  If you want to add more than 1 buff. You can use just one Deactivate buff by setting the type to "PrimalBuff". be careful though as this will deactivate any and all buffs the character currently has active including those that are not part of your mod.

This will add the buff when the item is equipped, deactivate it when unequipped.
