be used in worldgen. Animation and resurrection interactions do not need I_SOURCE:EXPERIMENT to work in worldgen.
+
| This disallows use of the interaction in play, and also encourages usage specifically to create experimental populations. [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=169696.msg8083872#msg8083872]

* '''DEITY''' - Allows the interaction to be inflicted upon mortals by the gods, for reasons dictated by [[Interaction_token#IS_USAGE_HINT|[IS_USAGE_HINT]]].
* '''SECRET''' - Allows the interaction to act as a secret which can be learnt and passed on to others, as specified via [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET|[IS_SECRET]]]. Appropriate [[Interaction_token#I_EFFECT|interaction effects]] with a [[Interaction_token#IE_TARGET|creature target]] will be applied to individuals who learn the secret. It is possible to set restrictions on who may learn the secret by using creature target tokens as described below. Also see [[Interaction_token#IS_SECRET_GOAL|[IS_SECRET_GOAL]]] and [[Interaction_token#IS_SPHERE|[IS_SPHERE]]].

* '''EXPERIMENT''' - This can be used by NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs while "performing horrible experiments" in worldgen. Only seems relevant for interactions that target living creatures. Note that all NIGHT_CREATURE_EXPERIMENTERs have access to generated experiments, and due to the large number of generated experiments available custom experiment interactions will tend to show up very rarely.

One major difference between GAS, VAPOR, and DUST is that if the material cannot exist in the specified state at the current temperature, it will automatically be created at a temperature allowing it to exist.  So if you create a vapor spray that uses rock or metal as a material, that spray will be created at the material's melting point, setting everything it touches on fire.  You can also create a freezing spray by using a custom material that has extremely low melting and/or boiling points.
