/**
* This effect is used in a quest in the Dwarf bread museum. Simulates
* a loose tooth that will be knocked out elsewhere. Added from eating
* dwarf bread.
* <p>
* The effect does not time out. The argument is an integer of how many
* 'stages' to advance the looseness of the tooth. If arg is -1, effect
* will end with a tooth dropping out if old arg was over 5.
