MAGIC is a string used to present that state.

FACE is a face used to present the state.

ITEM-DESC is a string describing the state for options.

GROUP-DESC is a string describing the state for groups. If this is left out, ITEM-DESC will be used.

The string %c in either description will be replaced with the category of the item. These are group, option, and face.

The list should be sorted most significant first.
